Alfred Rosas was a vice admiral in the Free Planets Alliance navy and a member of the Year 730 Mafia. He also served as Bruce Ashbey's chief of staff. He was born in 710 UC (401 IC / 3510 CE) and died in 788 UC (479 IC / 3588 CE) at the age of 78. He graduated fourth in his class.
History
"I was not blessed with tremendous talent like Ashbey. My job was to listen to everyone and coordinate their opinions in order to serve as the buffer among the strong personalities in our commanding headquarters. In order to make use of the vastly different talents, a living "glue" was neccessary. I saw my raison d'etre in fullfilling that need, and actively put myself in that role. And in actuality, when I was a commanding officer on my own, I would think that my own competence was probably only slightly above average. But having served as Ashbey's chief of staff six times over the course of ten years, I believe I had his confidence and trust." -From Alfred Rosas' autobiography
In 745 UC (436 IC / 3545 CE), Ashbey was appointed Chief Commander of the Space Fleet, and in June of that year, Alfred Rosas was appointed to be the Chief of General Staff of the Space Fleet. Though there were whispers of resentment over these 730-mafia centric assignments, their achievements were matters of public knowledge.
The year Ashbey died, Alfred's wife also died. She died while he was away. She had been very sick. After he death, he became very lethargic and withdrawn, and requested a leave of absence.
Rosas wrote an autobiography titled, "My Recollections," first printed in July SC 778 by Owl Books. That same year, it was awarded the Clear-Water Award. It is considered to be one of the most important documents in Alliance history.
As part of his investigation of the Tuesday Correspondence, Yang Wen-li interviewed Admiral Rosas briefly, and shortly after that interview, Rosas died of unnatural causes. When he left the residence, Rosas' granddaughter told Wang that her grandfather was not friends with Ashbey at all: that, in fact, Ashbey had stolen the credit for all of her grandfather's accomplishments. Rosas died the day after Yang's interview, from an overdose of sleeping pills. He was the last member of the Year 730 Mafia to pass.
