Ael t'Rllaillieu

Ael i-Mhiessan t'Rllaillieu served as a khre'Riov, or "Commander-General" for the Romulan Star Empire in the mid 23rd century in command of the Imperial Warbird, the IRV Bloodwing.

Family
Ael came from a family with a long history of military service, and Ael prepared for a military career from childhood. Her father once required Ael to completely disassemble and re-assemble every system on his old Warbird. A task she completed in three months.

Ael's son, Tafv and her cousin Aidoann both served with her on board Bloodwing.

Ael's niece was the Warbird Commander known as Charvanek who was disgraced when she allowed a cloaking device to be stolen from her ship by James T. Kirk of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) in 2268. (TOS novel My Enemy, My Ally)

Bloodwing
Ael's appearance was that of a deceptivly frail woman who did not even reach five feet in stature. However in battle, she proved a cunning and fierce warrior whose crew onboard Bloodwing was loyal to her unto death.

When tensions began to rise between the Empire and the United Federation of Planets in 2275, Ael found her ship and crew in many skirmishes with Federation forces along the Neutral Zone, including several indecisive encounters with Kirk and the Enterprise, who was patrolling the Federation side of the Zone.
