Notes
Writing notes:
Giancarlo Martinelli is one of the more untamed Admirals in the Marina Stellare. He has always proven himself to be a fine commander, dating back to his service during the Syndeoneian War where he fought with distinction; but even for a commander in the Marina Stellare, his methods and attitude has prevented him from rising as fast as his talents may warrant. It doesn't help that he has had many feuds with other admirals and officers, having quite the temper, and being rather overzealous in his punishments. As expected, he has been in 12 duels in his life and has killed 5 men in them.
He utterly despises the Black Fleet and Moriji because of his father's infamous interaction with the Black Fleet when he was an Attaché to them. He was raised by his vindictive father to hate everything about them, and he took it to heart. It has only been made worse thanks to the Black Fleet's policies and actions, which conflicts with his immense patriotism for his nation and his navy. He has long wanted to see the Black Fleet humiliated, and it seems like he will finally achieve his dream.
