King Deveers
King Deveers is the last of his Royal House, House Deveers. His sons, and father, the previous king, were all killed during the shaper incursion and in the skirmishes that sent the Shapers back to the abyss,
At 40 years of age, King Deveers has some life ahead of him, but the succession of the New Moon Cooperative is in turmoil, and Parliament seeks to place ever more limits on his power- blaming the Deveers for ineffective leadership and the loss of 90% of NMC territory.
Beset by a parliament struggling to curb his already weakened power, noble houses who openly disregard the crown for their own ends, and resistance movements against centralized New Moon Cooperative authority , King Deveers has launched an aggressive do-or-die rebuilding program in the hopes he can keep the Cooperative afloat for as long as possible.
In Early 2669 a cell of operatives working for the nobility successfully posioned King Deveers with a toxin known as an Iron Cyst. Virtually indetectable by existing medical scans of this post Scream age, the King only learned about his condition when it was too late to undergo any kind of cure. Passing the crown to one of the Cooperative's most loyal servants, Max Buchannon, the King hoped that he could use his remaining year of life to try to guide the new Monarch and the resurgent New Moon Cooperative down a better path.
King Deveers succumed to the Iron Cyst in January 2670, passing away quietly in his seaside villa surrounded by friends and family. The newly completed New Moon Cooperative flagship bears the name of their former King.
