Editing After The Storm:NonPlayerCharacters (section)

===Martin Ackerman===

The borough president of Brooklyn: An overweight white man in mid 50s, a former banker. Ackerman is not a very visible figure. While he attends all the important events and gives interviews, he is a highly conservative person and a firm believer in status quo and not rocking the boat, so he rarely says or does anything particularly meaningful. On the other hand, he is careful never to say or do anything offensive either, and many voters see him as a figure of stability and a safe candidate. His main interest is in supporting the growing business in Brooklyn, but any negotiations he does to that end is largely done out of public view, and since he rarely takes either credit or blame, it is hard to say anything about his success rate.
