Here is a basic senechal build Gankom.
Player Name: Gankom
Character Name: Desmond Pyke
Home World: Canadiana (Imperial World)
Career Path: Senechal -Rank 1
Motivation: Prestige
Description: Desmond Pyke hails from the Imperial world of Canadiana. A moderately advanced world far out on the frontier’s of space, there was nothing there of interest to keep Desmond interested in staying. The rulers of Canadiana had no interest in the outside universe, unlike Desmond. The very thought of worlds he hadn’t seen and technology almost like magic ignited a wanderlust in him. So one day he boarded one of the few ships leaving the system and never looked back.
Fascinated by the Xeno and their technology. Desmond believes the mankind is a god amongst the stars, but to truly defeat the alien horror they need to be studied. Know Thy Enemy. Desmond Pyke is a quiet but confident man, who views violence as a last resort. There is no bigger waste of potential then a dead man. Alive, even as an enemy, they have so much more potential for profit…
Desmond’s motto has always been Gold, God and Glory. Although he’s never particularly worried about what order to acquire them in.
A wonder with machines Desmond has always had a knack for dealing with the various tech he’s encountered. This has come in handy during his work as his Lord’s Seneschal. In order to get the maximum profit, it’s important to make sure a machine works, or at least doesn’t explode. This is how he came to join the Lord Hasarrian's crew. Desmond has already made several journeys into the void of space and was serving as the quartermaster of some two-bit voidship. It was while attempting to negotiate a better trading rate with Captain Hasarrian that he showed off his skills, hoping to impress the Captain. Instead of a better trading rate he got a job offer. It was much further down the ladder of command then seneschal, but Desmond Pyke is ambitious and it wasn’t long before he was working his way up.
Motivation: Desmond is motivated primarily by the thought of gold and glory. His greatest dream is to live on in the legends of the Imperium. He has no interest in being a general or war leader, but the thought of discovering some long lost technology or way to defeat Xeno technology fuels his passion.
