Anvent Eturrer

Anvent Eturrer was a Gallente and former Grand Admiral of the Federation Navy. Eturrer is most notorious for an act that earned him the nickname the Great Traitor[1], when he unwittingly aided the Caldari State invade the Federation and recapture Caldari Prime.

Eturrer's history prior to his participation in the Caldari invasion are currently unchronicled. Some time prior to the rise of Tibus Heth, Eturrer began selling information to the Broker. One piece of this information led directly to the Caldari being able to strike the Gallente Federation unawares. Originally, President Foiritan assumed Eturrer was merely incompetent and fired him. It was only later that he discovered Eturrer had actually been traitorous.[2] In the Caldari State, he was viewed as a hero.[3]

Following his dismissal, Eturrer went into hiding in the Amarr Empire. Uriam Kador, Heir of the Kador Family, gave Eturrer sanctuary. Despite several attempts by the Federation to locate and capture Eturrer, he always remained one step ahead of Federation forces.[4] However, following Kador's invasion of Solitude, Empress Jamyl I allowed Federation warships to enter Empire space in order to retrieve him.[5][6][7][8][9]

Eturrer was tried and found guilty of treason. As his punishment, he was publicly executed by immolation triggered by chemicals that responded to the level of noise made by the mob assembled to watch his death.[10]
