Personality

The President is proud, politically calculating, and highly protective of Australian sovereignty. He initially treats defeated enemies with contempt, demands allegiance from captives, and reacts furiously when Australia is threatened or humiliated. 326 353 394

He can also be cautious when force would create unacceptable risks. He abandons an assassination idea against Zhang Xueming because he cannot be certain of the outcome, and he uses a false show of cooperation to maneuver Japan into a disadvantageous position. 373 425 426

His leadership changes as Australia becomes increasingly dependent on Zhang Xueming. He backs major research programs, personally reassures scientists and civilians, and ultimately commits Australia’s resources to Zhang’s projects. At the same time, he privately fears that this reliance will cost Australia its autonomy. 369 401 472 499
