Charles Raspin
Director of the Economics Directorate
Director of the Economics Directorate and president of the Banque Republicaine, Charles Raspin is the most influential man in the Republican economy. A graduate of Garamond University, he also studied in the Mekong Dominion and Humanist Alliance. During the unrest of the Judas Syndrome, Raspin realized that the greatest threat to the Republic was economic rather than military assault. Although the arrival of the Colonial Expeditionary Force threw his analysis for a loop, the post-war period has shown him to be correct. While the league's armed forces are in fine condition, economic dangers lurk both inside and outside the Republic.
Raspin came to power on the coat-tails of Prime Minister deRouen, but the two have had a serious falling out in the last five cycles. Using political allies such as Georges Hebert Xavier and powerful businessman Jan Mach, Raspin has been able to preserve his position. His alliance with Mach is tentative a t best, because Raspin considers him to be a long term danger to the nation's stability. In the short to medium term, however, Raspin sees Arron Logan as a much graver threat. Unfortunately, Logan is aware of Raspin's analysis and has planted an agent at his side in the person of Deputy Finance Minister Stephanie Leggo.
