Edward Harvard

Edward 'Ted' Harvard (born 12 January 3219)
 * Son of Hugo Harvard (3182-3298) and Victoria Marsh (3182-3296).
 * Real father of Jemine Caesar (b3273), born of Rebekka Darrell (b3219).

From 3237 to 3240 attended Eravate Central Academy of Drama & Performing Arts, where he met and fell in love with Rebekka Thorne. After graduating from the academy, Harvard soon realised he wouldn't make it in show business, and joined the Federal Navy for a few years. This was followed by odd jobs here and there, which took him into the Empire.

Harvard joined an Imperial security company in 3261, gaining a good reputation. On 18 July 3272 he was assigned to guard Harold Duval on a secret tour of a holostudio on Achenar, where he chanced to be reacquainted with Rebekka Thorne in her dressing room. A one-night-stand ensued, after which Harvard and Rebekka never saw each other again. Harvard's fortunes took a turn for the worse, and he eventually settled in the Koyans system. Now a sad and shabby man, Harvard was reduced to running a debt-ridden courier service and spending his little income on alcohol in The 'Emperor's Head' Bar on Bainbridge Dock.

On 23 October 3301, Harvard was visited by Jemine Caesar and her partner, Sam Hodkin, along with her good friend, Nathalie Hudson. During the meeting Harvard told Jemine that he was her real father. Harvard's debts were paid off by Hodkin. In return, Harvard agreed to give up drink and enrol at a clinic for recovering alcoholics. Harvard kept his word, and stayed in touch with his daughter through sporadic k-cast messages.

Harvard subsequently relocated to the Imperial system of Turir, and opened a small jewellery repair shop on Brooks Terminal. In early March 3302 he met and fell in love with Diadem Palerma. The couple became engaged on March 30th, and planned to marry sometime in 3303 after a sightseeing tour of the bubble.
