Galen Cox

Originally a Lyran officer in the 12th Donegal Guards, he became Victor Steiner-Davion's Adjutant and close personal friend. He evacuated Victor against the Prince's will from the debacle on Trellwan (Trell I) and again served as Victor's adjutant in the 10th Lyran Guards. He fought under Victor's command in the fighting on Twycross, Alyina and Teniente before being appointed Prince's Champion by Victor upon First Prince Hanse Davion's death in 3052.

He became engaged to Katherine Steiner-Davion in 3054. However in April 3056, on Solaris VII, he was believed killed in a bomb assassination ordered by Ryan Steiner.

In actuality, he had been spared when MIIO agents had linked his fiancee Katherine to the bomb assassination of Melissa Steiner-Davion, and in turn discovered the warning passed on to her by a mole she had placed in Ryan Steiner's staff.

Cox re-emmerged into public life several months later after undergoing cosmetic surgery to disguise his real identity. Under the alias of Jerrard Cranston, he became the new head of MIIO following the second retirement of Quintus Allard.

He accompanied Prince Victor into exile following Katherine's coup against Regent Yvonne Steiner-Davion. He was formally appointed Director of Intelligence for the Star League Defense Force later the same year.

At the conclusion of the Federated Commonwealth Civil War, his true identity was publicly revealed.
