About Kodell[]
Liono Kodell was the Director of Security for the Foundation Federation on Terminus during the administration of Mayor Harla Branno. Known for his affable yet cunning demeanor, Kodell was Branno's most trusted confidant and strategist. His expertise in manipulation and intelligence operations made him instrumental in maintaining the Foundation's stability during periods of political crisis.
Kodell's most significant action involved the exile of Golan Trevize, a Councilman who publicly questioned the survival of the Second Foundation. Kodell and Branno orchestrated Trevize's expulsion under the guise of treason, but their true objective was to use him as bait to confirm the continued existence of the Second Foundation. Kodell ensured Trevize was monitored by assigning Munn Li Compor, a fellow Councilman and secret agent, to track him. This operation highlighted Kodell's ruthless pragmatism and unwavering loyalty to Branno's vision for the Foundation.
