Character Profile
Affiliation Republic of the Sphere
Title(s) Mandrissa[1]
Position Planetary Governor of Liao

Governor Anna Lu Pohl was Planetary Governor of Liao, for the Republic of the Sphere, from at least 3130 to 3134.[1][2][3]

Personal Appearance[edit]

Lu Pohl, who had Asian heritage, was extremely tall and preferred wearing Han-inspired gowns which matched her polished aristocratic Capellan accent.[1]

History[edit]

As Governor, Lu Pohl had an insatiable thirst for detail, having her staff brief her extensively on data which they had been able to obtain.[1]

During the Capellan Confederation's liberation of Liao in 3134, Lu Pohl was considered opportunistic, rather than loyal to either the Capellans or the Republic.[4] As part of her "People First" campaign for Governor, she had presented as sympathetic to nostalgia for Liao's Capellan past, but was equally seen as sufficiently loyal to its Republic future that her candidacy was approved by the staunchly pro-Republic Lord Governor Marion Hidic.[5]

At a battle at the Liao Conservatory of Military Arts on 4 August 3134 against rebel pro-Capellan students, this resulted in Governor Lu Pohl sending forces to reinforce the Republic assault commanded by Legate Viktor Ruskoff, but they switched sides to support the ultimately victorious student rebels.[6] Governor Lu Pohl and her forces thereafter continued to support the pro-Capellan side, until the ultimate surrender of Legate Ruskoff and the transfer of control over Liao to the Capellan Confederation, and remained in place as Governor under the new administration.[7][8]
