Manfred Beriam

"Behind every coincidence, every stroke of luck, and every miracle, there is inevitably a cold and calculating mind."

- Senator Manfred Beriam

Congressman Manfred Beriam (マンフレッド・ベリアム, Manfureddo Beriamu) is a United States senator whose platform is staunchly anti-crime. He has close ties with the Runorata Family and Nebula, and despises immortality for reasons that are currently unknown.

In December 1931, his wife Natalie and their daughter Mary are taken as hostages aboard the Flying Pussyfoot by the Lemures, who want to force Senator Beriam to free Huey Laforet from prison.

Appearance
Manfred has neatly combed short blond hair and dark blue eyes. He is seen wearing a dark brown suit in the 2007 anime adaptation.

Personality
Senator Beriam is quite indifferent to social graces and seldom smiles in front of others. His remains aloof even when in the presence of other powerful and during election season.

He is a calculating man, and he has demonstrated a capacity for acting when it suits him -- such as when he pretends to be scared when Hong Chi-Mei breaks into his his office.
