Name: Doctor Theodora “Tedi" Stark

Faction: Alliance/Terran Confederation

Occupation: Project Director for Advanced Mechanics and Defense Concepts(AMDC), currently heading the GOLEM Mobile Armor Weapons Platform development, previously headed development on Project ÆSIR during the Kromus War.

Distinguishing Characteristics: Doctor Stark is tall human woman of heavier build in her older years, though not “heavy set". Standing six foot even with grey touched strawberry-blonde hair and dark blue eyes, she carries a number of scars that are from her work in weapons platforms and bio-augmenting research. Doctor Stark is know for her genius, but also for her no nonsense and decisively blunt personality, as well as a bit of a protective possessiveness toward her creations and the people who were enhanced into ÆSIRs due to a sense of responsibility to them.

Other Information: Born October 8th 2898, Theodora Stark is an exceptional genius with multiple degrees in mechanical and bio-engineering, known in the Confederation as “the mother of ÆSIR” for her work in developing both the augmenting procedures and the integrated powered armors that enhanced the now famous super-soldiers of the Kromus War. A less frequented nickname she has been given as well, to her great dismay, is “the modern day Catherine Halsey”. While not much about the creator of the Spartans is known beyond her accomplishments, Doctor Stark hates being compared to previous figures of renown and prefers to be known for her own achievements. The unverified stories of how the Spartans came to be also have affected Stark's views of her figurative ‘predecessor’, regardless of the truth to them. Despite her age and the losses she has suffered, including the deaths of her younger daughter and her family in the K-2L Massacre, Stark keeps herself focused on her work and what she does to keep the Confederation ready for the next threat. She is pragmatic to a point, but considers herself unwilling to cross certain lines even in the pursuit of her work, though she has yet to live through the desperation of many of the previous wars. At 79 years old, Stark has started to slow her lifestyle, but only so long as it doesn’t compromise her work, something her surviving daughter has criticized her for frequently.
