Savas Keleris

What it is like to work with Savas? Well I have nothing to complain about really. He is after all the one who gave me a job in this new world after I had been in cryosleep for centuries. Although I do get annoyed sometimes that he constantly tries to get me to upgrade my wardrobe. Nothing wrong with wearing a labcoat, that is just practical. And besides I could never match his amount of charm even if I was wearing fancy clothes.

Career

Pavanor

The career of Savas only really took off when he spent time in the Pavan Empire. This nation had already started industrialising several years earlier and Savas was immediately intrigued. He learned as much as he could in the time he spent there. He was especially intresting in the machines used to make cloth, given his background as a clothing trader.

Factories

When he returned to Terios he took what he learned with him and convinced his father to invest in building a factory. His father agreed and gave him leadership over this new endeavour.
The first factory in Terios was a big succes and the wealth of the Keleris family increased rapidly. Savas company therefore marked the true start of the industrial era in Terios.

Alliance-Covenant War

In 1237 AE disaster struck when the Alliance-Covenant War broke out. Profits declined and supplying the military become more important. However, the worst was yet to come when the father of Savas went on a trip to Savi.
No one had forseen that the Convenant army had left important targets behind in order to go straight to Terios. They stopped at Savi where they sacked the cities killing the vast majority of the population in the process. Also the father of Savas was killed during this event, leaving him in control of the company.

After the War

Once the war ended the company recovered fully and was even able to increase in size. Savas and his brothers saw a new business opportunity as well. The war made it all the more clear that a quick and efficient supply line would be crucial in case a new war broke out. They therefore decided to start the construction of a railroad going from Golandon to the western border. The youngest Keleris brother received control over this new endeavour.
Since Savas Keleris became more involved in politics he started to give more responsibilty of the main company to his other brother.

New Developments

Savas was always interested in engineering and technology. Knowing of the almost mythological Underground Gnome Empire, which was believed to be very advanced, it was only a matter of time before he would finance an expedition. During this expedition something was found which he did not expect, Yamaderis.
The expedition found him in a pod which apparently put him into some kind of sleep for a very long time. After being gone for many centuries, the world had changed a lot for Yamaderis. Yamaderis was quite knowledgeable and could teach the current world a lot. For this reason Savas eventually made him the head of technological development for his company.
Yamaderis already created some advanced Prosthetics while in his new function. Only time will tell what other stuff he will come up with.
