Galen Cox (Jerrard Cranston)
Originally a Lyran officer in the 12th Donegal Guards, Cox became Victor Steiner-Davion's Adjutant and close personal friend. He evacuated Victor against the Prince's will from the debacle on Trellwan (Trell I) and again served as Victor's adjutant in the 10th Lyran Guards. He fought under Victor's command in the fighting on Twycross, Alyina, and Teniente before being appointed Prince's Champion by Victor upon First Prince Hanse Davion's death in 3052.
On April 16, 3056, on Solaris VII, Katherine Steiner-Davion told him that the next time he saw her brother Victor, he should ask him for her hand in marriage. He was believed killed in a bomb assassination ordered by Ryan Steiner, on April 20 3056. In reality, MIIO agents had linked his fiancée, Katherine, to the bomb assassination of Melissa Steiner-Davion, and in turn discovered the warning passed on to her by a mole she had placed in Ryan Steiner's staff. MIIO agents were able to spirit him out of the building just before the explosion.
Cox re-emerged into public life several months later after undergoing cosmetic surgery to disguise his real identity. Under the alias of Jerrard Cranston, he became the new head of MIIO following the second retirement of Quintus Allard.
He accompanied Prince Victor into exile following Katherine's coup against Regent Yvonne Steiner-Davion. He was formally appointed Director of Intelligence for the Star League Defense Force later the same year.
At the conclusion of the Federated Commonwealth Civil War, his true identity was publicly revealed.
