Military career
Most notably serving with distinction during the Battle of Idris IV after ending up in command of the 112th Infantry Battalion of the UPE Army, when his commanding officer was killed.Template:RSIref This accomplishment captured public attention. The UPE quickly realized this and turned Messer into the face of the Tevarin War.Template:RSIref
Messer rose through the ranks from Captain at Idris IV to Commander. And finally, when he brings the captured Tevarin leader to the UPE floor, he rides the popularity of his victory to become High-General. Template:RSIref
Prime Citizen
As High-General, Messer actively campaigned to eliminate the UPE's governing triumvirate and consolidate power into a single office. He viewed the Tribunal system as a toothless, outdated, ineffectual. He assert that ultimately the decision needed to come down to one person.
The Atrocity at Jata on 2545-12-15, provided an opening for Messer's political aspirations. The bombings were first attributed to Tevarin, but soon were pinned on the Xi'An. A second bombing occurred two months later. "Convinced only a strong leader could curb the attacks, Citizens voted in favor of replacing the Tribunal with a single Prime Citizen, then promptly elected Ivar Messer to the position. The rest, as they say, is history." Template:RSIref
Imperator
"Upon election as the first (and last) Prime Citizen, it isn’t long before he restructures the government into the new United Empire of Earth (UEE) and annoints himself Imperator, ushering on in an age of unprecedented expansion and colonization."Template:RSIref
Ushering in the beginning of what is known as the Messer Era.
