James "The Bull" Lanttern was the 13th Chancellor of Nanteos and a former councilor of Southbeach. He was appointed by the council when his predecessor Carter Simms was assassinated. After serving out the rest of Cartter's term, the Freedom Party chose Lanttern to run for Chancellor for his own full term. He defeated Gloria Montell (the first woman to run for the Chancellery) and would rule until announcing he would no longer seek the office. He was succeeded by Sir William Hyatt
