"Why has John Christian Falkenberg thrown millions of people on dozens of planets into turmoil?" Because he's given up the brilliant military career he's known since age 15 to fight on his own. Because he's a legend to the Earth-bound, a matermind to his soldiers, an enigma to the politicians who buy his services. But mostly because he's John Christian Falkenberg.
