Gargathe Jarrade Oro (ProfessorOro) is a Vinish politician and attorney who is the 24th and current President of Vindex Nation. A member of the Liberal Party, he previously served as the 24th and 30th Attorney General under Presidents Kidey Barclay and A. Tyler, respectively. He has also served a multitude of terms in Congress, and as a District Court Judge.

Immigrating to Vindex Nation in 2015 under the username arisalanna, Oro explored all the country has to offer, particularly gaining employment into the Department of Health and Human Services, where he earned his M.D. in General Medicine at the Seawall College. Dr. Oro then decided to change professions to do something that would allow him to see the city more, so he became an Emergency Medical Technician. It was on this job that Gargathe started to see the crime that riddled the streets of the city, and he wanted to do something about it, so he became a police officer. This kicked off a long and rocky career within the Department of Justice. Oro failed several times and was terminated from the Department at various points throughout his career, but he was often rehired into the Department after consideration of the circumstances. Around 2020, Oro began to achieve a stable career in justice and politics, going on to serve a variety of positions and achieve a large number of items. He is also a practicing attorney with a Juris Doctor from Seawall College. Other degrees Gargathe holds are a BA in Political Science, BA and MA in Criminal Justice, and an AA in Culinary Arts all from Seawall College.

Department of Justice Career

Around 2020, Oro started seeing more success in the Department, serving a variety of roles. After being a beat cop and SWAT member for a while, he found his passion in the Criminal Investigations Division, where he worked on a variety of cases and gained expertise as an investigator. He achieved the rank of Senior Detective under Head Detective Ryo Holo, and Gargathe Oro started to train incoming detectives in essential field and investigation skills. Oro is known in particular for his expertise in interrogations and information gathering. Finding that he enjoys training others, Oro sought to be a member of the Training Department, and was appointed to the rank Chief Training Officer under Police Chief NAME. Oro served this office twice more in the future, when it was renamed to Lead Trainer. He was known in particular for his long, but thorough, trainings of cadets and junior detectives. He also oversaw the transition from the old Police Academy to the new model in Downtown.

When Kidey Barclay was elected, Oro briefly served as his Chief of Staff until Attorney General Johnathan Lewis was terminated, and Oro was appointed to replace him in December 2021. Attorney General Oro worked to consolidate the Department of Justice leadership team, and replaced several leaders over the course of a month. Warden Brock O'Leary resigned, and was replaced by Sherlock Holmes, a close relative of Tony Ramone. DEA Administrator A. Tyler also resigned and was replaced by Nick Delacour. Taylor Collins was the Police Chief during Oro's tenure, but due to conflict between the Police Chief and President Barclay, Gargathe Oro fired Collins by surprise during a press conference at the White House citing insubordination and disrespect, naming Will Fairweather acting Police Chief. Collins was eventually rehired by Oro after negotiations between all parties involved. Oro established membership caps on specialized divisions, which include the Drug Enforcement Agency, Criminal Investigations Division, and SWAT. Of final note, Oro redesigned a large section of the DOJ Headquarters interior, and appointed Amaido Goodman to District Attorney. In late January, Oro was terminated from his position by surprise by President Barclay at a press conference, and replaced by Jim Gordon.

During Oro's third and final tenure as Chief Training Officer, he came into conflict with the Department of Defense, specifically the Army, over a jurisdictional dispute around Fort Irwin's borders. Attorney General Lander reassigned Oro to the post of District Attorney after a period of negotiations, where he completely overhauled the prosecutorial process. He streamlined the process for getting cases to court, and oversaw many notable convictions, including the owner of a large cocaine farm. Gargathe Oro later served as the 47th Police Chief from September 10, 2023 until his appointment to Attorney General on October 25, 2023. He was appointed to Police Chief by Attorney General Zackary Lander on a two-week trial basis, however because of increasingly low national population, not much was accomplished by Chief Oro. He appointed Brody McLallen to the position of Deputy Police Chief, and downsized the entirety of the leadership team in order to reflect the country's declining population. When Lander resigned, the Department of Justice was left without leadership for about a month, due to President A. Tyler's reluctance to promote Oro to the position.

When Oro was appointed to Attorney General for this second time, he overhauled the DOJ Discord, attempting to make it much more consolidated and user-friendly for both staff and members of the public. He established a range of policy that include conduct as well as establishing a direct flow of information from investigative agencies to the Office of the District Attorney. Oro took a tougher stance on crime than most other Attorney Generals in history, using a slogan "#ToughOnCrime". He sought relatively high fines and sentences in courts, directed investigative agencies to take a more aggressive approach to criminal investigations, and fiercely defended firm criminal laws and laws that empower justice employees. Oro was additionally highly successful in court at defending the Tyler Administration's policies from various challengers and political opponents. Gargathe appointed Brody McLallen to Police Chief when he was appointed, but later replaced him with Tony Ramone, citing inactivity. Ramone appointed three deputies who led different divisions of the Vindex Police Department. Benjamin Anderson served as Oro's DEA Administrator, John Smith as District Attorney, and John Warosa as Warden. The Department of Corrections was originally suspended, but it was unsuspended upon the recruitment of Warosa. It was primarily used to enforce criminal sentences and assist officers in holding and transporting suspects. Oro also began, but never finished, a database system that provided valuable insight in the criminology of Vinish career criminals. Arrest logs were made limited access during this time, and those seeking criminal background knowledge on others was required to file a request for this information. A records manager, Nick Delacour, was appointed to oversee these requests. Near the end of Oro's tenure, he announced his Presidential campaign, and resigned from Attorney General upon winning the early 2023 Presidential election. The Department of Justice under Oro's second tenure was seen in an overall positive manner, but was negatively received by many career criminals.
