Lorth Blissex

Lorth Blissex is the leader of the principal Kuat Drive Yards starship design team.

History
Born on Belderone, Lorth grew up watching Kuat-made ships soar away from the construction facilities. Such massive designs inspired him beyond measure – he would purchase the full variety of KDY product toy models, assembling them and lining his room shelves with them. As he grew older, it evolved into staring at schematics, trying to design his own ships, spending his school life doing so.

Graduating from college with a degree in engineering, he applied to Kuat Drive Yards, who picked him up thanks to his tutelage and birthplace on a KDY world. Lorth's passion for ship design help propel him up through the ranks, picking up more and more knowledge as he went along. After confidentially presenting his Excidium-class design to then-shipyard administrator Aerena Kadnessi, she saw merit in his work and convinced the KDY board to place him in the lead design team, which he eventually rose to head after the Excidium-class was approved for production.

Personality
Unlike corporate executives, Lorth is mostly unaware of just how cutthroat of a company Kuat Drive Yards is, content to stay in his office designing. He is a fairly honest man, devoted to his wife, and in love with his work. Having worked with KDY for little over 10 years, his experience with the company is deep, if only with the shipbuilding part of it.

He enjoys an alliance with Kuat Drive Yards Principal Director Magus Kuat.
