Grodon Orpar Playt III (1186 AG-1172 AG) was an author, statistician, and some time military theoretician. He was also a Planetary Governor of Stormstile. He left his governorship to accept a CHOAM directorship and as his career suggests, he possessed a prodigious intellect. During his service in that capacity he heard of the work of Albans and personally encountered several Mentats.
