Jens Story was a popular and often controversial figure within the Rutanian political scene. In the early 3290s, Story came to national prominence when he launched an effort to expel all illegal immigrants. He soon gained a great following and in 3291 he ran for the Liberal Party's presidential nomination. He secured over a quarter of the vote. In 3301, Prime Minister Jacqui Moir appointed Story to the cabinet as Minister of Justice. He served in that capacity until 3308.
