Edward Arthur Halsey was born on Cambridge as the only son of Lord Benjamin Halsey and Lady Cicely Livington. After graduating from school he took interest in physics, went to Cambridge university where he finished his studies withing the shortest possible time, and graduated with the title Doctor of Sciences (Dr.Sc.) in astrophysics and astronomical phenomenons. Soon after that he realized that the possibilities of the university were limited, and that he would only be able to research space phenomenons in real, outside of the university?s borders. Apparently his father had little understanding why his son should leave a well-paid university job for being an adventurer in open and dangerous space, so he persuaded young Edward to enlist for the Bretonian Armed Forces. At least his son wouldn?t be alone out there.

After years and years of military services in faraway Sirius sectors, Edward managed to return to Cambridge with enough scientific material for another great work, only to be promoted to "Professor" at the University of Cambridge for his studies, therefore resigning from the Bretonian Armed Forces. Between his tutorial lessons to young students in the university, he travelled through Sirius in an old Spatial he bought from his father?s friend, in search for astronomical phenomenons.

This time of university service was only interrupted by the Nomad War (799-802 A.S.), in which he returned to the Bretonian Armed Forces to protect his homeland from invading Rheinland ships. Reaching the military rank of Commodore after the war, he returned once again to Cambridge.

If it hadn't been for the Kusari, he would still have remained there. After the major call to arms he rejoined the Bretonian Armed Forces, this time being assigned to a Bretonian Destroyer, where he patrols bretonian space for Pirates and Kusari ships up to the very moment.


Personal Message from Commodore Halsey :
"Men and women from Bretonia, with great consternation we face the new dark clouds of war rise on the horizon. But nevertheless Bretonia shall rise from the dark, and our enemies shalt never set their foot on holy grounds again. Remember, whenever you seem to be in trouble or being besieged by foul and reckless highwaymen, don't hesitate to inform us, to assist you by any means necessary!"
