History:

Marquis Henri de Lyons LXXXVIII is immaculate in appearance. Not that he is handsome fellow, capable of causing sighs and gasps among the womenfolk whenever he appears. Henri just takes pride in his appearance. His wavy blonde hair sweeps back from his forehead in locks that barely move an inch in a wind storm. His face lacks any wrinkles, his skin is as smooth as highly polished marble, and his teeth whiter than snow.

Henri enjoyed a portion of his youth visiting elite parties and meeting many members of the nobility. He wasn't very productive during this time. Henri just loved to gossip, eat, gossip some more, and do some shmoozing along the way. Henri, however at some point during this time, decided to get involved in politics and so became a diplomat.

Henri did very well as a diplomat and quickly rose through the ranks. In his second term, however, Henri had an accident. No one knows what really happened, but rumors suggest that Henri's office somehow came into possession of a rare and illegal food called Pootlimpet. Pootlimpet causes uncontrollable flatulence in some pets, whose side effects induce mild hallucinogens. Pootlimpet became a highly sought after drug among some circles after it was outlawed when someone died due to inadequate ventilation. According to rumor, Henri decided to try to trade this food to some unknown circle for some unknown commodity and foolishly tried to do it in person. In the midst of the transaction at the storage location, a law enforcement vehicle turned the corner and started to advance on Henri and his contact. Henri immediately panicked and looked for an escape while his contact ran off. He decided that the garbage bin was an excellent place to hide and dove head first, only to discover that it was empty. His knee smashed and shattered on the bottom of the bin as he landed. Luckily for Henri, the police vehicle drove past without stopping and he found a phone to call for a transport to the hospital.

Henri de Lyons had quite a shock in his last term in office. He was invited to a banquet by his boss to celebrate the 60th birthday of the Pikushlu ambassador. It was a splendid affair, and Henri thought of himself as the shining exemplar of high society. Infused with this confidence in himself and the night, he decided to go and discuss the weather with the ambassador. As he reached out his hand for greeting, a shot fired off and barely missed Henri and the ambassador. The assailant was caught but then immediately committed suicide. The media the next day headlined that there was an attempt on the ambassador, but Henri knows the real truth. Obviously the attempt was on him.

Now, Henri just wants to get out of the political business. This assasination failed, but the next one might not. Besides that, Henri was getting bored. So he resigned from his office. The future is uncertain, but Henri is certain that it won't be boring.

Goals:
Henri is currently just hoping to see a little of the galaxy, maybe not get assassinated. Henri is always on the look out for quick money and good deals. He also has a goal of trying to eat the best food in every sector and planet and stay in the best accomodations.
