Art introduced Cadfael to his fellow officers. Cadfael greeted each in time, studying them intently with his somewhat pale blue eyes when they were introduced to him. It was always a pleasure to meet new people for Cadfael, to speak to them and to get to know them: he'd see them in his bar, hopefully, and be able to help them out.
Then Arthur introduced him. "This is Cadfael Jaco, an old friend of mine. Retired Federation Ambassador, new bartender and in general, a pleasant old man who likes sticking his round nose in other people's business to their benefit." Cadfael laughed heartily. "I think that is a fitting description," he commented pleasantly. "In fact, I couldn't have said it any better myself!"
"It's nice to meet you," the owner of the Portal Inn said. "And I hope to see you all in the Portal in time. I know at least one of you - not naming any names," he said with a 'holier than thou' look on his face as he turned to look intently at Arthur, "will come, if he has any intention of keeping his promises." He chuckled.
He had begun to take a liking to his retirement job. Perhaps he could even be of help to the station crew and give them a share of his experience.

Cadfael had just put the finishing touches to the pub's front, with a little help from his grandson Hugh and some of his staff that had already arrived. It looked cosy and conveyed exactly the image he wanted it to convey: it breathed the atmosphere of an English Pub, in and outside. No changes needed, he thought as he nodded in approval. Exactly the way I like it. And soon, my customers will like it too. He decided to invite the Station's Senior Staff over for a grand opening once the dust had cleared on the station's construction. Until then, the pub would be open to all, of course. No sense in keeping it from them while they were working.
He heard a familiar laugh behind him and turned to see Arthur enter from a distance. His friend, now in Starfleet Commander's uniform, was leading a group of his fellow officers that included Lieutenant-Commander Milos (whom he had heard much about), an elder man out of uniform and an Operations division officer. Arthur came towards him, shaking his hand. "I see you're all-set, Cadfael," Arthur said. "The speed at which you have adjusted the place is impressive."
"I wouldn't worry about me getting all set, my friend," he said with a chuckle. "Are you all set?" He grinned at Arthur.

Name: Cadfael Jaco Age: 67 Species: Angosian Position: Owner - the Portal Inn Please specify specialty within field if needed.Preferred Rank: Civilian (former Federation Ambassador) (Ranks can be changed by Admin or Moderators if need be.)Physical Description: Like all Angosians, Cadfael is undistinguishable from humans outwardly. He has short-cut grey-white hair in an old-fashioned style and wears somewhat outdated clothes. He has bushy eyebrows and grey-blue eyes. He has accumulated some fat over the years, but overall he looks like a kindly old man. Height, weight, hair color, eye color, any distinguishing features.Birthplace: Angosia Hobbies: Reading whodunnits, detective work, chess, swordplay, acting Family on board? Hugh Jaco, grandson Provide details of any family on board.History/Background/EducationCadfael Jaco was born on Angosia, but his parents, who were diplomats on the planet, were posted to Earth as envoys to state the case for the Angosians joining the Federation. There Cadfael grew up in Shrewsbury, England, where he developed his love for good ales, beers and spirits. When he graduated from university, he became an Angosian diplomat. Going through several postings during his career in the Angosian and the Federation diplomatic services, Cadfael Jaco became a distinguished and much-travelled man. Ever since he was 65, however, he has been weary of travelling and wished to focus on building his family, wishing to turn his career around. When invited to join the crew of Delta One by Arthur Ashbury, an old friend, he refused the position of Diplomatic Officer but he did want to go. To that end, he buyed space on the Promenade of Delta One, just a new adventure: there he'd put another of his loves to good use... and give a little advice from an old man where needed. It does not need to be super long or very complex.Personality Profile:Cadfael is a wise old man with a formidable wit. He has seen much of the Galaxy and learned much during his many postings as a Diplomat, which serves him well as he travels, especially in the form of a good understanding of human nature. He has an inquisitive and curious mind and likes a challenge, be it in diplomacy or otherwise, and the skills he learned during his career still come in useful in retirement as a pub owner. Helping other people and keeping peace is Cadfael's principal goal in life, contributing much to his success and determination as a diplomat. In pursuing the good of others, he has a casual attitude towards rules and protocols. In fact, he rather enjoys breaking a little rule to help someone every now and then, and he enjoys explaining why with a sort of witty "holier than thou" attitude even more. Cadfael loves a good drink and has sampled a lot of drinks from all over the galaxy, which he is glad to recommend to others. He also brews his own ales when he finds the time. A friend of Commander Ashbury despite the difference in age, he was brought aboard the station as a sort of jack of all trades to help him, and he readily does so, putting his knowledge and wisdom at the disposal of the station's crew. Any Special Notes: I have a bit of difficulty describing the personality, so the character might deviate a little from what you might expect based on all this. Celebrity or Image: Sir Derek Jacobi Avatar Image Link:Role-Play Sample: Please post a 1-3 paragraph role-play sample as your character. It can be about anything you want.Secret Word In The Rules: PM the real secret word in the rules to all the admins. DO NOT post it here.
