Luther Bliss

Luther Bliss was a Kentuckian who became head of the Kentucky State Police (some would say the state's secret police force) during the Great War. He was instrumental in persuading a rump legislature to petition for re-entry into the United States. During the years before the war, Bliss used his power effectively and ruthlessly to crack down on black Marxists and Confederate saboteurs. He left when Kentucky voted to rejoin the Confederate States, but returned to Covington during the 1941 war to coordinate sabotage missions against Confederate armed forces.

He had frequent run-ins with Cincinnatus Driver and Apicius Wood.
