Hiram Defoe

From Turtledove

Hiram Defoe was the postage minister of the North American Union and Sir Martin Luther King's chief political fixer. It was said that if he didn't know everything and everyone, then he made a good game try of not letting on. As postage minister, he was the political head of the NAU's postal system.

He accompanied Sir Martin Luther King on the train trip from Victoria to New Liverpool when The Two Georges was stolen.
