Aldrith Ter'neth Shutaq (Newelle) is a prominent Amarr loyalist capsuleer, currently in service to the famous Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris. He is renowned as the single best combat pilot in the Praetoria's history, as well as for being personally charismatic and affluent, making him popular among capsuleer fandoms across the cluster. He has recently become ennobled to the Sarum Family alongside his wife, Mitara Newelle, further increasing his fame and prominence, if only by proxy. His liberal views and few questionable episodes in his post-capsuleer life garner him a mixed reputation in the Empire, though thus far the public and nobility have paid little attention to him politically, taking more notice of his longstanding service and other traits.

Early Life

Aldrith was born on Mishi IV, the Ni-Kunni homeworld, to Tosonit and Chalna Shutaq. A secure and established middle-class family in the wealthy and comfortable southern city of Ny'Stetoh, Aldrith enjoyed a privileged life compared to many Ni-Kunni in the cluster. His father, a trader who had just bought his own Sigil-class hauler two years prior to Aldrith's birth, made a living by making trade runs to the State and Federation. Despite the dangers of navigating the low-security space lanes of Aridia and the difficulties of dealing with the Amarr Trade Registry, Tosonit proved to be a canny captain and provided well for his new family. Nevertheless, the majority of his profits went towards the payments for his ship and crew, keeping them from breaking into real wealth. This also did mean that he was often absent from the household for months at a time, minimizing his role in Aldrith's early upbringing.

Chalna was a professional wind-dancer with Ny'Stetoh's prominent Karhikez Sandstorm troupe, but dropped out for several years after Aldrith was born to care for him. Though most of the parenting duties fell to her while Tosonit was away, she did resolve to return to her art when Aldrith was of a certain age and her husband could spend less time with his business. The couple decided early that, unlike most Ni-Kunni, they would not expand their family due to the burdens on time both parents experienced from their professional lives. While unorthodox, it was not unheard of, and they left the possibility of having more children to a time when they could be more comfortable.

Pre-Capsuleer History

Once court poet and author in the service of the Etranhi Holders on Mishi IV, he resigned from service after his second independent work under their patronage was refused publication rights by Amarrian censorship boards. He then begrudgingly scraped his way through Hedion University's business school on his father's behest.
