Possessing a high opinion of himself from his youth- to the point that he sometimes wondered how his parents had him-, Judd’s intellect earned him a place in the accelerated learning scheme in junior school. Although physically short, an encounter with a bully inspired Judd to train in hand-to-hand combat, his later victory over the bully in a rematch increasing his high opinion of himself.

Although physically short, an encounter with a bully inspired Judd to train in hand-to-hand combat, his later victory over the bully in a rematch increasing his high opinion of himself. By the time he graduated, Judd was already convinced that Zalcassor’s rulers were his intellectual inferiors, and, certain that he would never achieve his ‘destiny’ by working up the corporate ladder, he enroled in the military after studying past leaders despite the current period of peace. Quickly making an impression on his training instructor when he defeated the other man in a long fight, Judd passed basic training at the top of his muster, gaining rapid promotion due to the comparatively laid-back military officers currently active while subtly blackmailing upper-class soldiers serving because it was expected of them as he gathered the more capable officers to him. | ||
Judd eventually gained the opportunity to make himself a public figure when a colony on Deltor 5, a habitable moon on a gas giant in Zalcassor’s system, deposed its ruler and declared independence. With Judd having made a significant impression due to his habit of leading from the front and retaining his control in combat, he was the obvious choice to lead the army to regain control, simultaneously falsifying documents to suggest that the rebels had been more dangerous than they were. Winning the subsequent election to the post of World President by standing as the Military Party candidate, Judd set up a highly efficient anti-crime campaign that allowed him to divert more funding into the military, dismissing the multi-party system as inefficient after his second election while modifying the educational system to encourage his own views on the universe around him. With their lives slightly lacking in some freedoms but otherwise more secure than they had been, the people were increasingly willing to accept Judd, his reputation increasing when he provided himself with an enemy by manipulating the present social situation so that the rebellious elements on Gadron- a nearby planet with no strong ties to anyone else- appeared to be gaining strength while the general population suffered, beginning Judd’s efforts to bring the universe together under his ‘Protectorate’. | Judd eventually gained the opportunity to make himself a public figure when a colony on Deltor 5, a habitable moon on a gas giant in Zalcassor’s system, deposed its ruler and declared independence.
