Later, while at her home visiting with her grandchildren she receives a call from Gloria Tannenbaum who informs her that Admiral Nguyen is quietly sending more ships to Ganymede. She then informs them to continue to follow him until he tries to leave and then detain him. After her meeting Soren gives her a report informing her that a surveillance team has been following James Holden since he and his crew landed on Ganymede. However Jules-Pierre maintains a cool professionalism and denies knowing anything else. During the meeting she tries to pry any information from him that he may have left out about Venus during the hearings of Protogen. After lunch Soren gives her background on Jules-Pierre Mao, of Mao-Kwikowski Mercantile with whom she's about to have a meeting. Later, Avasarala is reading a report on Venus during lunch when Soren informs her of Admiral Nguyễn position of being in charge of the Martian delegation. Afterwards she calls her husband, Arjun telling him she'll be late. She fills him in on the meeting and the status of Venus from a report by Michael-Jon de Uturbé. Once back at her office she has a call with her boss Sadavir Errinwright. On their way back to her office she tells him to essentially spy on Admiral Nguyễn. She tells them to find a way to make it work, as she leaves with her personal assistant Soren Cottwald. The first post for Insecure Writer's Support Group.“We are not alone” - Spoilers for Caliban's War follow.Īfter the events of the Ganymede incident, Chrisjen attends a meeting with Admiral Nguyễn, Admiral Souther, General Adiki-Sandoval, General Nettleford and Mike Agee on whether they should accept a meeting with Martian Congressional Republic.I am going to talk about The Expanse books and the.The Expanse Profiles: Chrisjen Avasarala.The Expanse Profiles: Detective Josephus Miller. If you are intrigued, you can see more of TenshiRisu's art HERE. Second, she's always eating pistachio nuts, so there should have been something along those lines in the picture. For one, Chrisjen is always described as wearing these bold and beautiful sari's. I don't think that the artist did a very good job of nailing the character. An Artist by the name of TenshiRisu visualized Chrisjen Avasarala as looking like this picture (inset above and to the right). This was a decent starting point for this character and made it so that she could ascend to Secretary-General of the United Nations in Nemesis Games after Earth is destroyed by rocks hurled by belter terrorists from outer space. You kind of need to get used to seeing it on the page in any chapter that you read.Ĭhrisjen starts out as the Deputy Undersecretary of the United Nations, which is the second most powerful position on Earth. The things that we do know about her are that she's 1) a skinny and short grandmother, 2) she's Indian by decent, and 3) she swears like a sailor (preferring the "f" bomb to just about any other swear word). The dialogue does all the heavy lifting, which ends up being a decent tool through which to visualize people as it allows your imagination to fill in the details. I was kind of surprised by this, as I thought she would have made an appearance in the story much sooner.Ĭhrisjen is light on description, as are most of the details in The Expanse books. However, she doesn't actually make her appearance until book two of the Expanse published works entitled Caliban's War. In the Expanse television series we meet the diplomat Chrisjen Avasarala in the first episode.
