Description
Julian Mintz was born on 25 March 782 UC in Heinessenpolis. His mother, a commoner refugee from the Galactic Empire, died when he was two. His father, from the Free Planets Alliance's prestigious Mintz family, was killed when Julian was eight. Julian then lived with his paternal grandmother for two years until her death when he was ten. His grandmother destroyed pictures of his mother and hid those of his father, leaving him with no images of his parents. Julian believed her disapproval of his parents' marriage stemmed from class differences, reflecting attitudes similar to Imperial nobility regarding bloodline.

Through Alliance Vice Admiral Alex Caselnes's mediation, Julian became the adopted ward of Yang Wen-li. Julian developed domestic skills, particularly tea-making, learned from his father according to licensed sources, though other accounts attribute this skill to his mother's Imperial background. Despite Yang's preference for a civilian life, Julian aspired to a military career like his father and guardian.

His first combat experience occurred in 798 UC during a training exercise as a Spartanian pilot. He survived the destruction of his carrier, the Ameretat, destroying three Imperial Walküre fighters and the cruiser Lenbach. During the Eighth Battle of Iserlohn, Julian deduced Admiral Kempff's strategy against Alliance reinforcements, enabling the Iserlohn Garrison Fleet to launch a successful surprise attack on the Imperial fleet.

Following Yang Wen-li's assassination, Julian discovered his body as part of a relief force and later informed Frederica Greenhill of Yang's death. At age eighteen, holding the rank of sub-lieutenant, Julian was appointed military commander of the Yang Fleet and subsequently leader of the Iserlohn Republic's armed forces.

As commander, Julian refused to support Oskar von Reuenthal's rebellion against the Galactic Empire, correctly predicting its failure. He later defeated numerically superior Imperial forces at the Eleventh Battle of Iserlohn. During the Battle of Shiva, he penetrated the Imperial fleet and led a boarding party onto Kaiser Reinhard's flagship Brünhild on 1 June 801 UC. His actions and negotiations with Reinhard resulted in a cease-fire and equal-status peace talks between the Empire and the Iserlohn Republic.

Julian's physical description varies across sources, with heights recorded as 157 cm in Die Neue These design materials and 179.5 cm in other archival records. He held affiliations with the Free Planets Alliance, El Facil Revolutionary Government, and Iserlohn Republic.
