Consul Torvek
Consul Torvek
Species: Morathi | Role: Diplomatic Leader
Amphibian diplomat representing the Outer Colonies Collective. Believes in negotiation, coalition-building, and the radical idea that change can happen without burning everything down.
Background
The Outer Colonies have always existed at the Confederation’s margins—exploited for resources, ignored in policy, abandoned in crisis. Consul Torvek represents their collective voice, fighting for recognition through diplomacy rather than violence.
He believes in building coalitions, finding common ground, and achieving change through patient negotiation. In a galaxy sliding toward war, that makes him either the voice of reason or hopelessly naive. Perhaps both.

- Formal robes - Diplomatic dress of the Outer Colonies

Personality
Patient, principled, and persistently optimistic. Torvek has spent decades in rooms where nobody wanted to listen, and he’s still talking. He believes in the power of words, of agreements, of finding the solution that lets everyone walk away.
But he’s not naive. He understands violence. He simply believes it should be the last resort, not the first.
