Col. Theodore “Teddy” Williams: The Lord of the Guise

A King Without a Throne

Power is not always taken with a blade. Sometimes, the deadliest men wear the finest silks, speak in riddles, and move unseen through the chaos they orchestrate. Colonel Theodore "Teddy" Williams is such a man—a shadow among kings, a ruler of the unseen, and the executioner of all those who threaten the balance of the galaxies.

To most, he is a charming diplomat, a collector of fine things, a merchant of whispers. But beneath the polished surface, Teddy is Aknotian nobility, an assassin of the highest order, and a man who plays the long game. He commands legions without lifting a finger, his influence stretching across planets, embedding itself into the very fabric of galactic politics. He is known as the Lord of the Guise, not because he wears a single mask—but because he wears them all.

Teddy lives a life of doubles and triples, each persona seamlessly blending into the next. With a mere nod, he can summon doppelgangers to fill his roles while he moves unseen, hunting his prey. And his prey? A traitor to his own blood—a man who has sold his people’s greatest secret to the enemy, a man who spilled the blood of Teddy’s father and brother for power.

Vengeance is not a simple thing for an Aknotian. It is an art form. And Teddy is painting his masterpiece.

The Secret War

The galaxies speak of war in battleships, weapons, and planetary invasions, but Teddy knows better. The real war is fought in whispers, in stolen codes, in shadows slipping between alliances like a blade through silk. The true war is fought at the King’s Court, where men drink fine wine and discuss genocide as though choosing a vintage.

And now, the Elite Superiors—the genetic architects of humanity—have set their sights on eliminating entire modified species. They call it progress. He calls it mass murder.

The Helion, the Ardinians—both powerful, both thriving, both marked for extinction. Teddy watches as they plot, as they release their engineered plague, as they sign death warrants over dinner.

But Teddy has a problem. A wild card. A surprise.

The Half-Breed in His Midst

Yoland Sleek.

A name that should mean nothing. A face that should be insignificant. Someone—somewhere—engineered her. And yet, she is impossible.

Her DNA defies the laws of genetic sequencing, her mere existence rewriting the limitations of humanoid evolution. And where there is an anomaly, there is always a creator.

Her maker surprises him and gives him the perfect wild card in this game of galactic chess. The man Teddy has spent centuries searching for; the brilliant, elusive scientist who vanished into the void…

If Yoland is the key to finding him, then she must be watched. Controlled. Used.

But Teddy is not reckless. He is patient. And like any proper predator, he enjoys the thrill of waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

A Legacy Written in Blood

There are few beings in the galaxies as dangerous as Colonel Theodore Williams. He is not a brute who fights in the dirt. He is not a reckless soldier charging into battle. He is the architect of destruction, the hand behind the blade, the whisper that topples empires. His power is not in force, but in control.

But what happens when the man who controls everything faces something uncontrollable?

A traitor who thinks he can outmaneuver him. A weapon so dangerous it could reshape the galaxies. A woman whose existence threatens everything he knows.

For the first time in centuries, Teddy is playing a game where he doesn’t know all the pieces.

And that? That is delicious.

Will You Stand in the Shadows with Him?

If you think Teddy Williams is merely a man of fine suits and smooth words, think again. He is the predator at the table, the kingmaker behind the throne, and the deadliest player in this war.

And when he finally makes his move, the galaxies will never be the same.
