An extended backstory idea - hopefully it's all hunky dory.

Kosmas has always been extremely loyal to the crown - this is a well-known fact, and previously he has been involved in diplomatic subterfuge on conquered planet-states in order to gather intel on the local climate and report back in order to quell potential uprisings in advance - either by force or by supplying what is needed. He's never been afraid to get his hands dirty for this role, and while he's so far successfully drawn the line at outright murder, he's able and willing.

For his loyalty and consistent work, he was allowed to be present at the diplomatic summit of Tharsis - and was one of the first infected with the X-Pression virus. His skills allowed him to escape unscathed, but he would belatedly learn that the "illness" he received would turn into a human, seemingly at random, and almost got him killed the first time it happened on the Aurigan mothership.

The Princess was probably the one who saved his life, in pardoning him and/or recognising the value of such a skill, and offered him the chance to put that weird virus to good use. He was put on a ship to Earth, bailed when he was close enough to make a stealth landing before he self-destructed his original Sylph, and was formally written off as KIA. As soon as he had the chance, he signed up for the war as it began, and has been Earth-side ever since, doing whatever is required of a high-profile pilot in order to deepen his cover.

(He fully expects to be tried and found guilty of war crimes if they all survive this, but he accepts that. It's his job, after all.)

After two years of killing his fellow Empire Kids he is very tired of killing people. He just wants the war to end now. Maybe revealing the Consort's aliveness to the universe will help facilitate that. If he can find the poor lady himself to send evidence.

Dr Durante thinks he's a good guy, if a little weird.

Montrev was likely his commanding officer back in the day, if he's been a spy for a while.

He's a bit weird. But sometimes when she's feeling paranoid he stands watch for a while for her until the weird paranoia goes away!

sorry that one of your students also got killed in this bullshit war Montrev

That IS handy.

It's only made him more determined to crush the damn Earthers once and for all, ugh.

Relevant random information:

- He has a variety of casual disguises; suits, dresses, other jobs' uniforms, a bunch of wigs and facial accessories and coloured contacts for when he interacts with other spies.
- The Texas affectations get dropped completely when he's reporting. Other accents might get put on but they're never as needlessly intense.
- """somehow""" gets double booked for a statistically significant number of tests. Uses this time to fake out on testing altogether and go bother other spies.
