=== Her view of Chief Justice Loreni ===
Hannah Sikura and Xavier Loreni have been rivals since their joint university days. Both were members of the leadership of the Students Union of Enn, but had opposing viewpoints - Sikura has always supported democracy and the People's Assembly, while she regarded Loreni as being a creature of the Council. She has freely said that back then she despised him.
+
Justine Engard has a healthy respect for Xavier Loreni. For a time they worked together as advisors to the Council, prior to Destabilisation. Information apart from this is hard to come by, as Mrs. Engard remains tight-lipped about her personal views towards her fellow triumvirs.
Over the years they have known each other, Sikura has gained a great respect for Loreni as both a politician and a person. She admires his loyalty to the Council in the days of Destabilisation, and is glad that she is still able to work alongside him.

=== Her view of Lady Faren ===
"Yssandra Faren is a snake", "I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her". These are among the many colourful quotes attributed (but never proved) to Hannah Sikura about Yssandra Faren. It is true that they have never got along well - Sikura opposed Faren's appointment to the position of Consul to the United Nations. Sikura has conceded that Faren employs great cunning, and is a masterful political player.
+
Mrs. Engard has never trusted Lady Faren, but respects her ability to maintain control. They come from such widely different backgrounds - Mrs. Engard as a working-class democrat, Lady Faren as the autocratic heiress to the Lantari estate - that it is no wonder they differ on many issues. However, since becoming Chairwoman, Engard has refused to comment on this apparent schizm.
Many political analysts believe that this schism between Sikura and Faren will continue and grow, and may end up destroying the Triumvirate completely.

Xavier Loreni has made few public comments about the new Chairwoman, apart from his speech at her inauguration, when he praised her tactical mind and persistancy. He appears to have taken his cue from the Chairwoman, and says little on personality matters.
Loreni respect for Sikura today is well known, and it is agreed that they work well together to govern Enn.

The Triumvirate of Enn

The Triumvirate is the governing body of Enn. Information on its specifics can be found at the entry on Enn. This entry is devoted to the members of the Triumvirate and their various intrigues and power plays.

Chairwoman Justine Engard

Justine Engard is the elected leader of the People's Assembly. She is charged with overseeing the day to day running of Enn, as well as passing legislation to better the nation. She was a strong supporter of the Council/Assembly system, and maintains her strong authoritarian stance on many issues. She is well respected as a dangerous opponent throughout Ennish politics. Chairwoman Engard was elected to the Chair on the 11th of September, 2005.

Her view of Chief Justice Loreni

Justine Engard has a healthy respect for Xavier Loreni. For a time they worked together as advisors to the Council, prior to Destabilisation. Information apart from this is hard to come by, as Mrs. Engard remains tight-lipped about her personal views towards her fellow triumvirs.

Her view of Lady Faren

Mrs. Engard has never trusted Lady Faren, but respects her ability to maintain control. They come from such widely different backgrounds - Mrs. Engard as a working-class democrat, Lady Faren as the autocratic heiress to the Lantari estate - that it is no wonder they differ on many issues. However, since becoming Chairwoman, Engard has refused to comment on this apparent schizm.

Chief Justice Xavier Loreni

Xavier Loreni is the Chief Justice of the High Court of Enn. He is charged with overseeing and adjudicating the legal disputes within Enn. He rose to prominence as a champion of the Council during Enn's withdrawal from the UN, and served as Council spokesman on International Affairs. While he is not seen as popular, many Ennish say that they support him.

His view of Justine Engard

Xavier Loreni has made few public comments about the new Chairwoman, apart from his speech at her inauguration, when he praised her tactical mind and persistancy. He appears to have taken his cue from the Chairwoman, and says little on personality matters.

His view of Yssandra Faren

Difficult to say. Loreni championed Faren in her quest to become Consul to the UN, but abandoned her once she gained that position. He has always remained much more guarded with his private views of Lady Faren then Sikura has.

Lady Yssandra Faren

Yssandra Faren is an enigma. Rising from nowhere to become Consul to the UN, then revealing during Destabilisation her incredible (some would say unbelievable) amount of personal wealth, she is not generally trusted by the Ennish populace. However, she has gained a grudging respect as a great orator and political mastermind. It has been revealed that her wealth comes from being the only heir to the estate of Daviel Lantari, the inventor of the Ennish Shandy, Enn's chief export. Recently, Lady Faren has been showering her cousin Stephano with gifts, and some analysts wonder whether she intends to set him up as her heir, both to the family fortune, and to the Triumvir's seat.

Her view of Justine Engard

Unknown. Lady Faren never responded to any of Mrs. Engard's remarks while the latter was just a member of the Assembly, and keeps her silence now Justine is a fellow Triumvir.

Her view of Xavier Loreni

Again, unknown. She has always cooperated with his judgements, and has not made any remarks that would reflect badly on the Chief Justice.


As such, the Second Triumvirate appears to be far more settled than the fraught First Triumvirate, when Hannah Sikura worked as Chairwoman.
