Alexander Thurmond, Lord.

Lord Alexander James Hoover Wilson Bacredi Thurmond is the Lord Governor of the Kingdom of Lianna colony of Rothesay, and the third cousin of Donald Bacredi. The position of Lord Governor is a purely ceremonial title which was purchased by Thurmond for 200 million Croussins. Thurmond was born on the planet of New Alexandria, where his father owned a 10 million acre plantation that employed 20,000 farmers and workers. Thurmond's father was eventually the Lord Governor of New Alexandria, and then eventually put his farm into the range of 40 million acres. 40,000 more workers were hired for the farm's 30 million extra acres. Thurmond grew up on the farm, but at the age of 13 moved to the family's penthouse apartment on Lianna, in Lianna City. He passed through school and attended the University of Rhodesia, a few systems away. His family also owned a house there. There, Thurmond majored in environmental law.

He became a leading environmental attorney in his time, and within twenty years he was a partner at the leading law firm "Rhodesia's Sterling, Cooper, Dryer, Pross, Thurmond." His father soon passed at the age of 102, and Thurmond became a member of the Lianna House of Lords and inherited nearly 400 million ICs, already adding to his own mass of wealth. He resigned from his post at the Rhodesian law firm, and immediately began attending meetings at the House of Lords. He became the Lord Governor of Rothesay after he paid the massive sum to the Lianna government for the Lord Governor's mansion: which was 66,000 square feet itself. He adopted the title of "Lord Governor and Viceroy." He took almost all the powers out of the position of Viceroy and transferred it to the Rhodesian Ministry, which is a part of the Chancellor of Lianna's cabinet.
