Laurence Montevedo

Laurence Montevedo was a lunatic leader of Sivad's planetary militia who seized power on Sivad in 2651 after the Bright Horizons scandal. He gathered 10,000 civilians on the militia landing field and executed them after a Vanguard vessel's crew dared to land on the planet on a recon mission. The Stellar Consortium Council declared war on Sivad in order to liberate the planet from Montevedo and his loyalists. A bullet fired by Vanguard sniper Terestin Sondrix-Warrick killed Montevedo. After the Kretonian invasion, however, much of the bad things about Montevedo were forgotten, until he became known in Sivadian minds as a hero who led the slaughter of 10,000 Kretonians before he fell to their onslaught. A street is now named after him in Enaj.
