He's famous - well, infamous - for recruiting staff based on looks, but most of them have gone on to distinguish themselves in the gossip-filled world of Federation politics. Nearly all of his staff made it up to the Remnant fleet, and though he's an avowed atheist, Vanar privately thanked whatever gods might be listening that his people had been spared. Vanar's a very good one-on-one handshaker, a fairly competent speechwriter and orator, and absolutely terrible at populist crowd-pleasing he's avoided it like the plague. With a keen eye for management and a very competent team of accountants and VIs to check the books, the dreaded "Vanar checkup" and subsequent recommendation or public disdain can make or break a small business. Though Vanar comes from old money, he's successfully struck out and made his name independent of his family: at Copernicium Inc, (named after one of the exotic elements used in an FTL drive) he preferred to be called simply "Ethan." Since taking office he's banked frequently on his family's name, but he's also been known for his bankrolling and sponsorships of promising startup businesses. He's technically married to a scion of the powerful Rothfuss family, but it's been a loveless marriage that both husband and wife have kept up out of filial piety. Though the gossip rags have frequently buzzed about his affairs, both Vanar and his "extracurricular liaisons" have been fairly discreet. Senator Ethan Vanar learned to like his new title, along with the other perks that came with the job: political power, social status, and the pretty young aides didn't hurt a bit. He practically phoned-in the initial campaign and coasted on the strength of his family's name, and Ethan was as surprised as anyone else when he found himself one of seven Senators from Earth to the Terran Federation. Though he loves his family, his father's overbearing influence and frequent requests from his other relatives finally caused Vanar to run for his father's vacant Senate seat. Though Admiral Jane Vanar had distinguished herself in the peacekeeping actions over Mars, Ethan Vanar gravitated more towards civil and industrial administration.įounding a start-up FTL "implementation" company, which specialized in refitting ships and tweaking systems to handle FTL drives, Ethan Vanar quickly amassed his own fortune independent of the family.

Sent to elite academies and taught under many private tutors, Vanar quickly picked up on his family's usual career of Federation politics.
