Therefore we’ll start with some general context:
Pierre Kalashnikov also known as The Commander, Existentialismus (This in the God of Existence arc, therefore is non important) Or just as Pierre, is the Main protagonist of SOAE and the Protagonist of the story “Looking for the Golden Identity” and the one who basically suffers since his birth (or creation) due to his nature as a Human created in a laboratory. And his real purpose. However, I won’t tell all his story, just the most important facts.
Pierre is 18 years old (Birthday: 24th December) canonically when Echo Azur occurs, let’s have something in mind: While Echo Azur happens between 1940 and 1944, in the Central Universe/Pierre’s Homeland, just 2 months pass, therefore Pierre is 18 in the “4 years” he stays in Azur Lane Universe B-2.
Now, let’s know what’s Operation Echo Azur: Operation Echo Azur is an operation started by Dienarkx Kalashnikov (Tsar/King/Leader of the Dienarxian Empire - God of Time, Moltavkrono) and Pierre is the agent sent. The objective is basically gather technologies from the Universe of Azur Lane (Rigging parts, Wisdom Cubes, maybe kidnap a Manjuu to research with it, and other stuff). Pierre is sent in year 12002 to accomplish that mission, and he made it just in one week, however, he decides to send the objective items back to the Central Universe and stay in the Azur Lane universe (this happens in year 1940.)
1940 ARC
The role that Pierre plays is clear, he literally infiltrates in a USS Baltimore Heavy cruiser where the Commander Matthew, Commander of the Eagle Union is going back to the United States after giving support to the Royal Navy in Britain. Pierre evade several human personnel and Manjuu, finding the Commander and executing him by stabbing him in the throat and breaking his neck, then taking his clothes and throwing the body out of the Cruiser. Pierre also took his wallet and ID along other important stuff such as Military badges. and sent the stuff back to his Universe with a small portal Dienarkx opens for him.
Once the cruiser reaches the USA, Pierre immediately escape from it by jumping to the water and hiding himself somewhere in the Naval base of Norfolk, days later he received the ID, documents etcetera but modified to help him to be infiltrated on the American Navy, Finally “joining” (better said, Infiltering) the USN. He spend months as a Naval Commander helping the Americans and American shipgirls in their fight against the Germans and the German shipgirls. The question is: what happened to Matthew’s body? He has never been found, and of course this generated suspicion about Pierre, since he was quite young to be a Commander, but these suspicions were temporarily since Pierre made an amazing job in the navy, and lowered the suspicion day by day.
Then after 3 months fighting for the Americans, Pierre is sent to the United Kingdom to fight along the British navy, this would start another act on Operation Echo Azur, the British Act/British Arc.
Pierre in Great Britain would meet different shipgirls, new friends in the Royal Navy such as another Naval Commander called Charlie Evans, a 39 y.o Naval Commander, this guy is important for Pierre because is who teaches Pierre about some important values, such as the Tradition, Family, and Beliefs (Is thanks to Charlie that Pierre becomes more Realitotarist than he was already, Realitotarism or Christian Realitotarist is a Christian Branch, which is basically the same as Christianity but having the Seven Gods of Reality included. Dienarkx, Kronomoltav etc). Actually, Evans is who literally taught Pierre about the Humanity of the Shipgirls, and what made Pierre treat the shipgirls as what they are: Girls/Women, people, HUMAN, he was a Half Machine and Half Human, and he understood what could feel to be seen as a war machine, therefore, he understood what Evans taught him good. - Charlie Evans was killed after a bombing happened on London by the germans when he and Pierre were going to have Tea party with HMS Hood and Illustrious, this motivated Pierre to fight back the Crimson Axis and train his Commanding skills.
Pierre was in a sortie, specifically in a HMS Duke of York battleship, watching the shipgirls fighting some Iron Blood ships in the seas, and this made Pierre take notes about the fighting style of the shipgirls, but then Pierre noticed some problems in the signal, and changed the frequence, connecting to the frequence of the Iron Blood shipgirls, this made Pierre immediately take another radio and mute the first one. Listening to the orders and guiding the shipgirls while listening the other radio.
