Councilor '''Apol''' is a member of the [[Earth]]'s [[Computer Council]] in the 25th century.


Doctor '''Theopolis''' ('''Theo''') is a member of the [[Earth]]'s [[Computer Council]] in the 25th century. Theo is known for his logical and thoughtful approach and, unlike other of his computerized class, holds humans in high regard. His primary function is as an intermediary between the Computer Council, Doctor [[Elias Huer]], and select members of the [[Earth Defense Directorate]]. Amongst his other duties, he is also responsible for the environmental control within [[New Chicago]].
In [[2491]] CE, he presents the [[Federal Directorate]]'s case against {{buck}} following the discovery of a [[microtransmitter]] aboard ''[[Ranger 3]]''. Despite Dr. [[Theopolis]]' defense, the Council is unanimous in its decision, which Apol presents: Rogers' immediate termination. A stay of execution is later advocated by Col. [[Wilma Deering]], and presented to the Council by Dr. [[Elias Huer]], which is accepted despite Apol's protest {{BR25|Awakening}}.


Due to Theopolis' lack of built in ambulatory features, he is carried by a [[drone]]-type [[ambuquad]], [[Twiki]].
== Notes ==


In [[2491]], Theopolis debriefs [[William Rogers|William "Buck" Rogers]] following his return to Earth in ''[[Ranger 3]]''. Following his debriefing, Theopolis acts as Rogers' defense from charges brought up by the Computer Council after discovering the [[Draconian]] transmitter aboard his craft. Despite his logical assumption that they would find him innocent, he is astonished when his fellow Concil members find Rogers guilty of treason and sentence him for execution {{BR25|Awakening}}.
* A subplot depicted in the [[Gold Key]] comic adaptation of the ''[[Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (film)|Buck Rogers in the 25th Century]]'' film notes that Apol had been the one betraying the human race, as [[Kane]] had been involved with its programming before his defection to the [[Draconian Empire]]. Apol itself is subsequently terminated.

The State's case is elemental: Captain Rogers piloted a foreign aircraft through our defense network with a microtransmitter revealing our secret shield borders to our enemies. "What price?" you may ask. "What bounty would Captain Rogers consider just in selling out the human race?" Only his pirate friends can answer.

 — Councilor Apol presents their case against William "Buck" Rogers for espionage and treason, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century's "Awakening"

Councilor Apol is a member of the Earth's Computer Council in the 25th century.

In 2491 CE, he presents the Federal Directorate's case against William "Buck" Rogers following the discovery of a microtransmitter aboard Ranger 3. Despite Dr. Theopolis' defense, the Council is unanimous in its decision, which Apol presents: Rogers' immediate termination. A stay of execution is later advocated by Col. Wilma Deering, and presented to the Council by Dr. Elias Huer, which is accepted despite Apol's protest (BR25: "Awakening").
