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 boosted the morale of his crew not only through victories, but also through his clear dedication to the Coalition. Officers and crewmen serving under the Grand Admiral admired his lack of concern for personal glory, wanting only the defeat of the Coalition's enemies and the establishment of order.

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 dark blue eyes, blonde hair, and wears a customized navy blue-colored uniform.
