Claude Monteil (800 UC (2 NIC / 491 IC / 3600 CE))
Gender:	Male
Affiliation:	Free Planets Alliance
Occupation:	Treasury Manager
Played by:	Anan Kenji

Claude Monteil (Japanese: クロード・モンテイユ) was the National Treasury Manager during the Rebelo Administration. When the New Galactic Empire occupied Heinessenpolis at the end of the Second Alliance–Imperial War, Imperial troops demanded to inspect the records of the national assets of the Free Planets Alliance but Claude Monteil refused to cooperate, stating that only tax paying citizens of the Alliance had the right to make such a request. He stated government officials had a responsibility to do their duties in accordance with the laws of the Alliance and their own conscience. He was frankly honest in saying he valued his own life but still said he had to perform his duty of public service as a government official. (LOGH: 'The Edict of the Winter Rose Garden')

Legacy

Claude Monteil was one of the idealistic government officials that still held to the original founding ideals of the Alliance. Their passive resistance to the New Galactic Empire angered Imperial troops but Reinhard von Lohengramm praised them and declined to punish them, saying that if they had not been confined to middle or low ranking positions the Alliance would not have perished.
