List of Urcean officials: Difference between revisions

'''Beth Áine''' (born '''Wei Fen Qua'''; born 18 January 1974) is a [[Urcea|Urcean]] public official who currently serves as the [[Ministry of Administration of the Realm (Urcea)|Deputy Royal Administrator]]. Born in [[Corumm]], her conversion to [[Catholic Church|Catholicism]] at 15 while her family was on business in Urcea and subsequent request to be granted asylum in Urcea caused a socio-political sensation and lead to the landmark legal case ''[[Qua v. His Most Christian Majesty's Government]]'' when her father [[Chul Lung Qua]] sued the [[Government of Urcea]]. Baptized as Elizabeth, the remainder of Qua's minority was spent with state-sponsored tutors as she managed to live on her own in [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]], going on to attend the [[Collegium Scientificum]]. At the Collegium, she met her future husband Colus Áine, and studied political science. Following her marriage to Áine in 1997, Áine managed to use the notoriety of her case to start a political career. Serving as a member of the [[Urceopolis_(Archduchy)#Government|Royal Parliament of the Archduchy of Urceopolis]] from 2000 through 2015 as a member of the [[National Democratic Party (Urcea)|National Democratic Party]], Áine became associated with the policies of [[Michael Witte]] and [[Wittonian Socialism]]. Although she lost reelection in the [[2015 Urcean elections]], she was appointed Deputy Royal Administrator following the [[Union for National Solidarity (Urcea)|Union for National Solidarity]]'s victories in the [[2020 Urcean elections]].

'''Aedanicus Gallant''' (born 29 March 1983) is a current [[Censor (Urcea)|Censor]] of [[Urcea]]. A graduate of trade school in [[Ardthirium]], Gallant worked as a steamfitter from age 20 through 23 before becoming involved with politics, joining the [[National Democratic Party (Urcea)|National Democratic Party]] in 2006. A proponent of [[Wittonian Socialism]], Gallant served as a party committeeman in the province from 2006 until 2015. Standing for a seat in the [[Concilium Daoni]] in 2010, Gallant was narrowly defeated by a member of the [[Julian Party (Urcea)|Julian Party]]. Gallant became prominent within the party as being an advocate for a renewed push for what he called the "moral media", arguing that the winding-down [[Occidental Cold War]] could potentially lead to laxity in morals in Urcea and that immorality would remain an enemy even if [[Caphiria]] was not. In an unusual step, Gallant launched a nationwide speaking tour that was well received in 2014 ahead of his intended run for Censor. With [[Bridget Farrell]] retiring from the office of Censor in 2015 to run for [[Concilium Daoni]], Gallant won over a crowded field of candidates as one of the few [[Union for National Solidarity (Urcea)|Solidarity]] victories in the otherwise landslide defeats of the [[2015 Urcean elections]].

He served as the body's [[Chancellor and Temporary President|Majority Leader and Temporary President]]. Reed was the first major party leader from Gassavelia in the history of the Urcean party system, and was the first Chancellor and Temporary President from the southern region of Urcea. Coinciding with his first election as party leader of the [[National Democratic Party (Urcea)|National Democratic Party]], Reed stood as the NDP's candidate for Procurator for the [[2010 Urcean elections]], but was defeated by [[James Dynan]]. Following the [[2015 Urcean political realignment]], he stood as the nominee for the new [[Union for National Solidarity (Urcea)|Union for National Solidarity]] in the [[2015 Urcean elections]], but was defeated and finished in third place. In the same year, he lost reelection for his seat in the [[2015 Urcean elections|Concilium Daoni election]]. Following his defeats, King [[Riordan VIII]] appointed him Special Envoy to [[Cetsencalia]]. Following the [[Final War of the Deluge]] and destruction of Cetsencalia, Reed remained in various roles relating to Urcea's relationship with the [[Veltorine diaspora]].
