He has great charisma and when speaking before crowds he is mesmerizing.
Ambitions and Goals: To make Ekos the most powerful independent state in the Quadrant, to make the Federation respect and fear that power, and to make Zeon pay.
Psychological Quirks and Problems: Mak Reising has a touch of megalomania, and monomania. Once he has decided he is right, no one can stay his hand. With the ability, some say dark power, to get people to follow him even with the recent set backs his popularity on Ekos has not waned. The dark, evil, and ever powerful Federation being responsible for the setback Ekos has not last faith, yet.
Parents/Siblings/Relatives: Mak is the only child of dominating stern Father and doting Mother. Both were killed in a shuttle accident that Mak blames on Starfleet. Indeed it was their plan to get him, but a last minute school assignment kept him from making that trip with his parents. Providence had spoken. He was destined for great things.
Friends/Lovers: Reising has no close friends, and no constant mistress. He wears mistresses out like he wears out fast cars. Every six months to a year it is a new woman. Where the old ones end up is not known. He is surrounded by sycophants and hangers on seeking a crumb of reflected glory.

Weaknesses: Self assurance to the point of not taking good advice.
History and Experiences Which have Affected Character Greatly: History reads that Mak Reising was lead to be the leader of Ekos by a vision of John Gill that told him to "Avenge my people". His life is one of hardship and struggle. The truth is he was the pampered son of wealthy business people, and has never lacked for needs or wants in his life. He took up political causes after his parents were killed.
