Plantagenet

paranoid authoritarian resilient defensive fearful skeptical procedurally rigid institutionally loyal controlling under pressure
Plantagenet is the nominal leader of the Frontios Colony, whose fragile authority is enforced through military order and rigid subordinates like Brazen. While he presents as the colony's leader, his role is heavily dependent on institutional control and procedural rigidity, often aligning with Brazen's agenda to suppress dissent, whether through interrogating dissenters like Range or dismissing local myths as fabrications. His authority is both nominal and enforced, balancing between maintaining colony stability and institutional loyalty.
