[edit] Dr Lewis Pirenne
Chairman of the board of trustees of the Foundation of the Encyclopedia Galactica on Terminus, about fifty years after its establishment. Salvor Hardin eventually takes over when it is clear that the Foundation needs to be led by a politician rather than a scientist.
[edit] Anselm haut Rodric
The sub-prefect of Pleuma and Envoy Extraordinary of his highness of Anacreon. He visits the foundation to offer it protection in exchange for other services. A veteran of several conflicts with the kingdom of Smyrno, he is an image of the beginnings of barbarism within the periphery of the galaxy during the fall of the 1st Galactic Empire. haut Rodric was tasked with informing the rulers of the Foundation with the true intentions of the Kingdom of Anacreaon, and to determine the scope and nature of the Foundation;s control of Terminus.
[edit] Jord Fara
A member of the board of trustees of the Foundation of the Encyclopedia Galactica in its early years.
[edit] Lord Dorwin
Part II of Foundation. He is a representative of the Galactic Empire, and arrives on Terminus in response to their appeal for military support. He has previously negotiate treaties with neighboring systems that grant them autonomy.
Lord Dorwin has an interest in the origins of the human species, trying to determine if it began on a single planet, and, if so, which. He mentions 'Sol', Sirius, Alpha Centauri, 61 Cygni and Arcturus. Since humans still used Earth's day and year (as mentioned in Second Foundation), it seems odd that Earth's status can be in doubt.
Salvor Hardin secretly records what the man has said. Discovering that the man has spent five days supposedly negotiating, without actually saying anything.

One of Salvor Hardin's advisors and friends.
[edit] Sef Sermak
