Essendor

Capal Essendor was the founder of the Imperium Argentum (the Fourth Silver Empire) and one of the original players on the server.

As well as for creating the IA, Essendor is quite infamous for his hard to sink merchantman model called the "Beluga" for its resemblance to a whale.

Essendor was conscripted into the Silver Empire early on in the server's days. He was surrounded by warships and forced to join the SE. Despite this, he eventually worked his way up to Director, at which point the Trade War took place. Tired of Capal Crow's war antics,and in search of a peaceful environment in which to trade, he, Spedius, and most members of the Last of the Imperium broke off into the IA.

Essendor served as the first and third High Capal of the Fourth Silver Empire:

First Term: 1 Secamon, 760 - 17 Persumon, 760

Second Term: 22 Kiafamon, 760 - 21 Secamon, 761

Shortly after the Reclamation of Verace on 20 Septemon, 761 Capal Essendor went missing, his body never being found. Officially, the disappearance was ruled a suicide, although many believe he was assassinated by agents acting for Crow, seeking revenge for the coup against him the year prior. Reports of his ghost haunting the Curia have morphed over the years into bedtime stories for naughty Imperial children, but have been suppressed as Essendor's dedication to a democratic Empire has been seen as a threat to the current Imperial court.
