**Senator Thalin Daiboros** was the recently elected representative of the city of Xiros on the Ionian Senate. He was introducing sweeping reforms to the law enforcement and justice system that are causing waves across this prosperous Qethosian city.

## Description

### Appearance

Thalin Daiboros was an older elven man with sallow skin. He usually wore a condescending look upon his angular clean-shaven face. His shoulder length hair is a steel-grey with some signs of lighter grey in places. He wears a set of fancy clothing consisting of a purple suit jacket with a red collar over a ruffled white shirt. He also wears a set of purple robes, complete with a mantle of pleated purple fabric decorated with sinuating spirals and silver trimming at the ends, and a pair of silver epaulets.

### Personality

Not much is known about the senator's personality. However, his brief interaction with Logan Horn showed a notable condescending attitude towards the detective, offering not so much as a word. Whether others share in this scorn is as of yet unknown, but it is clear the senator is a rather aloof individual.

## History

### Background

Nothing is known of Thalin Daiboros' history at this time. It is likely that he is a long-time resident of the city of Xiros, if not born there.

### Elected Representative of Xiros

At some point, Thalin became involved in Qethosian politics within Xiros. His campaign proved successful and he was elected to serve as the city's representative on the Ionian Senate, the main governing body for all of the planet of Io. This appointment also gave Thalin considerable authority over the running of Xiros.

Not long after his induction as Senator, Thalin began implementing overhauls into the law enforcement of Xiros. This manifested mainly in the cutting of 15% of the officers of the Xiros Defense Force, the protectors of the city. In Thalin's eyes, Xiros was experiencing a time of peace and the excess of officers was costly and unnecessary. In addition, Senator Thalin also began to implement legislation for the reintroduction of the death penalty for those who committed capital offenses. This would include most inmates in the maximum security prison suspended below Xiros, known as the Vault, with its longest resident, the dhampir Victor von Cicero, being the first on death row.

## Phase 3 Story

### Cutting the Force

Senator Thalin arrived at the XDF Headquaters in Xiros to bring his reforms to the attention of its senior staff. The meeting was attended by the captain of the force and Sergeant Keagan Egott. During this meeting, the senator informed them they would be laying off a large number of their staff, something that deeply bothered both prots. It was established that the senator wanted as much of long-term staff, probation officers or any troublemakers off the force as possible. He also informed them of the impending return of capital punishment.

With the meeting concluded, the senator exited the office, only to be intercepted by Detective Logan Horn. As a decorated veteran of the force, Logan was one of the officers Thalin wished gone. The two briefly exchanged a cold stare in silence before the senator went past Logan and headed out of the building to carry out the rest of his day.
