Gil Colin Graham

I am Gil Colin Graham. I have slain legends. And you think that you can destroy my fleet, in Arcadia's airspace? MY HOME COUNTRY? You will die here and I will have my men celebrate your destruction on your rotting wreckage! Estellion Sky Empire! You will die here! - Speech during Imperial Year 9989, before fighting the main Estellion Forces that were sent to Arcadia.

Gil Colin Graham is the fourth Fleet Admiral in history.

Background
He was born in a small town to a pair of shop owners. He was told stories of his ancestor, Isaac Colin Graham, of his exploits during the Skylord Era. He joined the Air Marines and did well. He received his first command on an Interceptor Class Airship. He received leave to return home and take up defense positions there, as Sky Pirates had been spotted in the area. He received reports of a pirate attack on his own home. He put on full speed and arrived in time to kill Cran Delor III, but not in time to save most of the inhabitants, including his parents. He learned that a second Sky Pirate Captain, Rafael the Slayer had taken a part.

He returned to Cran Delor's corpse and took his famous Diamond Sword as his own. He then swore on it that what happened to his family would never happen to Arcadia while he had the strength.

He was reeled in, eventually by the Arcadian command structure. They realized that a man so dedicated to the protection of the Arcadian people, is a truly valuable commander. They promoted him, and gave him more ships to command. This turned out to be just in time, as several pirate crews had banded together to fight this dangerous opponent. He won time and time again, until, like under Shane Revelin, the major and wiser Sky Pirates began to avoid Arcadia. Gil then demonstrated excellence in strategy and fleet supply control. The Mystro began looking favorably upon him, if not for his ability, then for his second in command, a cousin, Mortan Delphine.

After Admiral Tim Werrin attempts to start a war by attacking a Sabbatholm diplomat, Vlad Omeran in secret. The diplomat escaped, and, realizing through the manipulations of the Admiral's rival, that the Admiral acted alone. He was able to reach then Rear Admiral Graham. Graham and Mortan use their influence to get him to the Mystro. This causes Tim Werrin's downfall, and with that, Graham's rise above Rear Admiral was assured.

Later, he was assigned as an adjunct to the Exile as a Vice Admiral.

Romance on the Exile
During his tenure on the Exile, he understood that he must make himself presentable, or it was likely he would make too many enemies among the officers. Indeed, already, Grand Admiral Nanri Altair had no love for the upstart. Often, Graham found himself doing
