Frank A. Posen (October 3rd, 1885 - May 22nd, 1945) was an influential Belhavian Imperial Senator, politician, and a major conservative political figure in Belhavia during the 1920s, 1930s, and early 1940s. He was a powerful Federalist leader known for his outspoken traditionalist conservatism and 20th-century Belhavian jingoism.
Posen was a major political figure inside the Imperial Senate between the 1920s and early 1940s, and passed a number of bills with his name on them into law during this period. He was the long-serving chair of the prestigious and potent Senate Foreign Affairs Committee. By the early 1930s, he had made a political alliance with the young rising star General of the Army, Zachary Galarian, and served as his political advisor and friend.
He played an important behind-the-scenes role in the 9/5 Coup, and served Galarian in his Autocracy regime as Foreign Minister from 1940 until 1944. In the immediate aftermath of Galarian's fall in the Stein Coup, Posen attempted to flee Provisa for his home-province of Raffen. As he was leaving the city, however, he was detained by anti-Galarian vigilantes and summarily executed.
In the 1960s, his legacy was partially rehabilitated by many historians due to his successful legislative achievements in the 1920s and 1930s.
