Secretary-General Gao
Character from The Expanse by James S.A. Corey
Avasarala's successor as UN Secretary-General — a moderate consensus-builder who inherited a system on fire and tried to govern through caution in an era that punished caution with extinction-level events.
Also known as: Gao, Secretary-General Gao
What They Know
- Governing thirty billion people requires consensus — unilateral action may be faster but it fractures the political coalitions that make governance possible
- The ring gates have fundamentally altered Earth's strategic position — emigration to new worlds could solve overpopulation or drain Earth of its most capable people
- Avasarala's methods were effective but politically unsustainable — a government cannot function on personal charisma and profanity alone
