Jaquelin Erhart
From Lost Realm
Jaquelin Erhart is the head of Relforsia's Board of Trade, the aggressive Electorate board that regulates Relforsia's trade industry. She appears to head the board democratically, but really rules over it with an iron fist. Nothing gets passed without her approval. IF a large order of stone for rebuilding Tirius needs ordered, she has to approve it.
Jaquelin started out her political career as the Elective represenative for a relatively small coastal town by the name of Tigrul. She proposed the formation of the Trade Board several years before the Conquest of the Fist and helped passed it to the Council, who quickly approved it as trade was becoming more and more worrysome to them, and they passed all but the most important trade issues to the board. For her help, Jaquelin was selected to head the board.
For a few years, things moved as they were supposed to. The Electorate passed trade legislation to the board, and the board either approved or rejected it. Jaquelin slowly started letting her position get to her ego, and started consolidating power unto herself. She made many controversial moves, such as disallowing trade with Pontra, to severely raising the price of Steel Fist imports after Steel Fist broke away from Candrim.
There currently is talk to remove the severely aged diplomat from office.
