Name: Rupert Valenor
Age: 47
Rupert Valenor, originally born on Earth, has held the position of Municipals Manager for Judo and the surrounding areas since the age of 23. He is an excellent manager and leader, his department the ideal of efficiency. His staff are happy to work hard and he treats them well. He is a strong believer in the ideal that those in power have a responsibility for their electorate and that Civil Servants, such as himself, have a duty to do all they can to make life better for people. He always counted himself lucky to be working under a man such as Governor Shun, who seemed to share these ideals.
However, all of that changed two years ago after the Disaster. Judo was now a wasteland, a pale mockery of its former self. The people who lived there now were desperate, those who had been either unwilling or unable to flee the nuclear catastrophe. Minister Valenor and his staff had been transferred to ReJudo, where the escapees had been resettled, but it sat badly with him the way that the government seemed determined to ignore those trapped in the remains of Judo, rather than helping them.
After a number of questionable acts by the government were brought to his attention by trusted friends across the government, he was forced to see the truth. All now knew that Governor Shun had been the corrupt Serge Ichigo, but it now seemed that his successor was even worse.
Minster Valenor had now had enough. While he had no desire to take control and the idea of a revolution went against his nature, he had to do something. However, who was to be trusted? The army and police had already show themselves to be untrustworthy. So he went to the old Imperial Battalion, long considered purely ceremonial but still highly trained and well armed. With their help along with his friends throughout the government he quickly seized the government and held the Governor to public trial, so that the people could see the one responsible for their suffering being punished and know that justice had been served. Finding him guilty, he was executed.
Unwilling to keep the power he had gained through force of arms, Minister Valenor had then called a vote on the next leader of ReJudo. Upon the insistence of many, especially his long trusted advisor Mrs Daljit, he had put himself forwards and had won in a landslide victory.
