Truman Jyeong

Truman Jyeong is an employee of the Keeler Trust and Companies, and one of the most senior members of Bernadette Keeler's inner circle. Jyeong is a polymath, with expertise in business operations, intelligence operations, armed and unarmed combat, medicine, viniculture, and 66th Century Emeishan poetry. 
Jyeong was born on the planet Republic. He trained to be a physician but decided not to pursue certification as working within the Ministry of Medicine did not appeal to him. He migrated to Loki as part of the Republic Interstellar Diplomacy Mission to Loki. Residing in the City of Pandaemonium, he worked as an intelligence operative for Republic's Ministry of Interstellar Diplomacy under the cover story of Trade Analyst. He was trained in espionage and counter-intelligence by the secretive Republic Order known as the Notorium, and became a Centurion in their organization. Occasionally, his work required him to steal data from other worlds and sabotage the diplomatic and commercial operations of the world. 
In Solar Year 7372, he was approached by Bernadette Keeler who was in full knowledge of both his real function and his cover story. She offered him a generous salary if he would come and work for her with the position of Vice President for Expansion in Commonwealth Worlds. Ostensibly, she wanted him to use his combined abilities at trade analytics and intelligence to help her expand business holdings in worlds belonging to the New Commonwealth of the Galaxy. However, she was also interested in his assistance for the clandestine projects of the Keeler Trust and Companies. Jyeong negotiated an enormous salary, compiled an enormous amount of information on various Notorium Operations that the Republic desperately did not want released, and joined the Keeler Trust and Companies. By SY 7382, in his role as Executive Deputy, he was the overseer of all KT&C clandestine and secret operations. He also expanded the Keeler Trust and Companies Medical and Pharmaceutical Operations in the Perseus, Ara, Columba, and Equuleus sectors. 
In the process, Jyeong amassed an enormous personal fortune valued in the billions of Sapphirean Bucks. He purchased several vineyards on the planets Furlong and Dawn Tufra and began to plan for his retirement from the Keeler Trust and Companies. After privately reviewing multiple candidates, he began grooming potential successors, including Joelon Tomcufcik. (Free Worlds stories "Triton Lyra" and "Aerona") Bernadette Keeler's nickname for him was "Suzy."
