Allistair Tenpenny

Allistair Tenpenny was a retired Falleen politician who previously served as a member of parliament for the Popular Republican Movement. He was the founder of Tenpenny Tower, an upscale hotel tower in Farrulli. Tenpenny Tower's financial success made Allistair the wealthiest Popular Republican politician ever to serve. He was also the first Popular Republican Treasurer before resigning in 579. Tenpenny retired from politics due to advanced age and declining health at the conclusion of the 575-582 wartime parliamentary term. 
===Politics===
Allistair Tenpenny was part of the centre-right Budget Hawk Caucus of the Popular Republican Movement, and his political views were generally conservative. He was a longtime member of the Falleen People's Party (including when it was known as the Liberal Conservative Party under James Folson's leadership). After the People's Party stopped functioning, Tenpenny did not join another party until 574, when he signed up and was approved to run as a Popular Republican candidate. He saw PRM as a flexible and moderate political party without the nationalist baggage that the Falleentium Moderate Party was known for. However, due to his age (Tenpenny was 79 at the time of his election; 86 when he retired) and due to the fact that the Third World War delayed the subsequent Falleen Federal Election, Tenpenny only served one term in parliament before retiring. Tenpenny did not leave politics altogether, however; though he would not stand for election again, he hosted the 582AER Popular Republican National Convention at his Tenpenny Tower.
Tenpenny died peacefully in the company of his family on March 8th, 584 (age 88).