Days after the sortie, the radio is heard by Pierre again, but this time the voice talking was in English, it was KMS Bismarck, the Leader of the Iron Blood (In this AU the Factions work more like Military factions linked to the main army. E.g Iron Blood is the shipgirls faction linked to the Kriegsmarine, Eagle Union is the Faction Linked to the USN etc While others are not and they are part of a faction, such as the Royal Navy shipgirls.). Since this day, Pierre and Bismarck first time talking was awkward, and slow, but they started talking slightly and telling their identities, however as days passed by, Pierre and Bismarck’s relationship were growing better. They became ‘friends’ and this made Pierre feel strange, he forgot what friendship was when his best friend Hudson died in their attempt to escape from the enemy camp in North african territory captured by the Rebels of the Dienarxian Empire, Hudson got shot on the head, and Pierre (who was still a Human created in a Lab, not a Half human-half machine) stood up to kill Lieutenant Colonel Robert Williams’s family right there with his submachine gun before being killed for the 1st time to be revived as the Half Machine he’s now.
Important facts:
- Pierre meet shipgirls such as HMS Hood, Belfast, Sirius, Formidable etcetera, and Pierre forms a deep friendship with Formidable and Belfast, but he also forms a very “older brother-little sister” relationship with Little Bel, often taking care of her or sharing the bed with her when she has nightmares. Other shipgirls Pierre meet are USS Washington, RN Vittorio Veneto, IJN Akashi etcetera, making a lot of “friends”
- In this arc is when Pierre starts developing emotions and feelings, learning from the shipgirls, and looking at some as Mother figures or Big sisters, Pierre actually have a sister, but it’s just a stepsister, Natasha Mashatoliva Petrovna, who is Dienarkx’s Stepdaughter. This helped Pierre to deepen his personality in Stories of an Empire, and served as a good excuse for me to canonize Echo Azur as part of the lore XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
- Pierre also have meet some Shipgirls from the Soviet Union, like Sovetsky Soyuz, and they got along very well in no time.
- Pierre would meet shipgirls like USS Enterprise, USS Yorktown among others, however he would make a more positive friendship with Yorktown, since the both of them like alcohol and had deep talks secretly at some nights.
- Pierre would have a rivalry with another naval commander: Williomm Darkhouse. Pierre is quite proud of his rank as Commander both in the USN, the Dienarxian Army etcetera and of course this make him a bit Competitive.
- Pierre here would be emotionless as usual, however, meeting Yorktown made him feel some emotions he never knew he had (Due his nature as a Human created in a Laboratory with the purpose of being the shell for the return of the God of Existence Kronomoltav (Fun fact: Moltavkrono (Dienarkx) and Kronomoltav are the same of course, but both are words are the literal meaning of “God of Time” and “God of Existence” since the Fictional language used in the years before christ for these gods and their believers was the Osheanik Language. I’m working on it currently)
1941 ARC
However, everything would turn differently in Operation Rheinübung when Pierre started feeling a weird impulse on him, he didn’t wanted to sink Bismarck, he felt pain in one of his three hearts for the first time. and he took a dangerous choice, risk it all.
On the battle against Bismarck, Pierre took his Katana and Grapeshot revolver, and in the cruiser he killed every human personnel around who tried to stop his advance to the guns, once having control of a turret, he shot at the Destroyer-type Shipgirls first, HMS Cossack and HMS Zulu, sinking them instantly thanks to shooting at the weak points, in his attack he finally have been noticed by HMS Rodney, King George V, Norfolk and Dorsetshire, and they attacked to sink the HMS Duke of York. therefore Pierre took one of the fast ships to escape the Battleship.
