Editing Peleps Illibe (section)

==Backstory==
Peleps Illibe is a lost egg. He was sponsored by Peleps for the sole reason that they could afford it, and he was from the islands-they otherwise had no interest in him. The formative moment of his life came at Pasiap's Stair, where he showed great military acumen but couldn't handle the physical exertion. Falling behind, his classmates decided not to be dragged down with him and planned to kill him in his sleep. Illibe was held down and stabbed fourteen times in an assassination attempt, but survived. He graduated the Stair. After that he moved up the ranks fast, sometimes by virtue and sometimes by careful machinations against his superiors. He was handpicked by the Empress to serve as an Admiral in the Imperial Navy, and has become hopelessly devoted to her. When he became powerful enough, he began to seek out his classmates from The Stair. Over the decades he has had his revenge upon them each of them.

In the realm Illibe serves as a public face for the Empress when she doesn't wish to use her own. He proposes motions in the Deliberative, berates and blackmails anyone who opposes the Empress's hidden or public agendas. Because of his military renown he's very hard to assail in the public forum. And when it's called for he can produce hundreds of soldiers in the guise of civilians to make political points. (protests, demonstrations, even the rare small and purposeful riot)
