Kalvin "the Devourer" Liao was the Chancellor of the Capellan Confederation for a brief period during the Age of War. Though Kalvin may have been better than his predecessor, Kalvin was mentally unstable and had an insatiable appetite for acquisition. Kalvin's reign ended by assassination in 2530.

Kalvin was wed to the daughter of the Protector of the Taurian Concordat, Ariana Calderon, some time near (or before) 2520. The marriage was one of political convenience, a way to forge an alliance between the Concordat and the Confederation. However, Kalvin forgot (or simply disregarded) the politics, and married more women; by 2527, Kalvin had a large harem of wives, numbering more than 100. Then, in a manic fit, Kalvin ordered all of his wives executed for treason. The event prompted the first aggressive military campaign targetted at an Inner Sphere nation undertaken by the Taurian Concordat, a punitive strike against several Capellan border worlds known as Ariana's War.
