George D. Sinner was born the scion of North Dakota political dynasty, the great-grandson of the last Democratic-NPL governor of the state. While he toyed with going into politics himself (being a leading voice in local protests surrounding the Night of Rage in 2039, which is also where he met elven cultural activist Danielle Linden, his future wife), but was persuaded by the increasing privatization of government functions that the way to effect change was through business, which was quickly taking the place of government in almost every walk of life and switched his minor in architecture to his major.

After several years working in Chicago and Indianapolis, he returned home to Fargo is the early 2050’s to start a family. Danielle began teaching at Lindenwood Elven School. He worked first for Schultz + Stroh, a local architecture firm before being headhunted personally by the Old Man himself (also a former ND governor, although with the other party) to join KUD’s Planning department in 2055, supervising a young Helen Ness among others. Through the mid and late 50’s he rose quickly through the ranks, under the Old Man’s patronage. At the time, many thought he might be setting George up to succeed him at the Group.

However, with the Old Man’s increasing isolation through the 60’s, George, now Jr. Vice President for New Construction, found himself increasingly in competition with his former subordinate Helen Ness, now Assistant Chief of Operations, the two young rising stars clashing. During the ‘New Broom’ initiative of late ‘64 and ‘65, the Old Man withdrew almost completely from the Group and Ness leverage her now almost-sole access to him into gaining the coveted title of Chief Operations Officer. George was made Vice President of Development and Construction, just under the C-suite. He now worked for Ness. And its where he’s stayed for the last twelve years.

Over the last decade and change, George has been the architect of the physical shape of the Block, working to the directions of Helen Ness. Its well known that he and Ness have quietly been butting heads over architectural principles for years, with him altering the plans given him and her having to send in her own crews a week later to put it back the way she decreed. For many, he’s been the touchstone for criticisms against Ness and the direction of KUD under her. Sure, there’s been rumors of him abusing his position overseeing the constant construction on the Block, but there’s rumors like that about most of the upper levels of management, and others say that if he had been on the take Helen Ness would have pounced on him years ago.

The last few months have seen a lot of changes. Both his wife and Ness were killed in the events of the Solstice Blackout. The love of his life and his greatest rival wiped out in a single evening. George has been pretty much running silent since then, not making any statements to the media, skipping board meetings, no new building initiatives, just letting ongoing projects continue. His staff say that he doesn’t even come into the office three days out of five and when he does, he's not really engaged...
