MEET THE CAST OF TIO
Each week we bring you an interview with one of the leading players in the Independent Orders role play world. This week the new Secretary General of the Commonwealth Treaty Organisation
Name: Charles Foster Ofdensen
Description: Close friend of the Rokkenjiman Imperial Family, former Lord High Steward and Chief Steward of the Imperial Household of Rokkenjima, Manager of Dethklok, Owner of Crystal Mountain Records
Question 1) What's your favorite pizza topping?
Hawaiian.
Question 2) Sticking with food what's your food heaven and food hell?
My food heaven would be Rokkenjiman cuisine, whilst my food hell would be a day's worth of Nueva Ardian dishes.
Question 3) What was your favorite subject at school and why?
History, although math comes in at a close second. Without history one is incapable of understanding the present, or preparing for the future.
Question 4) Snog, Marry, Avoid- Renee Sandiego, Matilda Ironside, Quanil Laat?
Snog Matilda Ironside, Marry Quanil Laat, Avoid Renee Sandiego
Question 5) You get to ask a genie one question. It doesn't matter what you ask, but you will get a 100% honest and truthful answer – what would you ask?
When will Alex outgrow his puberty and calm down some?
Question 6) At home what do you do to unwind?
On a typical evening I put on a record, bring up a bottle of brandy or wine from the cellar depending on my tastes for that evening, and I'll throw in a little bit of paperwork depending upon the business of the day.
Question 7) What are your favorite book and film?
My favourite book would have to be The Collected Works of Edgar Allen Poe, while in film I very much enjoy The Princess Bride. It is a timeless classic.
Question 8) Who do you consider to be your closest friends outside Rokkenjima?
Outside of Rokkenjima I haven't built many friendships, but I'd like to think I have many excellent professional relationships with leaders from each corner of Mundus.
Question 9) What does the Lord High Steward of Rokkenjima actually do?
The Lord High Steward is one of the Great Offices of the First Empire. It is the official job of the Lord High Steward to support his Empress, and while the portfolio of the Office is less detailed than that of Vicegerent it entails similar responsibilities.
Question 10) What words of advice do you have for your successor as Lord High Steward?
Much like Mr. Carpenter stated to me when I succeeded him as Secretary-General, there isn't much I could have in the way of advice for Mr. Kuzumi. He is a man widely respected throughout Rokkenjima, and the breadth of his knowledge is respectable. As a former servant of the Empress' mother, I am certain there are things he could advise me upon.
Question 11) Will you be retaining the services of the secretary that your predecessor Tim Carpenter appointed?
I have no plans to replace her at this time, although I may bring on some of my associated staff from Pyrena Castle to assist in my duties at the Palace of Nations.
Question 12) What do you hope to achieve as Secretary General of the CTO?
I hope to bring the same spirit and dedication I've shown as Lord High Steward to the Office of Secretary-General, being a part of solutions, bridging differences between nations currently opposed to each other, and generally increasing understanding upon the international stage. The Secretary-General has a variety of options at his or her disposal, and can act in a capacity which I don't think any world leader can due to many reasons.

ROKKENJIMA EXPRESSES CONCERNS OVER ORIENT According to a report released by the Imperial Council at the request of the Empress the state of human rights have been questioned in the Orient. "While progress has certainly been made the state of human rights throughout the Orient remains a matter of great concern, especially in regards to gender equality and LGBT rights."
