Minister of the Left

The Minister of the Left is the highest ranking civil official and court counselor of the Kingdom of Hu.

The current Minister of the Left (given name Mandragora) is a wily Machiavellian counselor. Mandragora is of common origins (possibly the bastard son of a noble) and rose to his present rank through his talent and political machinations. He is an expert at managing statecraft, diplomacy and court intrigue.

Previously, Mandragora held the office of Minister of the Storehouses.

Mandragora ingratiates himself to figures in power or figures he believes will rise to power. He was an advisor and confidante of the Late Queen. After the King is taken captive in FD 5, Mandragora throws his support behind the Prince Regent. Mandragora is also the chief architect behind the system for managing the conquered provinces.
