[[Image:Christoph_1.jpg|thumb|right|Christoph Tierny]]
Christoph Tierny was born on Nova Sparta in it's slow decline,
into the sect of the Covenant of the Purifying Blaze. CoPB believed
very strongly in predestination.  In many parts of the Church,
the belief in predestination drives the believe to live in the now,
without thought for the future. CoPB uses it as an excuse for all
manner of craziness.  "It was my fate to beat you." "If it was my fate
to have a job, I would have one."  Christoph hated it.  When his
Bright Mark started flaring, his parents beat him and then sent him
off to the Psychologists Foundation for his teenage years.  The
experience was liberating, and Christoph made plans to spend his life
as a psychologist.

It was not to be; in the declining economy he couldn't make a living
as a Psychologist.  When his first wife left him, he gave up and
started making a meager living as a journalist.  The contacts he made
let him get into business.  Christoph found that his Psychology gave
him a natural advantage, and quickly built a trading fleet. The fleet
was mostly off-world when the Vaylen struck in 580.  It was Tierny's
ships that first brought relief supplies to th planet, much of which
was paid for by Tierny himself. The supplies weren't in time to save
Tierny's second wife.

Christoph was elevated to the BoD when the new Board was formed.  His
areas are HR and IT, both infrastructure cost centers.  He has been
having a very frustrating last few years.  Any investment he tries to
make is cut off, with only the bare support allowed.  Tierny doesn't
know about the League plans for the planet, although he is starting
to wonder where all the money is going.

As HR head, Christoph is responsible for all outside contractors.  In
particular, he is responsible for working with and reviewing the
military units. This is how he knows Murphid and Yordanova.

=Montmorency=
[[Image:Montemorency_1.jpg|thumb|right|Montmorency]]
Montmorency was born a minor princess of the League, and sent to the
Psychology Council to hone her skills.  When she graduated she did
not become a Psychologist but instead got passage to Gonzagin Empire
as a Companion. Her particular patron also trained her in the Close
Combat.  Companion / Bodyguards amused him. The Baron eventually tired
of her and Montmorency then found work as a Ravilar.  Unfortunately,
she found out the wrong secrets about the wrong people and had to get
out of the empire, fast.  She wound up back at home in Nova Sparta,
losing herself in the general chaos after the attack.  Cristoph
gave her a chance because of her Psychologist background, and she has
been working for him ever since.
