[b]Full Name:[/b] [b][u]Aliss Armana[/u][/b]

[b]Alias:[/b] "White King"

[b]Rank:[/b] Freelance Cour'tesa

[b]Occupation:[/b] Cour'tesa

[b]Prior Service:[/b] Cour'tesa Guild, F.I.A. (Federation Intelligence Agency [under contract] ), Santeres Prime Household Guard (Under Contract)

[b]Credentials:[/b]
- [i]Love, remind me to tell you about the time I foiled no less than three assassination attempts against Overlord Corvanis of Santeres Prime by the Black Hand Syndicate. Their grenade landing right back in their vehicle's window was precious and one of my best moments![/i]

- [i]I was banished from Govarri's moon for protecting CEO Karshalal of the Diamond Industrial Bank- not because I failed, but because his rivals decided it would be cheaper to buy the bank after their assassins never made it back. Apparently they made the mistake of paying up front for services rendered.[/i]

- [i]Remember that "Gas Leak" on the Luna Secundus Satellite Colony over Terra? Yeah, it turns out there had been an illegal AI developed by the Governor General to create a more efficient bureaucracy. An awakened computer took control of the colony and promptly began massacring the entire populace. I got the Governor out just as the Colony was blasted into the black by the Federation navy.[/i]

- [i]Last month I performed emergency first aid on Captain Rojers Black of the freelance battleship [i]Indomitable[/i] after he took multiple kinetic rounds to the sternum from partisans of Titan. Not to brag, but I likely saved Cpt. Rojer's life and prevented the outbreak of a Third Privateer War in the process.[/i]

[b]Comment:[/b] The Cour'tesa among the Govarri are viewed as a combination of socialites, spies, and bodyguards for hire. Unfortunately, most of the galaxy assumes they are airheaded hookers rather than the cultured assistants and intelligence agents they are trained to be. This is largely due to mis-characterization by Federation media, and is (secretly) supported by the Cour'tesa Guild in a disinformation campaign. Cour'tesa receive rudimentary training in First Aid and weaponry, but no more than an average soldier in the Federation.

Usually hired by very paranoid planetary dictators around the Govarri system as increased security measures, or freelancing with other intelligence agencies or pirate operations, Cour'tesa are given free reign to work for any agency or government- even those that work against Govarri.

Aliss has worked as a bodyguard for ruthless dictators and idealistic heads of state. Cour'tesa can work as professional suit-and-tie Secret Service guards, or go so far as sleeping in the same bed as their charges to ensure their safety around the clock.

The Govarri have grown rich off of the Guild's services to the dozens of planetary dictators that surround their system, and the Guild ensures that this "wild west" of planets is kept in flux at all times, preventing local threats from escalating to endanger their planet and ensuring any move by the Federation to occupy the worlds would be costly in both blood and treasure.
