Mayor Indbur III (Foundation and Empire). He was a one time ruler of the Foundation. His grandfather, Inbur I, seized power and was described as brutal and capable. He removed the last remnants of free elections, and his father Inbur II, was described as only half of Indbur I: he was merely brutal. Mayor Inbur III was described as having neither trait, and as 'a bookkeeper in the wrong job'. He was obsessed by order and detail, and lacked the ability to see the bigger picture.
He dispatched Captain Han Pritcher to investigate taxes on Haven, an order the Captain ignored. He also met with Ebling Mis who alerted him to the fact a Seldon Crisis was about to occur.

“Without infringing on the liberty we so much boast, might we not ask our professional Mayor to call upon the smokers, have them register their names in each ward, and then appoint certain thoroughfares in the city for their use, that those who feel no need of this envelopment of curling vapor, to insure protection may be relieved from a nuisance as disgusting to the olfactories as it is prejudicial to the lungs.”
—Harriot K. Hunt (1805–1875)
“The Empress is Legitimist, my cousin is Republican, Morny is Orleanist, I am a socialist; the only Bonapartist is Persigny, and he is mad.”
