Contents
History[edit]
As one of the strongest supporters of former Captain-General Thomas Marik, Halas saw both the good and bad times for the League. His political support helped Thomas get his political, military and economic reforms against the resistance in Parliament. With the outbreak of the Jihad he stood by his son-in-law, even at the cost of close advisers like his cousin. With the dissolution of the Free Worlds League the Grand Duchy took a neutral position to survive the political changes. Because his daughter was a hostage to the Word of Blake on Atreus, and a rescue mission failed, Christopher Halas contacted Devlin Stone through his son Edgar Halas.[6]
Christopher died of natural causes on the 28th of March 3080, at which point his daughter Sherryl became Duchess of Oriente, and his son-in-law Thomas Halas became Duke.[3]
