Eilert Salazar



"Damn. The punishing Vader-esque style of command with his fellow Chaos Council members that they were supporting, Eilert Salazar has it all. This bastard is ruthless. I hate this guy. Oh, at least he wanted to spare Coalition personnel for minor failures. Unlike the terrorists. That's fine."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Grand Admiral Salazar

Grand Admiral Eilert Salazar is a new character introduced in When the Cold Breeze Blows Away.

Appalled by the punishing "Vader style" of command that so many of his fellow Chaos Council members supported, Eilert preferred to promote creativity in his crew, rather than merely punish their failures, and never wants to kill off personnel for minor failures, as that could easily strain the resources of the Coalition of the Red Star, which was unaffordable at the time.

While a master of military tactics and serving as the Commander-in-Chief of the Coalition Navy, Salazar was more than an adept commander. His use of knowledge and intelligence in conjunction with stunning tactics proved Eilert to be one of the multiverse's most remarkable military commanders, alongside his fellow partner Grand Marshal Norman Hofmann.

In addition, Salazar did believe that a society of multiple species, with different viewpoints and philosophies, was inherently unstable. In this case, he believed in the necessity of a strong central government that was capable of listening to its people, but remained the "dominant voice". He felt that the only alternative was anarchy.

Finally, Eilert laid out complex campaigns in advance of his attacks. By following a carefully planned campaign, Salazar was able to keep his enemies guessing. In the time it took his enemies to understand one phase of his plan, Eilert had already moved on to the next. In this, Salazar was always a step ahead of his foes.

At the age of 51, he has light blue eyes, blonde hair, and wears a customized navy blue-colored uniform.
