I wanted to start a thread where we can post and share ideas of our best-created NPC personalities and villains in our Trav campaigns. Please *only* post your NPCs, Patrons and Villains here. Do not post Player Characters, there is already a thread for that.
I will start with one of my favorites!
----------------------------------
Commodore Tiberius Feng
Race: Solomani Human
Allegiance: Solomani Confederation
Navy Commodore 786BB(7) Age 52 8 Terms
Skills: Leadership-3, Administration-2, Ship Tactics-2, Fleet Tactics-1, Ships' Boat-1, Gunnery-1, Interrogation-1, Blade Combat-1 (Blade), Handgun-2, Vacc Suit-1, Pilot-1, Navigation-1, Engineering-1
Equipment: Blade, Snub Pistol, Reflec Armor
Commodore Feng is an unstable individual serving in the Solomani Confederation Navy. Although he commands a high rank within the Navy itself, Feng's own reputation has previously been tarnished due to past exploits.... mostly of his own doing. Feng's reputation preceeds him, as he has a reputation as a rabid pirate-hunter. In fact, the only reason the Confederation Navy has chosen to retain him in service is due to his efficiency and zeal in hunting down pirates and frontier bandits. It is his over-zealousness in chasing pirates that has gotten him in trouble in the past. On a few occasions, he has been known to chase corsairs all the way into the territory of Imperial or Aslan space. These events have nearly sparked border wars between the Confederation and its neighbors.
His social standing of 7 reflects his actual Solomani Party standing. Altho this standing is high as it is, his reputation is considered slightly tarnished within the Confederation military. His past exploits have cost him dearly within the Solomani social circles. His colleagues in the Navy are biding their time until Feng is expected to retire in a few years.
Commodore Feng's personal command ship is a Type SM 1000-ton Solomani Cruiser (see Alien Module 6 for details). The ship is fully armed on all of its 10 hardpoints. The Confederation Navy is hesitant to issue him a larger ship, afraid that Feng might use such a vessel to cause further trouble.
The Confederation Navy Cruiser Brandenburg has defeated almost every pirate corsair and pirate squadron it has ever engaged. The cruiser has a crew of around 22, including Feng and his bodyguards. Feng has rigged one of the ship's modular cutters to serve as an "escort fighter" in case of emergencies that require extra firepower. When the situation warrants it, Feng is able to summon additional ships (e.g. Solomani Close Escorts) as reinforcements, provided such vessels are available in the nearby system.
Feng's current assignment is overseeing and supervising border patrol and anti-piracy duties in the Solomani Rim and Magyar sectors.
NPC use: Feng is intended to be used as a Classic Traveller NPC/Villain in the Solomani regions. A good use for him would be as a villain or a "thorn on the side" for a Player Party adventuring in the sectors near the Solomani Rim. If Feng has reason to suspect that the Player Group has pirates, smugglers, or rogue elements among them... he will pursue and persecute the group with zeal.
However, Commodore Feng's judgement is easily clouded and his sense of ethics is questionable. An arrogant man who is always dressed meticulously in his dress uniform, he can sometimes be bribed or sweet-talked (the Player must have at least Bribery-3, Admin-3 or similar skill to even have a chance at negotiating with Feng).
Money is not all too important to Feng. He comes from a wealthy Solomani family of ethnic Chinese heritage; the Feng family is credited as the original Second Imperium settlers in the agricultural world of Zhongguo (Jardin/Solomani Rim). But anything that improves his political standing or reputation within the Confederation military will get his attention.
