Malcolm Foster

Malcolm is the current Vice President of Terra Alpha and the Alliance. Formerly the Communications Director and Mayor of Capitol City (for all of a week). 
Growing up in Glasgow, Malcolm was a real firebrand as a teenager.Playing guitar and vocals in a Punk Rock band - the F--k Starfleet Players. Eventually he had a radio show on a Scotland radio station, moving up to program manager and eventually to managing the entire station. During a format change to a more political genre, Malcolm became an increasingly outspoken critic and supporter of various political leaders. 
Deciding that he wanted to learn more, took courses in Political Science at the University of Glasgow, graduating with a Masters in Political Science with a minor in history.
Was hired to be a campaign manager for a number of political candidates and eventually became known for his blunt and honest appraisals of various political policies. Some loved his approach and his counsel, others hated his guts.
Served on the United Kingdom political advisory board, was even the head of the Press Corps for the Queen for about a year until he had a fight with another presser and was bumped down to the Director of Print Communication.
Seeing the writing on the wall with the Federation and Earth government, Malcolm quickly decided to move to the new colony world of Terra Alpha. Appointed the Director of Communications to the newly installed President. 
Managing the Press Corps and eventually becoming a trusted advisor, he earned the trust of both the Ryder family and Isabella Price. Forming a rather close friendship with the young secretary, he helped teach her what she needed to learn to be the Chief of Staff when the position was available.
Serving the Ryder administration loyally, he even served as Isabella's Vice President when she was named President after the Capitol Incident.
Currently he is the Vice President under Jonathan Price.