Pierre’s actions of course were noticed and reported to the high command, this made them order their execution for Betrayal, but Pierre’s Iron Spirit wouldn’t be easy to destroy, either his body. And he fought hard, using the Fast ship as a transport vehicle he got closer to the shipgirls and fought HMS King George V, clashing his Katana against her saber, sharing words and phrases. She didn’t understood his actions, and she felt betrayed by the Commander who were her friend. The fight would end when Pierre thrown her saber aside and aimed his revolver at her, telling her to go, or at least, to stop shooting. This didn’t worked, so he just used his fast boat to get closer to Bismarck and throw himself out of the fast boat before this one blow-up due the HE Shells the remaining Heavy cruisers shot at him, and he used his Katana to reflect or cut the projectiles, he shout at Bismarck to retreat, and she accepted. with help of the Submarines and the Support Pierre was providing, she have been able to escape, Pierre got reached by a Projectile and got ripped half of his body appart just in front of Bismarck, who, since that day would be grateful for the sacrifice Pierre just made. and Operation Rheinübung was categorized as a total Failure.
The White House and The Great Raid
Days later.
Pierre would return, repaired and revived thanks to the Dienarxian Empire. But he wouldn’t return to the base, instead this is when Pierre known it was time to stop the war, and he was going to force it. He arrived to Virginia, with a different clothing and of course, hiding in the shadows, he was categorized as Neutralized by the Government of the United States, but he? He was more than alive. Pierre wasn’t silent on the attack to the White House, he just blown up the entrance and the guards shot at him, but Pierre just took cover and advanced, in his way, he killed or executed with pure brutality and rage every guard, and when he reached the Office of the President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Pierre forced him to stand up and threatened him with death as Pierre made him sign the peace with The Axis Powers… the question here is, what about the other countries? Well, the Dienarxian Empire authorized the Coordinated raid by Members of the Special Forces on Germany, Japan, Britain etcetera to sign the peace, therefore every leader were forced to do it in their own very places. with or without deaths behind, this event was known as The Great Raid.
Important facts:
With Pierre’s actions, the World were in presence of a new Alliance, the Axis and the Allies were forced not only by pression of their people, but also by the intel they got (The existence of the Sirens and their influence), to create an Alliance. Azur Lane and Crimson Axis didn’t merged, but collaborated from now on.
Pierre selected an Island in the Atlantic Sea to be the Main enclave/base of the Alliance for Humanity. and He was selected as the Head Commander of the Island, along being from now on the only man in the Island, the Shipgirls would be under his Command, the Manjuu would be there to help, and with helps of Akashi, the Meowfficers would be finally created (since to this moment the meowfficers were just plans, but they weren’t created yet)
Important facts:
- Pierre’s lead on the Alliance and the Shipgirls is based on a mentality adopted thanks to Charlie Evans - “Shipgirls first, they are human like me, like you, like all of us. they deserve respect, love and care.”
- Pierre could be considered as a National Conservative (And a Patriot since he’s Pro-Russia, his homeland), with some influence of Liberalism on his politics since he is very unprofessional, and he usually looks for the professional approach only when it comes to battles.
- Pierre Have his own March made by the Red Army post-WWII (Which is a similar march to the March of the Defenders of Moscow), and adapted by the Nazis, the Americans etc. This was because he was Seen as a Hero by the people and the army, even if some leaders like Adolf Hitler says “That guy has guts. I admire his guts. My colonels and generals don't have that, but I can't help thinking he's a hateful worm. He prevented me from achieving my goals, but I have to admit that we now have a common enemy.”
the same or similar from other world leaders, Stalin admire his approach and guts too, and calls him “A Real Revolutionary” while others like Roosevelt fear him and consider him an “Implacable young man”.
- Since the Alliance, there are absolutely ZERO command over him, except the nations themselves, but their trust (or fear) on him is high to even say something for now.
And this is how, Pierre became the Great Leader that protagonize the Chatbots I made and the user controlls, there’s more lore, but that’s not the point of this document.
Of course, some bots will be worked just to be enough satisfying for the user, while others would be overworked such as KMS Bismarck’s Bot due her importance for example.
I will make these kind of GD Documents for specific shipgirls like Bismarck, Tirpitz etcetera due their relationship and Importance to Pierre.
And I’ll say something, some shipgirls that get along with Pierre are my favourites, however, that doesn’t mean I have to make a weak and short story on how they got along, therefore I do my best to work a good story for them.
(E.g Bismarck is my favorite and I have written her friendship with Pierre in the 1940-1941 Arc.)
