Rush Townsend, once the visionary and magnanimous chancellor of the Republic of Fireboro, abdicated his position after the Chaos Empire's conquest. Rather than flee into exile, however, Rush chose to remain in the republic's capital city.
His main concern is not reclaiming chancellorship, but rather the welfare of the republic's citizens. He coordinates delivery of essential supplies to the needy, ensures safe havens for refugees, facilitates underground educational initiatives—everything within his power to lessen the burden of the empire's yoke.
