Biography Edit
In 1900 PD, Fleet Admiral Webster was the First Space Lord. His nephew, Samuel Webster, served as the communications officer aboard HMS Fearless. Admiral Webster met with Admiral of the Green Hamish Alexander to discuss Commander Honor Harrington's actions in the Basilisk System, mainly her vigorous enforcement of Manticoran tranport and trade protocols. He supported Harrington, even though he was under pressure from diplomats and corporations affected by her actions to stop her. (HH1)
In 1903 PD, he met with Admiral Alexander to talk about the situation on Grayson, and ordered the Admiral to take two squadrons of battlecruisers to the Yeltsin's Star System. (HH2)
Following his time as First Space Lord, he commanded the Home Fleet, with HMS Manticore as his flagship. (HH4)
In the late 1910s PD, he served as the Star Kingdom's ambassador to the Solarian League. (HH10)
In 1921 PD, Webster was assassinated on Earth as part of the Mesan Alignment's Operation Rat Poison. His death, combined with the failed assassination attempt on Queen Berry of Torch, led to the resumption of hostilities between the Star Kingdom of Manticore and the Republic of Haven after a temporary ceasefire.
