Nils Girardieau was leader of the second human government on Resurgam, after that lead by Dan Sylveste. His administration came to power in a coup as the tide of opinion turned against the near-exclusively archaeological agenda of Sylveste's government, a conflict that had been brewing since before the prior coup when Alicia Sylveste and her co-conspirators took the Lorean from Resurgam. The Girardieau regime was the first drawn up along Inundationist lines, although it proved too reformist for elements in society represented by the True Path inundationists and was itself overthrown in a coup, which included the assassination of Nils Girardieau at the wedding of his daughter Pascale Sylveste nee Girardieau to Dan Sylveste by poison-bearing peacocks genetically modified from chickens.
