VICE GENERAL NOVOTNY RYBOLT

---

Vice General Novotny Rybolt: Commanded the warship Savage Knight, and represented the Imperium Military Forces as adjutant to the Imperium Realm of Divinity; communicating concerns of military might to the religious magistrates, and vice versa. Rybolt was a veteran of many conflicts, including the infamous Solar Wars. His influence weighed in both the Arbiter Courts of Justice Command, and in the Realm of Divinity. He was responsible for commissioning the legendary Kort Villikon.
Personal: Dedicated to his career, Rybolt compromised his own happiness and neglected his family for military duty. A proud soldier, Rybolt was decorated many times for exemplary service, valor, and commitment to military service. Married with four children, his three sons were killed in a shuttle accident, which sent his wife, Serena, into deep depression. Serena became addicted to Imbesi Pain Leeches (worms ingested orally to induce surreal feelings of pregnancy.) She died of a bloated stomach with
severe internal bleeding. Rybolt was widowed with one surviving daughter, Calista, who was 4 years old at the time of Serena's death. Rybolt nurtured the career of a young officer named Villikon and married Calista to the
distinguished soldier. Villikon and Calista bore Rybolt a grandson, Jazar, before their marriage crumbled. Rybolt never approved of his daughter's union with Malcolm Vismal after Villikon was expelled. Rybolt commanded the mission to retrieve Villikon from exile on Itasca.
