Warran Hunard
Chancellor
As a scion of Zagazig's wealthiest family, head of Wententhal University and one of Terra Nova's greatest minds, Warran is an important figure in the city. A small rotund man, bald with thick glasses, he seems a typical academic. His published works, however, cover such diverse topics as "Secretions of the Greater Southern Aquatic Scrag" and "On the Tuning of Drag Racing Engines" and reveal him to be a true renaissance man. He is a familiar figure on the NLC lecture and talk show circuit, expounding on a bewildering array of topics without any seeming relation to one another.
His duties as chancellor are increasingly burdensome as he struggles to keep the peace on Wententhal's divided campus, and placates the city government over student antics. He also serves as an advisor to President Adjanni and has enough clout to deflect most criticism. Hunard has been forced to expel both radical and conservative student ringleaders to quiet matters, however. Now, this even-handed response may be his undoing. Father Tevric. the University Chaplain, has complained about pious, patriotic students being expelled for opposing atheist delinquents. He is pushing for greater Church input into administration and the curriculum. Warran foolishly ignored the threat Tevric represented and now has serious political difficulties in Valeria, the city council and University Senate.
