Anek Allegro

Captain Allegro is the Chief Strategist for the Protectionist forces. He has a reputation as a "spy-master" and remains out of the public eye.

He likes to remain unknown but those who do know him see him as viciously intelligence, uncompromising, and measured. He is not someone anyone wants to cross.

Appearance
He is slim and rather tall for a male Aard. As an Aard he has a fringe of hair that follows down the back of his neck and around the sides with a speckled pattern. He has large ears like any Aard but he keeps them back and a little less noticeable than others.

He has very dark eyes that can feel rather gravitational in an uncomfortable way. Those who work for him attribute his well run interrogations in part to those disconcerting eyes.

Anek has three very simple black metal bands piercing both his ears. These each represent victorious battles in the Aard military community. He has one piercing on an eyebrow which represents an attachment to a life-partner.

He also has a septum piercing which for Aards represents being a prisoner of war.

History
Not much is known about Anek's history. His piercings and high-level position in the Protectionist forces indicate a powerful and dark military background.

The Aard faced the vast majority of the Glutt offensive in the earlier years of the war, hence the many Aard positions in the military. It is assumed he played a role in those early years.

His first public records in the Gaean systems show him as a Tresher Economist. Economists as known as highly skilled operatives who are sent into new worlds or particular sticky situations in order to create the necessary changes that will maintain the economic balance of the systems.

In-game appearances
Since the start of the story Anek has:
 * Hired The Nova to extract a shipment of gold from an Opportunity identified by Jaunt Ginova
 * Sent in a team of Protectionists to retrieve the shipment
 * Provided information that led to the arrest of Lyanna Tusk, claiming she had been the one to attempt to hire another outside group to steal the gold, betraying The Consul's interests. The gold vanished during the arrest and it's final location is unknown.
 * As The Nova made their way back to Phobos from Sagi on Kaneda Corral's ship, they visited Ashura Uzoh in the brig. Vox Tempest scanned Ashura with his cybereyes, and witnessed a memory of a bloodied Ashura looking stunned in the middle of a battlefield whilst Githinji Uzoh tried to shake him back to awareness. Distracted, Githinji did not notice Glutt soldiers approaching behind them - but they were gunned down by Anek before they could harm either Uzoh. Anek tried urge Githinji to leave, but he refused to do so without his brother. Eventually, Anek helped Githinji carry Ashura away.
