Background
Thabo “Tony” Forster, born aboard the spaceship Last Frontier, is a fourth-generation ExoHuman with a storied political and military background. Known for his steadfast belief in human superiority and free-market values, he played a crucial role in the founding of the Individualist Party. After serving as a General in the Guarding Trooper Unit of the Volunteer Army of Man during the Great War, he became disillusioned with the Federal Confederation’s Peace Treaty and dedicated himself to representing Firetown in the political sphere. His nickname, “Tony,” serves as a lasting tribute to his friend Tony Giannini, who sacrificed his life to save Thabo's during a critical operation, embodying values that continue to guide Thabo's approach to politics.
Political focus
Thabo “Tony” Forster is a typical representative of the party of Individualists: he is in favor of a free market economy and against the restrictions on human growth laid down in the peace treaty.Moreover, he wants to go back to the monetary system.
Thabo firmly believes that the individual desire for improvement leads to greater prosperity for all. He sees the Native Tribes primarily as a primitive civilization that would benefit from human technological capabilities if they submitted to human leadership.
Public opinion
Thabo is considered the primary stakeholder for the Dark Side and Firetown. However, there are rumors that he is involved in illegal business with Jane Mendoza's gang and has created corrupt structures as mayor of Firetown that encourage the black market. The rumors have also given Thabo the nickname “Godfather of Firetown”.
Nickname "Tony"
The nickname “Tony” holds more significance for Thabo Forster than merely being an alias or an informal moniker. It serves as a tribute to a fallen comrade and friend, Tony Giannini. Both served together in the Guarding Trooper Unit of the Volunteer Army of Man during the Great War. On January 17, 2630, during a special operation, Thabo found himself in dire straits. In a courageous act of self-sacrifice, Tony Giannini saved Thabo's life at the cost of his own.
This pivotal moment had a profound impact on Thabo and led to his adopting the nickname “Tony” as an eternal memorial to his brave comrade. It's not just a personal remembrance but also an expression of the values and convictions for which Tony Giannini gave his life. These ideals of freedom and individualism continue to guide Thabo Forster in his political career as one of the founders of the Party of Individualists and in his opposition to the Communards and their policies.
