Carlos Calderon

History

Carlos Calderon (b.????, d.2660) was a cousin of Protector Henry Calderon and a grandson of Marantha Calderon. In 2629 the aging Protector sought to clarify the successor to the Protectorship by a plebicite vote. Henry was allowed to chose his succesor, his 4 year old niece Consuelo Calderon. Carlos was named by Henry to be her regent, 'Protector to the Protector'. There were a great many feeble jokes about Carlos's title, none of which were very amusing. Carlos's rule was even handed and continued Henry's efforts to rebuild the Taurian Concordat out of the cooling ashes of the Reunification War. In 2650 at the age of 25, Consuelo declared herself ready to become Protector. Carlos yeilded his term as Protector gracefully to her. Consuelo as well as the Star League High Council acknowledged their gratitude for Carlos's many years of service by making him the first Honorary Council Lord.
