Editing Admiral Gogol Ramirez (section)

== History ==

Admiral Gogol is a recently selected choice of the Central Comittee of the Free Republic for the Free Council.  The head of the Department of the Navy, Fleet Admiral Gogol Ramirez is not the head of the Amanian military but wields substantial military as well as political power.  Many believe he is the natural choice to become People's Speaker when the current one (Speaker Judith A'Haydith) dies.  Others would prefer to see the country burn to the ground first before they allow him to rise to such an exalted position.

Admiral Gogol is about as close as you get to being a liberal in the Amanian government.  Only his prestigous war record and the fact that he keeps the true radical nature of some of his beliefs secret keeps him from being executed by the more radical elements of the government.  His own troops love him, though, and would gladly fight a Civil War on his behalf.  This is due to the fact that he usually brings victory and doesn't expend them like cannon fodder (a common practice thanks to the Amanian 'People's Comissars' that exist to shoot anyone who retreats or dissents).

Admiral Gogol does not know he's marked for death by SMERSH.
