Barnaby Costea

From Gineipaedia, the Legend of Galactic Heroes wiki

Captain Barnaby Costea was an officer in the Free Planets Allinace military who served as the commander of the Econia Internment Camp om 788 UC (479 IC / 3588 CE). For years, Costea had been embezzeling camp funds to a secret account in Fezzan. When Yang Wen-li was transferred to the camp in November of 788 UC (479 IC / 3588 CE), Costea feared that he was under secret orders to investigate Yang's wrongdoing.

Costea enlisted the aid of an Imperial prisoner named Presberg, promising him an early return to his home in the Empire, and orchestrated a prison riot. Costea quickly manuevered Yang into the prisoners' hands as a hostage, whom he intended to kill, along with Fyodor Patrichev, whom Costea intended to make the scapegoat for his crimes. Yang and Patrichev survived Costea's trap, and removed him from command. When Murai arrived at Econia to investigate the situation, Presberg testified against Costea, and he was placed under arrest.

Prior to his assignment on Econia, Costea served under Alliance hero Frederick Jasper during the Second Battle of Tiamat. (SL: 'Planet POW Camp')
