Admiral Horatio Slowmere

Few names command as much respect as Admiral Horatio Slowmere. Born deep within the Emerald Canopy, he became a legend through something rarer than daring: patience. At the Battle of Silver Bay he waited three days, watching tides, winds and the habits of his opponent, then took the enemy fleet without unnecessary bloodshed. The victory earned him the Medal of the Golden Oak. He believes the greatest leaders speak last, listen first, and never mistake haste for progress.
