RICHARD MARDUKAS
RM
Richard Mardukas is the veteran executive officer of the Tuatha de Danaan and the experienced naval professional standing beside Tessa on the bridge. He is formal, cautious and initially skeptical of the idea that a teenager should carry so much command responsibility, yet his loyalty to Tessa becomes absolute once he sees what she can do. Mardukas handles the procedural and operational discipline that keeps the submarine functioning while Tessa concentrates on the larger tactical picture. His stern manner also makes him an amusing contrast to the younger crew, especially whenever their personal lives begin bleeding into military business. When the Tuatha de Danaan is under real threat, however, the comedy disappears. Mardukas is exactly the kind of officer Tessa needs beside her: experienced enough to advise her and disciplined enough to follow when the decision is hers.
