"He had a disheveled world-weary look about him, which seemed completely at odds with the mellow air that surrounded most of the Club's patrons – yet it was not this fact that made Tagge take a second glance in his direction. He had the kind of face that wasn't soon forgotten, for better or worse"

―Minister of Truth Sanya Tagge

Since becoming ruler of Kuat, Moff Quenn hasn't been idle.

He's taken on a young telbun, now named Quenn Yeartel in true Kuati fashion, and commissioned a new class of ship after his own designs - the Empress-class grand cruiser Irresistible. This was supposed to be for his own use, until he conceived a cunning plan that would ultimately bring him the throne of the entire galaxy - or so he thought.

Travelling to Imperial Center after the ship was completed, he planned to make it a gift to his future wife, the Moff of Doldur, Miranda Tarkin. His plan saw her accepting his offer of marriage and of the ship, after which their combined strength would prove argument enough over the other Moffs to win him the throne of the Emperor - after which he would dispose of his new wife somehow.

Unfortunately and unbeknownst to him, Miranda was already on the way to becoming Empress herself, and did not appear delighted by his plan at all - in fact, she seemed to see right through him. She accepted the ship from him, renamed it and ordered him to present it to her upon her coronation - which he did, since any rebellion would have meant death.

Unable to leave the planet until Miranda had time to see to his future, he spent his days feeling angry and getting drunk in various bars and clubs, until he chanced upon Sanya Tagge, the Empress' new sister-in-law, and a new plan began to grow in his overactive mind.

"The Moff was an audacious man; a self-centered megalomaniac to the core, extremely vain, and possessed of a cruel streak that was rumoured to have put him into his leadership position, the male head honcho in the center of a matriarchal government. His cleverness was born out of the desperate need to see himself come up top, but he was sufficiently blind to his own faults to interpret this as true genius. If it had not been for the shuttle's staff watching, he would have pompously patted his own shoulder in admiration of this oh so brilliant plan of his. As such, he merely did it in his imagination, and the thin-lipped grin turned into an amused chuckle at his own presumed oddity."
