Biography

Early Life

---

Arthur Brandon Wellerman III was born the only child of Robert Richard and Stephanie Jasmine Wellerman on the 9th of July, 790 A.S. The Wellerman family name is a derivative of the massive Weller trade, investment, and business family. Wellerman is used for branch families not included along the main family's inheritance or business, branding them as lesser, and generally leaving them outside the main family's support network. Being made to understand this from a young age, Arthur took the lack of Weller family support as more of a guarantee of little-to-no Weller family interference in his life. His education through high-school carried the weight of a free man with an undecided future.

Military Service

---

Arthur began his enlistment in the Armed Forces at the age of 19, not long after tensions from the Colony War had begun to die down. In his own words, his gambit was "to get in, serve for a while, get payed, move on to better things." He passed several standardized tests with flying colors, and when he was first sent out to patrol Omega-3, successfully guided his patrol from a Red Hessian ambush, save two who were lost upon first contact, and secured reinforcements. Several other distinguishments would see him eventually elevated to the position of Captain of the HMS-Mary Ellen Carter. In early 814, war breaks out between Bretonia and Kusari, marking the beginning of what would end up being a never-ending deployment for Arthur.

Serving as a part of the Battleship Derby's battlegroup for the defense of Leeds against Kusari, Arthur and the Mary Ellen Carter would see little but Leeds and the Taus for the remainder of his service. During the Battle of New London, the Mary Ellen Carter received critical damage in the effort to redirect a Valor Battleship Warwolf round away from an allied Battleship. This action, while hailed as a selfless act of sacrifice from both Arthur and the crew, led to the honorable discharge of the surviving crew of the Mary Ellen Carter.

Post-Military

---

Directly following the end of the Gallic War, Arthur was mandated for psychotherapy for post-traumatic stress disorder. While he completed a full year of therapy, he was often noted as being resistant to treatment methods. Following this brief rest period, Arthur took up captaining a BowEx transport by the name of The Milkmaid. Several successful deliveries and crisis managements were noted, including one where the entire crew was taken hostage by a Ranseur in the Cortez system. Through quick wit, and a firm adherence to honor and gentlemen's agreements, Arthur successfully secured the release of the full crew. His only statement on the matter was "I did not lose another crew."

With The Milkmaid's destruction, Arthur chose to move on to a solitary life as a researcher for Planetform. Upon separation, BowEx security teams gifted him with a set of MELES turrets for mounting on a freighter. With critically important weaponry, and being a former Armed Forces captain, Arthur was selected to be offered a chance at the █████████ ██████████████ Project. The Intelligence Service and Armed Forces monitored him closely, after which a deal was struck with Planetform to contract him as an independent researcher. As crew on his research freighter, Arthur agreed as per the outline of the project to take in and act as warden for multiple of Bretonias least-risk criminals with life-imprisonment sentences.

After being granted an honorary degree from the University of Cambridge, the penitentiary ship was named The Wellerman in honor of it's new captain, and sent into Planetform's employ. No mutinies have been attempted, one escapee has been recorded. █████████ ██████████████ Project records an 80% success rate.
