Charles Chase is the Chancellor of the Alliance. He is not a king, or a ruler, or a monarch of any kind. He is a leader. A leader of many worlds, many kings, many rulers, and many monarchies.

From his childhood friend to the daughter of the leader of a most hostile civilization, he meets the best of the best and the worst of the worst.
