Raja Mondanian
Minister of Culture
Born and raised in Petropolis, Raja Mondanian joined The Twin Pillars political party in TN 1918 after retiring from the chaplain service of the Norlight Armed Forces. When Ali Rayas, the mayor of Petropolis, became the leader of The Twin Pillars party the following cycle, Mondanian knew his party had a real future. Over the next five cycles, he became one of Rayas' most important supporters and organized grass-roots "circles" of Twin Pillars voters. In TN 1924, Mandanian was elected to Congress. Six cycles later, after having proven himself an adept political negotiator and won his seat a second time, he was nominated to the Chamber of Valeria and took up the mantle of Minister of Culture in the second Adjanni government.
Mondanian is disillusioned with The Twin Pillars' alliance with Kathe Adjanni's People's Party. The rise in Southern aggression over the last five to ten cycles, the ongoing revolution in Basal and drastic increase in violent crime in the NLC have convinced the Minister that the time has come for the NLC to take more drastic actions, both at home and abroad. Within his own cultural mandate, Mondanian fully supports the Revisionist revival of Thor Hutchison and has initiated several policies to promote religious activities in daily life. He also wishes to introduce a new round of morality legislation to impose more stringent limits on broadcast media, but he is frustrated by Adjanni and Ali Rayas' refusal to support these plans.
