Hugo Gamaliel was a 24th century hero.
Biography
Hugo Gamaliel lived in the 24th century and exposed the existence of the Knights of Jeneve. He broke away from Earth's control, garnered a huge following and established a small power base in a series of campaigns against the planet. He appeared to win his first major victory in the Battle of Bocaro, but the Knights actually feigned defeat so they could return to the shadows and trick Gamaliel into taking possession of what became known as the Gamalian Dragon.
Gamaliel lost his right hand man Henri in a minor skirmish after the battle and had him buried with the Dragon of Jeneve, bestowing him with various posthumous honours. He also accepted the offer of a captured Knight to serve as librarian of his archive in return for his life being spared. Gamaliel went on to rule a significant area of space, took control of Stanturus Three and rarely spent much time at the Castle of Ice and Fire built for him on Tharn because of his campaigns.
The Knights of Jeneve disseminated a number of lies about Gamaliel in the hopes of tarnishing his legacy so he would cease to be seen as a hero of the people. This included that he was chairman and chief executive of BrokTek, a company specialising in sleazy virtual reality and bio-experiential games. He and his descendants managed to suppress and deny most of it, however. (PROSE: Dragons' Wrath [+]Loading...["Dragons' Wrath (novel)"])
Legacy
Gamaliel's successors lost most of the territory that he gained in a series of wars. His descendants, the Nuseks, ruled Tharn and maintained the Castle of Ice and Fire, where the Gamalian Dragon was kept, as it was in his time.
Gamaliel was remembered as a Robin Hood-like figure by many despite the Knights of Jeneve's attempts to ruin his reputation. When his descendant Romolo Nusek took an interest in him, Moxon Reddik encouraged this by removing literature critical of him from the archives.
Nusek sought to expand his power by forging evidence that Gamaliel had taken control of Stanturus Three, unaware that actual proof existed. Bernice Summerfield and Nicholas Clyde ruined Gamaliel's reputation with the Knights' lies at the Stanturan Inquiry, with Benny unaware that they were untrue.
