At Age of 59

At the very least a Word of Blake sympathizer if not an outright mole, Victoria Parrdeau (3017 - 3???) served as ComStar's Precentor ROM after the ComStar Schism.

Character History

Victoria Parrdeau was originally a member of the Com Guards, fighting against Clan Smoke Jaguar during the Battle of Tukayyid. She transferred to ROM in the wake of the Schism, being promoted by Primus Sharilar Mori to Precentor ROM in the winter of 3054.

Between 3054 and 3057 Parrdeau had amazing success in rebuilding the gutted organization from top to bottom, until she selected Michelle Ellingham as head of counter-intelligence, the highly placed Blakist mole unmasking ComStar ROM agents in the Word while at the same time allowed Word ROM agents to expand and infiltrate the secular organization. Ellingham's efforts culminated in Operation Odysseus, the loss of Terra and the Blakist's nerve gas attack that eliminated ROM's Cairo based headquarters crippled the secular ROM anew, forcing Parrdeau to begin all over again.

As the Jihad burst into open warfare, increasing evidence emerged that Parrdeau was actively working for the Blakists. According to information gathered by Wolfnet, she tried to conceal important information concerning new Word of Blake military hardware and connections between the order and Kali Liao's Sixth of June movement, trying to eradicate a whole team of highly trained agents in the process.

Parrdeau was credited for assisting in the assassination of Primus Sharilar Mori in October 3068 (a factually false accusation) and the attempted assassination of Anastasius Focht at ComStar's command post on Orestes,

However, her being an outright Blakist was called into question, as rather than head directly to the Word of Blake she fled in secret. Questions as to her true loyalties became even more muddied when her Blakist counterpart Alexander Kernoff issued a Persons of Interest report requesting her capture alive, while a similar Manei Domini report issued by Apollyon to Berith indicated that she was considered "compromised" and that she should be exterminated. Her last known location at that time was listed as Hesperus II.

In March of 3072, Parrdeau was eventually tracked down on Dalton in the Free Worlds League by both Berith and the infamous Bounty Hunter. Hired by Chandrasekhar Kurita to locate her, the Bounty Hunter and his team narrowly beat Berith to capturing her, and acquired her secret journal from her. Parrdeau and her journal were eventually delivered to Devlin Stone after Chandrasekar Kurita's death.
