== Biography ==

=== Early Life ===
T.yi was born to a [[Yii'ua|Xi'an House]] based in Brahja, Oya III<ref name=":0" /> a former [[Perry Line|Perry Line system]] with a Xi'an exclave, and which is also the hometown of [[Laylani Addison]].<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/17951-New-United-Imperator-Addison-Still-Settling-Into-New-Role|text=New United: Imperator Addison Still Settling into New Role|accessdate=2021-08-18}}</ref> His house was in the business of translation and intercultural business dealings, and ensured that contracts brokered between Xi'an and Human entities would be both legally compatible with both nations, and culturally appropriate for both parties.<ref name=":0" />

As a young adult, T.yi undertook his 30 year service period to the [[Xi'an Empire]], and then achieved a dual honors degree in Business Administration and Interspecies Law at the [[University of Rhetor]]. After this he spent two decades working diligently for his [[Yii'ua|House]] back on [[Oya III]], until the [[Xi'an]] imperial bureaucracy declared that another House would be granted a monopoly on translation services. T.yi's house was thus forced to return to the [[Xi'an Empire]] to seek new business opportunities.<ref name=":0" />

=== Life as a Nyahuoaōng ===
T.yi, however, remained in the [[United Empire of Earth|UEE]], electing to become a [[Nyahuoaōng]] - a Xi'an who chooses to disinherit themselves from their [[Yii'ua|House]] in order to pursue an independent life. As an independent consultant he worked to facilitate interspecies trade in [[Oya system|Oya]] , and later [[Kyuk'ya system|Kyuk'ya]]. He was instrumental in brokering the deal between [[Musashi Industrial and Starflight Concern|MISC]] and [[Aopoa]], and has acted as a consultant to over 50 human businesses.<ref name=":0" />

Later, he would act as an advisor to [[United Empire of Earth]] negotiators for the [[Human-Xi'an Trade Initiative]], working alongside Ambassador [[Jennica Awasthi.|Jennica Awasthi]]. [[Laylani Addison]] would later nominate T.yi to replace Awasthi, with Senators [[Mira Ngo]] and [[Edward Aemile]] speaking in favour of the nomination, but the [[UEE Senate]] joined Senator [[Peter B. Hartwell]] in rejecting the proposal.<ref name=":0" />

== Trivia ==
T.yi's career as a business consultant for companies seeking to collaborate with businesses of another nation mirrors the career of CIG's xenolinguist [[Britton Watkins]], who spent much of his career performing this role for American and Japanese businesses.
