and used as a shield by Bean to defeat Salamander Army.
    Crazy Tom was promoted to Tactical School and a week later was given command of one of Ender’s unseen squadrons during the exams (that were truthfully real battles) at Command School.
    After returning home, Tom, along with the rest of Ender’s final army, was kidnapped by former Battle School student and serial killer Achilles Flandres. He was taken to Russia and forced to participate in war games with his fellow prisoners. He was soon separated from his colleagues and taken to a secret location elsewhere in Russia. There he continued to participate in the war games, which were used as training for Achilles’s ever-growing army.
    None of the captives was allowed to have physical interaction with the others. They could write and communicate via e-mail, but nothing else was permitted. Achilles allowed him, and the rest of the prisoners except Petra, to be rescued.
    Over the next couple of years, Crazy Tom became a military teacher in Sandhurst, teaching strategy to future soldiers. He was approached by both Hyrum Graff and Peter Wiggin, and invited to leave Earth and its political instability and travel to space where he could begin a new life at a human colony.
    As Peter built the Hegemony into the Free People of Earth, Graff again offered Ender’s colleagues the opportunity to leave Earth and govern a planet. It was his fear that Ender’s army would be used in the worldwide conflict, manipulated by whatever political power rose to prominence, and he wanted to prevent that. Every member who received the offer, which did not include Han Tzu, Petra Arkanian, or Alai, said no. The others were already too involved in matters on Earth to leave.
    Christao/Cristã, Dona Detesai o Pecado o Fazelo Direito (SD)
    Dona Christao was a member of the Catholic Church’s order called Children of the Mind of Christ on the planet Lusitania. She taught at the localschool and helped place children in their careers. She was on friendly terms with Pipo, and used that relationship to determine if a prized female student named Novinha could take the xenobiologist certification test earlier than the usual age.
    Dona Christao was also married to Dom Cristão, and together they led the Catholic order the Children of the Mind of Christ. She, with her husband, helped Ender Wiggin learn about the people of Lusitania so he could better Speak about their deaths.
    She was one who attended the meeting with the governor to discuss the Starways Congress’s absorption of the planetary computer files. She also attended Ender’s Speaking ceremony, learning of Novinha von Hesse’s adulterous relationship with Libo Figueira.
    As with the other important meetings, she was present when it was decided that, to protect Miro Ribeira from prosecution, and to protect other planets from the Descolada virus, Lusitania would rebel against the Starways Congress.
    Cristão, Dom Amai a Tudomundo Para Que Dues vos Ame (SD)
    Dom Cristão was the one of the chief religious leaders on the planet Lusitania. He was the Abbot of the Catholic monastery, which housed an order of the Church known as Children of the Mind of Christ. He was married to Dona Cristão.
    He brought comfort to Libo and his family when Libo’s father, Pipo, was killed by the native Lusitanian creatures, known as the piggies.
    The Bishop, who was a semirival, asked Dom Cristão for his help in ridding Lusitania of the scourge of a Speaker for the Dead, Ender Wiggin. However, Dom Cristão saw value in what Speakers did, and instead helped Ender prepare to Speak.
    When the Starways Congress began absorbing Lusitania’s files, Dom Cristão noticed and began printing out on paper their most important files. With the governor’s aid, he then transferred the bulk of the files into Ender’s open computer storage, trusting Ender to return the files later.
    He attended the Speaking for the Dead that Ender performed on behalf of Marcão Ribeira, and was
