Pritcher studied at the Academy of Sciences, majoring in hyper-engineering. He became a Captain in the Foundation Navy , focusing on intelligence and Espionage , but something of a rogue character. He was twice decorated for bravery, being given the ''Order of Merit for bravery beyond the call of duty''. He had a problem with authority, which limited his career somewhat, and was marked as insubordinate, and as not maintaining a correct attitude to superior officers. He was a member of the Democratic Underground on Terminus , which might be part of his espionage role. Pritcher was ordered by Mayor Indbur III to investigate the non-tax payers of Haven , but instead chose to see what was happening on Kalgan , contrary to orders. He helped Toran And Bayta Darrell with the escape of ''Magnifico Giganticus'', the clown (AKA the Mule ) from Kalgan. He initially opposed the Mule and tried to assassinate him, but the Mule was able to convert him into one of his most loyal followers, following which Pritcher was promoted to Colonel and eventually rose to the rank of Lieutenant General . He led six unsuccessful searches for the Second Foundation ; on the final one, he was accompanied by Bail Channis as the Mule suspected the conversion had detracted from his natural intuition. His later history is alluded to briefly in the second part of Second Foundation. He succeeded the Mule as First Citizen of the Union of Worlds, and he besieged Terminus for a time. However his attempt to hold the Union of Worlds together did not last long, although it is not clear exactly what happened to him. |
