'''Kevin Tamar''' was the leader and last ruler of the [[Tamar Pact]], and one of the founders of the [[Lyran Commonwealth]].

==History==
In [[2338]], three [[Rim Worlds Republic]] [[JumpShip]]s strayed into Tamar Pact space and were mistaken by the defenders for [[House Kurita|Kuritan]] raiders. Realizing that the Republic's anonymity would soon end, [[First Consul of the Rim Worlds Republic|First Consul]] [[Maxwell Rowe]] took the initiative to meet with Kevin Tamar in March [[2339]]. Each man found the other to be surprisingly cultured and civilized, and they parted with an agreement of neutrality. From Tamar's standpoint, this freed his people from having to look over their shoulders during their conflicts with the [[Draconis Combine]].<ref name=TPp18-19>''The Periphery'', pp. 18–19: "From Rim to Tamar"</ref>

Tamar was present on [[Arcturus]] in [[2339]] where he met [[Thomas McQuiston]] and [[Robert Marsden]] in what was the first meeting to create the Lyran Commonwealth, and by [[2441]] the [[Terran Hegemony]] recognized the new state.

It took until [[2346]] for the three of them to agree on the [[The Nine Archons|nine Archon system]] and select the Archon Basileus. The system was not working very well and was very unstable. Robert Marsden spent several years studying his "enemies'" weak points and in August [[2375]] instigated a coup, making those errors visible and stripping them all of their power and imprisoning them for life.<ref name=HSLCp9-11>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', pp. 9–11: "Hegemony, Prosperity, and Foundation - Chaos and Corruption - Marsden in Power"</ref>
