Admiral Ferqar
TVC 05/03 Jotun. Gender unknown. Roommate of Hurwood, the murdered Admiral on the Srisa. Was currently assigned to border/scouting patrol for the Jotun Navy. Known to Jeltor, not a close friend.
TVC 05/4Not the murderer. Had ironclad alibi (video) in other parts of ship when it occurred. Also, Barnabas found no memories of any murder in his mind. So far, one of the "good guys". Thanked Barnabas for taking over investigation. Had been with Huword to orient him to his new assignment, border patrols. A good Admiral, but never recognized for his better qualities. Always "passed over" in promotions, medals, ceremonies, etc. Not in sync with the political forces in the Senate that was responsible for such things.
TVC 05/22 Ferqar had known some of what Huword had been doing, but had taken no active part in any of it, had just not done anything about it. He WAS in contact with those who had ordered Huword murdered, had, in effect, "set him up" for it by being on the Srisa, but he didn't want to know anything about the details. He'd have to learn to live with what he had allowed Huword to get away with. .
