- Virtue: Patient and Flexible
- Vice: Tragically Principled
- Rank: Admiral, Commander of the Gardenia Fleet
- Allies: The Ackermann Faction of the Admiralty, the Blanche Faction of the Admiralty
- Enemies: The La'Reines and their rebellious puppet admirals
- Goals: To keep the Republic standing and nurture the Reform Faction.
- Foreign Policy: I have no pretensions that upholding democracy isn't a burden, but the republican tradition can have no pride if it does not succeed in transmitting freedom to all corners of space. By allowing tyrants and demagogues to rule elsewhere, we allow them to undermine the existence of our own free and just societies. Their very existence is a challenge.
- Religion: Is God real? I cannot find myself believing that all that happens in the world happens for a reason, and the troubling paradoxes of theology make it difficult for me to retain my faith. Too much is bad. I will live the most virtuous life I can, doubting god. If I am accepted into the Kingdom of Heaven, I will never doubt again. If God exists and sends me to hell for my impious thinking, the Devil will find himself with a good admiral.
- Class: At many points in history we have allowed society to fracture into the classes which rule and those who do not. Patricians and plebeians, nobles and serfs, capitalists and workers, donor class and working class. Dividing our society in this way only limits our imagination and capacity for great works. Class must be recognized and addressed, the lowest of us given means to extract themselves from entrenched social inequalities.
- Economics: Capitalism, regulated by the state and with some public ownership of the corporations most essential to good civil life, is the kindest of all economic systems.
