Widjet spent a part of his life on airships, traveling the world as an airship engineer, eventually becoming chief engineer of a ship named the Dauntless. After an incident involving pirates he moved up to airship inspector and chief of fleet maintenance, before being offered the royal technologist position he holds now.
At the time the service was called the Royal Equestrian Airship Service because it was government run, but shortly after Widjet left it went private, and now the company is called Equestrian Royal, though it’s role hasn’t really changed.
