Once an imperial slave who's freedom was bought by Aisling Duval.

He will forever be grateful to her for his freedom, but, he carries a deep hatred of the Empire for what they did to him to make him into their pleasure slave. The abuse! No love for the Federation either! Bunch of war mongering Marxists as far as he is concerned! Disillusioned with Aisling. "She aint pretty, she just looks that way.." Stillgar set off for Alliance space. A new space a new life. But is the grass really any greener on the other side? He carved out a cosy home in Bokowatico, but, all is not rainbows and unicorns.

Torn by dilemma.. Just as he was about to sign up to the Alliance and take the pledge... 2nd thoughts. The Alliance seems so dis-organised! How has Mahon managed to get so powerful? Obviously he IS the alliance.. who can replace him? But Aisling.. he OWES her.. he promised! Besides she said he could have the prismatic shields too! If he would just serve her.. once again.