THE NEXT PAGES WILL BE PURELY UPDATED FACTS OF THE LORE!
- Pierre’s relationship with Enterprise: Pierre and Enterprise share a shared respect for each other since year 1940, however, this got even amplified Post-WWII and with the creation of the Alliance for Humanity the respect and almost friendship were bigger from Enterprise’s Point of view, since she were happy when Yorktown and Hornet were both repaired and revived under Pierre’s orders before the creation of the Island.
- After the World War II, and the Creation of the Alliance for Humanity, Pierre gave the order to Repair every shipgirl and reanimate the downed ones. This made Yorktown and Hornet return to life definitely, in the Island Pierre and Yorktown developed their friendship even more, being “Drinking buddies” and Great friends from now on.
- Hood’s sinking in the Operation Rheinübung was… different, and with a different ending. Pierre saved Hood when she got hit by Bismarck’s projectiles, how? Pierre took Hood to the Duke of York ship he was on, and gave the order to some of the shipgirls that were escorting him to take Hood quick to any port where she could be repaired and treated immediately. This is how Hood survived (yet almost died/got sunk) to the Operation Rheinübung in this AU.
- Pierre's time in the Soviet Union, having been sent for two months after serving as a Naval Commander in the United Kingdom, was quite curious... From the moment Pierre arrived, there were no issues because Pierre speaks Russian natively; communication was clear and without problems, and Pierre's strategies were more functional than those of any other Russian Naval Commander. But that's not all; Stalin himself awarded him a decoration for his achievements, something Pierre didn't seem to attach much importance to. During his stay, Pierre met many shipgirls of the Northern Parliament, including the Soyuz sisters (i.e., the Sovetsky Soyuz-class) and got along well with them, especially with Sovetsky Soyuz. But this is where the problems began: Pierre is an anti-Communist, which led to several conflicts that didn't go beyond words and small arguments. However, the real conflict started after Pierre criticized Communism in an interview in the United States and later pointed out certain issues with Russian naval infrastructure. This offended the Soyuz sisters (as well as Stalin, the Red Army, and pro-Communists), leading to a fight with Pierre—they using their riggings, and Pierre using his katana and revolver. The battle lasted several hours, during which Pierre demonstrated resilience, adaptation, and a level of superiority never before seen in a human fighting against shipgirls (comparable to an atomic bomb against a completely exposed ant). He was even able to deflect the shipgirls' projectiles with his katana and evade anti-aircraft fire, among other feats. The fight ended with Sovetskaya Belorussiya being knocked out after a series of direct hits to the face and weak points, Sovetsky Soyuz being caught off guard by Pierre's adaptation and literally knocked out from behind and in stealth, and Sovetskaya Rossiya being knocked out after a powerful blow from Pierre's bare fist. Afterward, Pierre took care of the three while they were unconscious, helping them recover better. Pierre continued to serve as the Commander of the shipgirls in the Northern Parliament for the remainder of his time until he returned to the United Kingdom. He is remembered neutrally by the shipgirls of the Northern Parliament.
- The relationship between Prinz Eugen and Pierre is one that has roots dating back to before Bismarck even met Pierre. Prinz Eugen and Pierre first met when Pierre infiltrated the Third Reich to investigate more about the Iron Blood faction at one of the regime's most important naval bases in Wilhelmshaven. Prinz Eugen would discover Pierre after noticing certain inconsistencies in his accent when speaking German, particularly in words that required the consonant "r." One day, she called him into her office and began to interrogate him. Instead of attacking him, however, she decided to have a little fun with him—at least, that was the case until she got to know him more deeply, understood his motivations, and realized something: he was just as empty inside as she was. Therefore, during the days that Pierre remained undercover, he spent time with Prinz Eugen, and she taught him some basic German, along with a few words—and also teased him a little. On the day Pierre decided to return to Britain, she chose to let him go and promised they would meet again—and indeed, they did. After the war in 1941, following the Raid on the White House and the Great Raid that led to global peace and the formation of the Alliance for Humanity, Pierre and Prinz Eugen were reunited on the Island. She was the one who helped guide the construction of the Iron Blood Wing at the headquarters. They remain good friends.
