Background:

Gregoros La Belle was on on Alpha Centuri to a family that's past was of British, Belgium, and Italian origin. He grew up as an only child to a father that Sold FTL engines, and a mother who was an accountant. Gregoros had applied at age 18 to join the Mars University to study History and Lynguistics. In 2832 The Terran Union formed against alien attacks, and Gregoros had to undergo compulsory military training to prepare for the war against the Ley'Torians.

2 Months before Gregoros 21st Birthday, he was sent off to Alpha Mensae, which is part of the Ley'Torians Territory. There they landed on the Dinja World and formed a human base, which helped to attack in the wars against the Ley'Torians over the years. In 2835, The battle of Alpha Mensae IV, Gregoros' ship took a beating a crashed in the mountains of Southern Ositano. Gregoros could not find any superiors alive, and fled the scene. Gregoros went under the Terran Union Defensive Force as MIA.

Gregoros traveled west as far away from the Human Occupation at Kalmania. Gregoros had had enough of the war with the Ley'Torians, it was something he did not want to sign up to in the first place. Eventually Gregoros reached a major capital in the area called Zanezza. First Gregoros was avoided in the streets of Zenazza, his hair giving away himself as not being around from the area, and his unability to speak the native tongue. He slept on the street homeless, and looking for a new leash on life.

Eventually someone gave him that new leash, and gave him a home. The duaghter of a Baker and Seamtress let Gregoros stay at their place, the father disagreed, and wanted to throw Gregoros out, but in the end, the mother said to give him a try. They were marked as a disgrace among the townsfolk for showing compassionn to a human. Gregoros had been on the streets begging for anything he could get, or tried to sell whatever he had as trade ins, no one would talk to him or deal with him. Once recovered, he tried to find a job, communication with the young girl Hunia was hard, but she helped him look for a job. Eventually Gregoros worked for the father as a Baker for the first two years, when he had finally become proefficent int he native tongue, people began to accept him as one of them, and later on became a barista in the local suburb of Zanezza.

Later onwards Gregoros success as a Barista meant he left Zanezza and opened his own cafe up at Żukin at the harbour front called "Gregoros". Still today the cafe exists and is known to be one of the best coffeehouses on the planet.

By 2840 the war had ended, yet the Superiors that had acted out on behalf of the Terran Union stayed on Dinja raping it for its precious resources, and continued to occupy Dinja, expanding their territory.In 2843 Gregoros had turned 31 and by Llombardin law he was forced to marry someone, in the 4 months initation he eventually did marry and signed the certificate as Gragga Vienka, his wife being the young girl that helped him; Hunia Maia dau Okindeġi. From 2843 he was officially known as Gragga Vienka. In 2846 The Human Occupation under the Terran Union Separist had reached Baiona and a poised a threat to citizens in Lombardin, Gragga Vienka who was now part of the community realized the potential threat the TUS posed, and the whole of Lombardin created a resistance movement known as La Lombard Erresistentzia.

Gragga Vienka was appointed in 2847 when Terran Uninon troops had reached the Lombard highlands as a general of the Lombard resistence. For 8 years Gragga Vienka and the Lombardins were in armed conflict with the Terrans. the TUS outnumbered them 10 to 1 yet by 2355 Terran Separatists attacks began dying, and the volume was lowering, the hearsay was the terran union was retreating, and focusing on raising a human colony among the Dinjan female in the occupation zone to gain control of the entire Dinja. For the next 5 years Gragga and the leaders of the resistence began training everyone possible for the inevitable battle.

2861 and the Battle for Benazzio happened, which initiated the Terran Union-Dinja war. by 2865 the Terran Union separatist had dwindled down to a mere 4,500 and had retreated all the way back to kalmania.

In 2367, The Terran Union Separatist signed a peace treaty with Gragga Vienka, and were forced off the homeworld to return back to the Solarian system. Gragga Vienka among many other Dinjans meet up at Żukin for a conference meeting, and on the 5th day of Monai, The Confederation of Dinja(La Konfederazio de Dinja) was formed. Gragga Vienka though human was elected to be the first federal chancellor(Federal Kantżelari) of The Confederation of Dinja. Gragga Vienka was Chancellor for 9 years stepping down from his position to be Vice-Chancellor for 4 more years.

Gragga stepped down, and was given a special honorary title called Babesgarri de Dinjan. However despite the honorary title he became consul of the Lombardin area, and when he wanted to retire, the Dinjans persuaded him to be a co-consul of Lombardin which he agreed too. Today Gragga Vienka has been given tribute to contribution to the Dinjan future. The lakes on Babbażarros are named after him, there is a golden statue in the gardens of Vloriana in Valletta. There is even a golden statue of him found in the lobby of Senios de Żukin, and another Brass one of him in the Korovortka & a shalwar in a preaching stance at the lobby of the seat of Dinja Parliment in Koro. There is a hall also subsectioned in the Seat of Dinja Parliment dedicated to him with the famous Gragga Vienka cloak, his attire, blades, and his journals etc.

Gragga Vienka died at age 92.

We definitely need more of these write-ups. Too often we want to create the grand ideas....the species and empires and such, but forget the smaller submissions like individuals. Awesome.

The whole idea of this character, is soomeone who never wanted to be apart of the ley'Torian human war. Alpha Mensae system was occupied and raped of its resources during the time, and officers were stationed here as a tactical reason, with this the Terran Union was in the borders of the Ley'Torian Republic. Raids were done on any Ley'Torian trade ships, and as they progressed to 70 Virginis, a trading embargo was put in place, stopping ley'torians home system, and systems within its proximity in getting necessary resources in building their warships.

However once the war subsided, and was considered over, the Terran Union superiors were too corrupt by their power, and could not face the idea of going back to an ordinary life, and decided to stay and rape Dinja. Gregoros was a deserter, but a hero to the people of the planet.

I personally feel this adds more depth to the human/ley'torian war.

This sheds a lot of light on the war.

I think we should get together at some point, and extrapolate from this what else happened before, during, and after the war.
