Born in the [[Draconis Combine]]'s [[Rasalhague Military District]], Gardner Riis joined the ComStar order during the [[Third Succession War]]. Thanks to his language skills, particularly in Swedish and Swedenese, [[Adept]] Riis would become a major linguist in ComStar's Language and Code Intelligence Division. Riis would catch the notice of [[Myndo Waterly]] as she laid the groundwork for [[Operation ROSEBUD]], with the young linguist becoming a devoted follower of her aggressive and extremist views.<ref name=CS-61>''ComStar'', p. 67 "History of ComStar - The Waterly Era - Covert Operations - Rosebud"</ref> <ref name=20YU-45>''20 Year Update'', p. 45 "Free Rasalhague Republic - Revolt"</ref> <ref name=20YU-64>''20 Year Update'', p. 64 "ComStar - A New Stance"</ref>

Following Operation ROSEBUD and the formation of the Free Rasalhague Republic, the creation of the new realm required the selection of a Precentor to represent that new state in the First Circuit. Though technically the entire First Circuit was entitled to elect this representative, Waterly used the Capital Preference clause in ComStar law to state that it must be offered to Precentor in command of the capital world of that realm and that she had selected Gardner Riis as the new Precentor Rasalhague. Precentor [[Tharkad]] [[Ulthan Everson]] and Precentor [[New Avalon]] [[Huthrin Vandel]] argued that youthful Riis was too inexperienced for the First Circuit, but Waterly proceeded over their objections. Formally accepting the post in [[3041]], Riis' selection ensured that the political balance of the First Circuit tipped firmly in Primus Waterly's favor.<ref name=CS-61/> <ref name=20YU-64/>
