Akbar was an ensign in the International Fleet and a crew member of IFcoltrans1.[1] He was first introduced in Ender in Exile.
History[]
Ender in Exile[]
Ensign Akbar was assigned to serve under Admiral Quincy Morgan's command of the IFcoltrans1. When Ender Wiggin and Valentine Wiggin boarded the ship, they were greeted by Morgan and Akbar was told to show them to their rooms. Before leaving, Akbar asked to shake Ender's hand and they saluted each other before Akbar left.[1]
After the ship arrived at Shakespeare in 41 AX, although he wanted to stay, Akbar knew he must report back to duty to travel to another colony. While planetside, he saw Dorabella Toscano shove her daughter Alessandra off the platform when she wanted to stay on the planet, and caught her. Dorabella tried again to bring her back to the ship but when Alessandra insisted she wanted to stay Dorabella tried to grab her, but her hand was caught by Akbar. She threatened to have him court-martialed and falsely accused him of rape, but Akbar calmly reminded her that everything on the ship was recorded. Alessandra told her mother that she was acting like Grandmother, and wished her farewell.[1]
As they walked back, Ender told Akbar that unfortunately Morgan would believe Dorabella's accusation, and told him he should stay on Shakespeare. After reassurances, he agreed to do this and retired from the Fleet.[1]
