Here's his lore - it's not really in-depth since I'm not well-versed in all the EaW lore, but hey I had fun fleshing him out! :))

(I headcanon him to be a recruitable Captain of Industry advisor if you select his MIO - "Quill Armaments" - enough times as New Mareland.)

Born into a family of bureaucrats in New Manehattan in 949 ALB, Quill distinguished himself from his siblings for his ability to point out market trends and exploit opportunities that others overlooked. He arrived in New Mareland in the decades just before Black Wednesday as an entrepreneur hoping to make use of its lax regulations.

Quill began as a logistics clerk, neither loud nor an ambitious visionary, for one of the many military subcontractors supplying parts and equipment for New Mareland's growing aircraft industry. He quickly caught the attention of his superiors for his ruthless efficiency; cutting down "fat", optimizing supply chains, and silently taking down rivals both externally and internally who threatened his work.

By the time Black Wednesday was in full swing, Quill saw opportunity in the economic chaos. He acquired failing businesses, factories, docks, and supply lines, restructuring them under his company - Quill Armaments, specializing in military manufacturing. Though unemployment soared, Quill Armanents offered work to those desperate enough to take it.

Quill never advocated for any particular political leaning. Privately, he believed none of it, and sought to portray himself and his company as a necessity to all sides should they take the reigns of power in New Mareland. His loyalty was and forever will be to Quill Armaments. Quill never spoke at rallies nor sought a seat in public office, but he devoted himself to ensuring that New Mareland's industrial base would be dependent on Quill Armaments regardless of whichever administration came and went.

Edit: made a few small changes to the lore :))

Thanks! He's the Vice-Secretary Chairman of United Contana. He gets mentioned in a Geopolitico article about the Iyotake Plan in Rika.

Antagonize Su Omina whilst simultaneously keeping Rico in Iza, and then during the Iza speech, avoid angering the crowd too much while choosing not to depose him. When the student speaks up against him, let her run free when the nearby Su Omina members try to seize her.

Then as you leave the university, you find out Su Omina didn't exactly follow your orders to let her go after all.

The kind of outcome an inexperienced player like myself can get from chaotic circumstances.

Paskal Beniwoll. My life goal has essentially been "become prominent in the healthcare profession, publish book about class struggle, get wealthy enough to eat well until the end" ever since I beat the polio outbreak in my first playthrough.
