Nick Strathclyde
Chief of Staff Nick Amadeus Strathclyde is the current Chief of Staff to his nephew, Senator David Srathclyde, and a Conservative Party affiliated President of Lianna City, which he withdrew after a series of expense scandals. Nick Strathclyde was born into a family of privilege 58 years ago—his father was a high ranked military official and his mother was a Lianna City Councilwoman, and their family was helped financially by Strathclyde's uncle, who was a Senator in the Lianna Senate and former banking executive. Strathclyde had a rather uneventful early life—he was mildly popular in school, never had any trouble with the ladies, and got modest-enough grades to eventually be accepted into the University of Archite. He performed shoddy in the school, having a 2.015 grade point average, but eventually graduated with full honors and a degree in Political Science—following the long line of people in his family that have received degrees from varying universities for PS.
Strathclyde's father offered no help for him to get a job, saying that "I found one on my own—now you have to!" He forbid his family from offering Nick any financial help, and basically cut him off from the family funds. It was rather strange since his father just signed a piece of paper and was let into the army, so he never really found a job. Nick also immediately found a job, but this time at the Political Consulting Firm Lianna Defense Consult. He quickly moved up the ranks, and within 20 years he had established himself as a master of congressional races and the way to change the races tide quickly. He was chosen by the campaign of Lianna City President Aaron Bloomfield to be a campaign manager. Bloomfield, a Liberal himself, was denied by the Conservative Strathclyde, who instead opted to run for the position himself. Lianna City voters denied Bloomfield another term and granted the next term to Strathclyde. Strathclyde served out a period of unrest in Lianna, and after his resignation was given a spot as his cousins Chief of Staff.
