Nicolai Venn
Mediator Party (already a satirical home run), three quirky senators who hold it together, a “gracefully aging JFK Jr.” (straight-up catnip for conspiracy brains), and then your trillionaire — not Musk, but a composite INFJ-ish tech-nerd who can’t find a political home because he tried to straddle both sides and got scorched.
Born elsewhere (Europe? South Africa? Up for grabs), came to America chasing the dream.
Early Dem darling: championed green tech, universal internet, space travel.
Backed MAGA at a critical moment, thinking it would stabilize markets. OOPS.
Both parties turn on him.
Awkward, medicated, twitchy — often misread. Accused of a Nazi salute when he was really just stretching.
At heart, a gentle INFJ-like nerd who just wants to help humanity.
Funds the Mediator Party as a last act of redemption, quietly becoming the unlikely hero behind the scenes.
💡 Caption under his portrait:
“He built rockets, not alliances. But maybe this time he’ll get America off the ground.”
Occupation/Role: Tech genius, world’s first trillionaire, Mediator Party bankroll

He doesn’t look like salvation. He doesn’t act like it, either. Nikolai Venn is clumsy, soft-spoken, and eternally misunderstood — the kind of genius who knocks over his water glass at every press conference. But when you’ve invented enough technology to become the world’s first trillionaire, people stop laughing and start listening.
At first, Democrats adored his green-tech breakthroughs. Then came the disaster: Venn backed a MAGA candidate, believing he was “healing America.” Both parties turned on him overnight. A shaky gesture at a rally — just him nervously fixing his glasses while hopped up on beta-blockers — was misread as a Nazi salute. Now he’s loathed by the left, abandoned by the right, and the loneliest rich man alive.
His answer? The Mediator Party. He’s not trying to run the world — he just wants to balance the equation. And if that means betting his trillion-dollar fortune on the impossible dream, so be it.
Quote Box (Easter Egg style):
“Money can’t buy happiness. But maybe it can buy America a conscience.”
(Casey:) “The only trillionaire who still shops at IKEA.”
“I don’t want to rule. I just want the numbers to add up.”

Occupation/Role: Tech visionary, world’s first trillionaire, financial backer of the Mediator Party.
Segments: Parallel Universe.
Bio: Born in Northern Europe, Nikolai rose from math-nerd obscurity to invent world-changing technology that made him the richest man alive. At first, Democrats adored him for green tech breakthroughs. Then he backed a MAGA candidate (thinking he was helping “heal the divide”) — and both sides turned on him. Rumors of a Nazi salute at a rally (actually him nervously adjusting his glasses while on meds) didn’t help. In truth, Nikolai’s a gentle, brilliant, anxiety-ridden misfit who just wants America to stop tearing itself apart. Funding the Mediator Party is his penance… and his final gamble.
Quotable:
“Money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy an entire political party.”
(Casey:) “The only trillionaire who looks like he still shops at IKEA.”
“People think I betrayed them. I just… miscalculated the denominator.”
(Critics:) “Is it genius, or is it autism with unlimited credit?”
“I don’t want to run the world. I just want to balance the equation.”
