Edward Callosity, Ambassador.

Ambassador Edward "Ted" Callosity (born Jackson Heathrow) is the second uncle of Zhar Bacredi and the brother of Hans Heathrow, Earl of Stockton. Callosity, much like his brother, went on to the Heathrow Academy where he excelled, and soon joined the Liberal Party of Heathrow Academy—which was, for a lack of a better word, small. The Conservative Party of Heathrow Academy had thirty or so more members than the Liberal Party did. His political views conflicted with his brother's views and his parent's views, both of whom were devout Conservatives. Callosity then left the academy to pursue a college career at the University of Oxfordshire, a college that was on the planet of Lianna. After passing through the college and being offered a job by a high profile law firm, he cut off all ties with his family and legally changed his name from Jackson Heathrow to Edward Callosity. Callosity went on to become Chief of Staff to the Deputy Director of Advertisement at the law firm.

By the time his parents passed on, Ted was a high profile lawyer in the Lianna scene, making an estimated 1.9 million credits a year. He was approached multiple times by Liberal and Labour Party leaders to run for Parliament—which he vehemently denied. He continued to work harder and harder, until he became addicted to pills—which has never been disclosed to the public. He was given a hefty severance package from the law firm once they learned of his addiction, and they also paid for rehab—which he soon attended. After attending rehab and getting clean, Callosity petitioned the Liberal Party to allow him to run for a seat in the Lianna Senate. He was elected to the Lianna Senate in a stunning victory in the former "safe" Conservative Seat. He was subsequently looked at by Chancellor John Crawford, a former Senator himself, to become Ambassador to Denon from Lianna for his Chancellorship. He petitioned Ted to accept, which he eventually did, and Ted was confirmed by a full senate hearing.
