Tallus Hardin

Tallus Hardin
"The SLP membership ratings are too damn high!"

Representative Hardin is the Alsakan Representatives for the Defender Party, and one of it's leaders.

History
Tallus was not born on Alsakan. Instead he was born into the slums of an Outer Rim planet that had adopted values of a Socialist tendency, and had since fallen into poverty. A travelling Alsakan diplomat saw the boy, and took pity. Adopting him, he made him his surrogate son, enrolling him in the finest political universities money could buy. Graduating with a degree in politics, and another in economics, he swiftly ran for the position of the Senator of Xenvaer in the Planetary Senate. His upbringing, as well as his patriotism earned him the rank quickly. He served faithfully for four years, before being elected as their Planetary Senator. Serving in this position for an additional fifteen years, he then ceded the position, becoming their Representative to the Defenders. He quickly became one of their most influential members, along with Emyr Vraas.

Personality
He is usually of the bombastic sort, aiming for strong delivery of his speeches. He is often gruff, but can be endearing to his friends and family. His works in philosophy, as well as his political writings are lauded for their analytical and unique perspectives, showcasing his intelligence in political matters. He is often described as "stubborn, old-fashioned, and damnably clever." He is a follower of the Tessent, but not as much as some of his fellows.
