Character Name: Shuos Mikodez
Series: Machineries of Empire
Age: 77
From When?: post-Revenant Gun

Warden Justification: Mikodez was the leader of a faction of a terrible space empire, and now holds a leadership position in a somewhat less terrible space empire. This demonstrates one of his most important qualities as a warden: he's willing and able to change his perspective and adopt new methods when he's given new information. He's also very good at understanding people and working with them, no matter how bad they are at working with others. He firmly believes that he should take care of the people he's responsible for, with an eye to their mental and emotional health. He knows what it is to try to do the best you can in a terrible situation and how to judge when things go too far and you have to take a chance to change things.

Item: His slate

Abilities/Powers: Mikodez is a standard human, for the standards of a society with incredibly advanced biotech (complete willingness to tamper with genetics) and where people living to 160 is routine. He's been thoroughly trained in killing and self-defense, and it's training he's kept up on as it's required in his job, with comments made on his skill with guns.

He's also very good at reading body language and has extensive experience using that and other cues to pick up information on people to manipulate their reactions.

Wardening Strategies and Philosophies:

Mikodez is a Shuos first and foremost, and the leader of the Shuos for over fifty years at that. He's a trained administrator and analyst with a deep appreciation for a properly functioning bureaucracy rather than for the drama that the Shuos are often accused of, but he still has the Shuos love for playing games and almost automatic social manipulation. On the surface, Mikodez will appear to adjust easily to the Barge, and it's not entirely faked. It will be strange to learn about other worlds, but he's good at picking up conventions and adopting them to whatever degree he thinks is useful.

Mikodez views being a warden as similar to his job as hexarch, on a much smaller scale. For him, that means he believes in giving them a chance to figure themselves out. He might not feel he can rehabilitate someone all on his own, but he can give them the opportunity to do it themselves. He believes in offering goals to focus on, and support on how to get there. He would be a good fit for an inmate who needs a warden who will keep track of them, and who will talk things through in terms of practicality.

Mikodez would not be a good warden for someone who needs a warden that will show a lot of emotions or who wouldn't manipulate them. Mikodez rarely shows any emotion other than amusement unless he thinks he can use it to his advantage, and social manipulation is simply how he interacts with the world. He thinks ethics are important, but his personal sense of morality involves a lot of cold calculation about what will save the most lives.

He's good at seeing through other people's attempts at manipulation, and can advise them on how to do better.
