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
