Biography
Sent to Tiegang for his safety after spilling kumis over the skirts of Ghawetkiin Enkhjargal at a public feast. Beginning his education there in 1703 AN.
His weakness for alcohol, which an education with the School of the High Inquisitor did nothing to dispel, quite the opposite, saw him wake up, a week after his graduation, in a holding cell within the cantonments of the Blackfriars' Regimental Impressment Garrison. After realising that they had captured a Hurmudan lordling of the tribal sort, the recruiting officers of the Impressment Service prevailed upon him to purchase a commission as an ensign within the Regiment of the Blackfriars' so as to secure his release from the situation of close confinement in which he found himself.
In spite of this inauspicious start to a career, for which the cost of his purchase of rank was subsequently deducted from his pay, he would progress steadily through the ranks of the organisation.
Briefly hospitalised during 1720 AN for the treatment of an aggressive venereal disease contracted whilst deployed in the Suren Confederacy. He subsequently took convalescent leave in the Dark Berry Islands, from where he was deported in 1721 AN after reportedly making a number of deeply inappropriate advances towards members of the Council of Women, having been consequently obliged to seek shelter in the ESB East Bay Residency until his departure could be formalised.
Upon his return to duty he was transferred to the Regimental Impressment Service and attached to the Jade Lotus Harem Club where his duties would include the provision of security for the venue and the collection of suitable subjects, identified by the network of procuresses established by Mei Ling, for transfer to the processing and training sites operated by the establishment in neighbouring premises. At some point during 1726 AN, he entered into a relationship with Luciana Malfi, a disgraced former courtesan and one of the procuresses employed by Mei Ling, in spite of being fifteen years her junior in age. This relationship had ended by the time of his marriage in 1733 AN.
Although the marriage to Brigitte Fischer, a graduate of the Bothan Institute, was not blessed with particular intimacy, it nonetheless yielded a son, Khoga Tömörbaatar, born in the sixth month of 1742 AN and sent away to Constancia in 1749 AN for a rigourous Humanist education paid for by the N&H Future Leadership Programme.
He would ultimately resign his commission in the sixth month 1750 AN following the discovery of Luciana's mutilated remains in the Blackfriars district of Tiegang. The lethargy of the official investigation into the murder was a cause for considerable discontent on his part, leading to his taking the considerable risk of submitting a petition to the High Inquisitor of Tiegang. For his troubles he was in turn threatened with a formal investigation on account of his known acquaintance with the deceased.
