Personal history

Deleho was the youngest and most powerless of his siblings, so was teased by them constantly. His brother, Tekai liked him a great deal more than his sisters, probably because he wasn't a threat to him. Deleho got on quite well with Etihia, the second youngest of the family.

As soon as he could, Deleho joined the military, with no rank boosting usually given to royals. He started at the bottom with everyone else, worked his way up, and made sure it was all his own success. He hated his parents, for treating him and people like him as lessers, and was determined to disprove it. Soon after joining a Pofgyt lords army, Deleho got sick of hearing the same old crap about him being a royal, and how he should be grateful for being born into such a powerful family. He transferred to a Tukmyrian regiment, where he discovered a love of engineering, and he was a natural at it. Deleho designed a few of the gliders that Eithia used early in her career as an air racer. Eventually he was shipped off to Rezakia to help out as a mechanic in the first world war. It was here that he started to gain anti-Imperial sentiment...
While he wasn't frantically patching up bullet holes, repairing tank engines, or refitting Benü legs, Deleho would spend much of his time in the nearby Rezakian city, enjoying the vastly different culture, dreaming up new vehicle designs or useful inventions. Some of the locals weren't too happy at their Mregian occupiers bringing the war upon their country, and there was still a remnant of the rebellion, which caused so much chaos and terror only a few short years ago. Deleho had gotten close to the locals. Friendly, even. They talked or debated about how Mregian rule had turned their country into a hellish place to live. Deleho wasn't in agreement at first, until he started seeing things he'd never have noticed had they not been pointed out. Mregian soldiers bullying locals for "protection money", harassing the local women, and generally treating the natives like savages. It wasn't only the low level soldiers mistreating the locals either. Commanders hadn't been setting a good example, usually holding the same backwards beliefs as their subordinates, leading to "justified" searches of homes, which lead to confiscation of weaponry, valuables, or food. If the locals tried to resist these unwarranted searches they were beaten for "disobeying the lordship".
Deleho soon turned around to the idea that perhaps the great Mregian Empire wasn't so great after all. He wanted to do something, but didn't have the rank to do anything. He tries to get like minded, honourable soldiers together so they can do something to cure the corruption of their regiment. There weren't many he could count on. Only one was interested in helping him; a Choset by the name of Zotam Agatti. He told Deleho of a group of locals that wanted to escape the war torn region, but needed help to do so. Zotam was not well known in the community, and couldn't find these locals, so he asked Deleho if he could find them, and set up a meeting, where Zotam would provide transport out of the country. Deleho agreed to this, and over the next week he got in contact with anti-Mregian insurgents that did indeed wish to get some of their people to a safer region. The meeting time and location was set, and Deleho was happy to finally be of some help healing relations with the locals. During the day before the meeting, he was knocked out and dragged into a van. When Deleho awoke, he was at the meeting place in the middle of the night. The locals were lined up against a wall. Finally he realised that Zotam had tricked him, and there was nothing he could do but watch as the helpless locals were gunned down.
Deleho was warned that if he didn't stop consorting with the locals, he'd join them in a mass grave. Distraught, Deleho returned to work. He was not deterred from helping them, in fact he was even more intent on it. Over the next few months he got in contact with the insurgents again, and gave them weaponry and information, preparing for a bloody uprising, and revenge against Zotam.
