Brother Charles LeTain

Brother Charles LeTain (a.k.a. Char)

Brother Charles LeTain was a itinerant monk travelling from world to world in the Sargonian Empire during the second century after the Restructuring. He preached upon the value of serving the Emperor and destroying the empire's enemies through force of arms.
Brother Charles first appears in Sargonian records in the year 128 R.E. on planet Amicus. The Autarch of the planet had refused to send any of his citizens to fulfill the last two conscription requests the Emperor had made. This planetary ruler, who's name has been scrubbed from all data records, felt that the Empire was loosing to the Celestine forces and didn't want to throw away any more of his peoples lives. LeTain was a vibrant speaker and quickly rallied many followers to his cause. Speaking to the deep cultural biases in favor of self improvement by combat, and obligation to command structures, he quickly turned a rag-tag group of followers into a practical army. The Autarch was swiftly and brutally put to death, and the planet Amicus returned to the imperial fold. Brother Char continued this method of persuasion on several worlds for a few years, until he disapeared from the imperial record for a short time after the death of Emperor Amarud in 140 R.E.
After the death of Emperor Amarud, his three sons, Liem, Anzef, and Onders, each claimed to be the emperor. They each had about equal support from the other nobles, so war broke out between them. Eventually, in 149 R.E., Anzef defeated his brothers. This ended the Three Emperors Period. Shortly after Emperor Anzef became the undisputed Emperor of the Sargonian Empire, Brother LeTain returned to active preaching. He was very instrumental in reunifying the empire under the emperor's rule, and re-engaging the empire in the war with the Celestial Empire.
He was instrumental in keeping the Sargonian Empire at war with the Celestial Empire throughout his life. The circumstances of his death are mostly vague and contradictory. All that is known is that 151 R.E. was the year of his death. His name and deeds are still used to inspire common folk into greater deeds of military bravery, and to caution those that rule against the dangers of peace.
Rumors of the reappearance, or rebirth of Brother Charles occur every few generations. Often accompanied by violent uprisings on planets under the control of Autarchs of a more peaceful persuasion.
