Auseri Sosten, Sosten ta Norya (16 April 1891 - 20 August 1968) was a Risevani commander, serving as a ship's captain during the Third Global War and an admiral during the Fourth Global War. He is most famous for his command of the Risevan Main Fleet in the southern Elaspegian Ocean between 1944 and 1946, during which he commanded his fleet in several great victories.
Youth and Early Career
Auseri Sosten was born in Kandisel, Inezama Province, in 1891, to Oris Sosten and Neyu Irlaten. The eldest of 6 siblings, with one brother and four sisters, his family was one with a military background stretching back five generations to the time of the Committee of Guardians; his own father was a naval officer who had served with distinction during the First Global War. Later biographies seem to concur that Auseri's childhood, while harsh, was also highly educational; his father was known to be extremely strict, while also being very protective of his eldest son, indeed to the point of neglecting Auseri's brother Arin.
The Second Global War
The Third Global War
During the Third Global War Sosten was promoted to command a cruiser, the Santoye.
The Fourth Global War
Though the war had started in 1940, Sosten was only called up to serve by his superior and lifelong friend Artase Kirmude in 1942, owing to his well-known expertise in carrier warfare due to his work in the years between the war. He was placed in charge of a joint task force with the specific aim of neutralising the navy of Beotes, which was poised to join the war against the League and which possessed a potent force of 5 battleships and 3 carriers moored in the naval base of Asvro Island. Organising his force of 4 carriers and several submarines, he carried out the Asvro Raid which turned out to be a brilliant success.
