Mashymre Cello

Lord Mashymre Cello was an officer within the Imperial Military, and direct subordinate to Admiral Haman Karn. He was the Captain of the Endra.

Early Life
Mashymre was born on the Volk Colony to a low ranking Confederate Officer. His father was a widower, who bargained what little money he had to send his son to Officer School. Mashymre excelled, and was placed into a specialized class that was only available to wealthy candidates. It was here where he met Haman Karn, a young woman who was among the most gifted in the program. He admired her from afar, and did all he could to impress her. Haman took notice, but did not return Mashymre's affections. Unfortunately, Mashymre realized that he was out of his league regarding the specialized program. The higher class proved too difficult for him, but his pride forced him to stay in despite his poor results. At the conclusion of Officer School, Mashymre's poor grades had left him at the bottom of his graduating class, and he received the low rank of Lieutenant despite his skill.

Imperial Period
Once the Emperor took over, Mashymre felt lost. While he did not always believe the Confederacy was right, he did have a strong sense of loyalty and was uncomfortable with the Emperor's betrayal. However, once he discovered that Haman was one of the Emperor's Admirals, he humbly requested to join her by her side. Impressed by his efforts in officer school and his usefulness as a subordinate, Haman allowed for Mashymre to join her as one of her retainers, promoting him and bestowing the title of Lord upon him. While this granted Mashymre's wishes, many of Haman's other Captains knew that she was using Mashymre's loyalty and did not harbor any special feelings towards him. Mashymre was blind to this, and supported Haman to the best of his abilities.

Lactea Conflict
Mashymre was a key figure in the battle for the Fifth Colony, facing off against The Protagonist multiple times. Despite his efforts, he could not defeat The Protagonist, who would later capture the Fifth Colony.

Personality
Mashymre is a fiercely loyal and determined man. His ideals seem to be outdated in this tumultuous period, yet his efforts to withhold them made him an honorable fighter. While Mashymre was gifted in combat, he was prone to making mistakes, and was often clumsy. He could be quite dramatic, and tended to rant about his foolish sense of responsibility, sometimes to the humor of others. However, Mashymre was not to be taken lightly, and opponents often underestimated his skill.
