Heinrich Gates

Heinrich Gates is the CEO of the Niiz K Corporation during the events of the HILT Space Saga.

Biography
Like most affluent members of the business side of Niiz K, Heinrich was born on the capital planet Ademar. His family, already living in the most luxurious Niiz K planet, were always in the upper echelon of society. His upbringing fostered in him a desire to be the most powerful person in the region, and from an early age set about achieving that goal.

At the age of 17 his father got him a position in the company, and by 23 he had asserted himself with such aggression and confidence that he became the youngest member of the Board of Directors in Niiz K history. After just three years on the Board, the previous CEO died under mysterious circumstances (after having approved giving out a rare relief package to a suffering nation, asking nothing in return).

Heinrich quickly stepped into the vacated position after several more qualified Board members disappeared, but the official press release (which was made available mere hours after Heinrich took the CEO position) stated in no uncertain terms that they had simply retired to Rumanian territory and that they were happy there and there was absolutely no reason to bother trying to contact them.

Despite many critics voicing their objections to such a young man taking the job, Heinrich Gates has proven himself as the most effective CEO the Corp has ever had, implementing bold strategies that have brought heretofore unknown financial success to the already rich company.

In response to the critics, Heinrich repeatedly reminds the public that he is absolutely, totally, 100% in subjection to the President and Vice President of Niiz K and that he most certainly does not try to influence their decisions or deceive them in any way whatsoever.
