A tiny, fierce elderly Earther missionary running Ganymede's relief depot with dictatorial efficiency.
Santichai Supitayaporn is an eighty-year-old Earthborn missionary of the Church of Humanity Ascendant who, with his wife Melissa, runs the Ganymede relief depot. A frail wisp of a man in swirling orange robes, he is a natural-born dictator of logistics — he dresses Holden down over his port altercation, jabs a finger in his face, and furiously demands to know why the OPA promised 22,000 kilos of protein but delivered under 12,000, insisting one should promise only what one can deliver. Beneath the browbeating is fierce devotion to feeding people first.
A frail, tiny old Earther man of about eighty with thinning white hair, sticklike brown fingers, wearing loose orange robes.
Co-director of Ganymede's relief depot; the crisis's exacting humanitarian conscience.
