Tsun-chung Liao was a noble of Ito during the Jihad.[1]
History[edit]
Tsun-chung Liao was a distant cousin of the Chancellor Sun-Tzu Liao.
He was not typical noble, being an award-winning poet and an acknowledged expert in Capellan Confederation history, holding also double master's degrees in geology and mining.
He was also a martial artist, holding master ranks in three kung-fu styles, and was a noted practitioner of the jian, dao and staff. He was an expert marksman too, and was known to have hunted some of the most dangerous animals in the Inner Sphere.
He was an experienced mountain climber and had scaled the five highest mountain peaks in the Confederation.
His holdings include gold, gems, and metals mines and last year's Richest Nobles of the Inner Sphere ranked him fifty-first. Yet despite all the wealth, Liao was not a rich mandrinn. This was because he stresses safety and production goals, making his mines among the safest and most productive in the Inner Sphere. In addition he uses his wealth to make sure people under his rule are treated well, ensuring housing for the miners is more than adequate, that the towns are kept clean and that medical services are available. There is enough food for everyone, education opportunities are available, and there is a competent police force and court system. Even the militia is well-trained and equipped, as more than a few pirates have found out the hard way. Though this might have cost him some riches, this care has resulted in an incredible loyal population.[1]
