Georges Bouchan

Georges Bouchan was a character in QIA.
== Biography ==
Bouchan was a member of the Echelon and the President of the QIA, up until his removal and subsequent murder.
In September 2020, Bouchan ordered Erik Draper, a fellow member of the Echelon currently serving as the Director of the London Hub, to bring Void prisoner Adam Solomon to Geneva for 'research' purposes. However, this effort failed as Erik allowed Brent Hall - who had somehow come to know about the arrangements and ambush the convoy - to take Adam, in order to save the lives of Magdalena Solomon and others. ("Magdalena").
This, among other anomalies, prompted Erik to believe that Bouchan was actually working for, or at least secretly financing, Hall and his operations. Since this was in fact true, Bouchan quickly worked to pin his treachery on others, including Kara Mildner and Erik himself. Bouchan attempted to turn the tables on Erik by using Emil Salastas' evidence (which Bouchan had manipulated) and proposed to strip Erik of his position and put him on trial. He would have likely succeeded had he not unwittingly signed the paperwork admitting Enora Gallou as the newest member of the Echelon; Gallou was then able to provide evidence (obtained from Anna Vogel in London) that Bouchan had been behind everything. After this, even his staunchest supporter Xiang Ling turned against him, and Bouchan was removed of his own position and placed into confinement. Shortly after this, however, he was visited by Sophie King who, under orders from Hall, shot and killed him, something that took him very much by surprise. ("Life")
Later, while investigating Jarrad Foley, the London Field Team discovered that Bouchan had recently met with Foley in Vienna (despite Foley being supposedly dead); the two of them were heard arguing loudly in French, including about "the Crimson Emerald". ("Death")
