Duke Fontaine Marik - thirty-second century's leader of the Duchy of Tamarind-Abbey in Free Worlds League.
History
Fontaine's is descendant of Therese Brett-Marik, daughter of Captain-General Janos Marik and one few people who would have strongest claims to throne of the Free Worlds League. He was married to Karli Marik until her death in 3134 and has no heirs. He was honorable man, with keen mind for politics and warfare. He unlike many of his counterparts in old League, is not actively expanding his claim to reunify the Free Worlds League.
Duke
In 3136, he allowed Christopher Halas-Hughes Marik ski his mountains and meet with him in person. When he met with him, Fontaine suspected he was relaying a message from his mother, Jessica Halas-Hughes Marik. Despite his initial thoughts of Christopher being reckless and perhaps foolish, Fontaine found that he was man of character, with him later becoming fond of Christopher with him acting as a mentor to the young man, though the influence went both ways as he picked up a few of Christopher's mannerisms. He told Christopher that he would back Jessica's claim to the throne only if she could tie her lineage to someone with Marik blood. By this action, he set the course of events that led Jessica to begin her plan to leave her husband to take Thaddeus Marik as her husband to win his support, deciding against her initial plan of marrying Thaddeus's younger brother, Frederick Marik.
In November of 3137, he met with envoy Trillian Steiner, where he angrily accused them of illegal and immoral war against his nation. On the 2nd, with the arrival of the Broken Swords battalion in orbit, he declared that peace talks were broken off and talks were fraud. He dispatched his defending First Tamarind Regulars Regiment to engage the Broken Swords and sent people to seize the Lyran Consulate.
League Unified
After the Free Worlds league was reunified, on 3146, Fontaine sent his forces to reclaim the Lyran planet of Bolan, with success.[4]
The next year, after the Marian Hegemony invaded Fontaine's Duchy, he asked for help to Atreus, but received none: the League's Captain-General, Nikol Halas-Hughes Marik, focused on waging a war against Regulus, choosed to ignore the Marian invasion. So, three years later, the Duke decided to act alone, invading the Hegemony at his own initiative, prosecuting the war without stopping even after the rest of the League censuring him. At the end of the year, the planet Illyria had fallen under the Duchy.[5]
