I am active on both Star Wars: The Old Republic and Star Trek Online and take an active part in roleplay. I have had experience in the past with dealing with wikia and administration so send me a message on my wall if you need anything at all.

Regards,

Venables was originally born in Scotland in the mid 18th century and was a soldier and officer in the British Army before being made immortal in mysterious circumstances. Beginning his new life as a Starfleet officer, He was awoken, given a briefing and then sent to Starfleet academy, where he studied as a tactical officer and began his career on the USS Apache, under Captain Taggart. He proved himself well against the Klingons and Borg during the Klingon War of 2409 and was promoted to Lieutenant Commander and placed in Command of the USS Retribution-B, an heavily modified and refitted Constitution Class cruiser with the serial number of NCC-991996-B.

With the Retribution he quietly served alongside the Phanton Guardian Fleet of the Alpha Quadrant. It was during this time that he tried to communicate with his wife Raven, who he hadn't seen since the 20th century.

He eventually went on to command the Retribution-D, a Galaxy Class cruiser which had been modified heavily with better weapons and warp core capabilities. It was during this time the First Order was originally founded in the 25th century.

"There are two things I enjoy in life, namely pipeweed and the comforts of the Prancing Pony."

Born and raised in Dol Amroth. Ibram Venables is the eldest son of the Steward of Tolfalas. He grew up alongside the young Prince Imrahil, due to the fact his family were of the upper nobility of the fair city. Ibram was born for a life of military exploits and bravery and he did so, serving the Steward of Gondor faithfully from a young age, even travelling North to the Breelands with Boromir to Rivendell. He worked tirelessly with the Rangers of the North to fight the Dark Lord's servants in the North.
