Lyor Boone Ms.C, Ph.D, is the current White House Political Director, hired by Emily Rhodes in 2016. He is portrayed by Paulo Costanzo.
A highly intelligent but socially inept genius, Lyor is brought into the White House to coordinate a political 'battle-strategy' for President Kirkman going forward. Though he comes off as boorish, insensitive, rude and somewhat odd and disconnected to strangers and his colleagues alike, Lyor is nonetheless a highly accomplished and effective operator who has helped the White House fend off a number of potentially devastating incidents.
Very little of Lyor's early life has been delved into to date; he had a difficult upbringing owing mostly to his strict, perfectionist father who continually pushed him to do better. He attended Space Camp every year when he was young but never succeeded in building the best model rocket. His early education is a mystery but it is revealed that he ...
Lyor established himself as what was described in the political arena as a 'mercenary/troubadour'; a political strategist/consultant with no party ties or allegiances who traveled the country looking for work and never staying in one place for longer than was necessary though he was adamant about honoring commitments until the very end. Not long af...
In 2016, Lyor put forward his name for the position of White House Political Director and following a trial day, was officially hired by President Kirkman despite initial misgivings from his senior staff due to his odd personality and behavior. He later filled in as acting Press Secretary for Seth Wright. Emily Rhodes managed to help Seth back into...
Lyor is a blunt, sarcastic, acerbic and calculating individual with a razor sharp wit and a deadpan sense of humor. He is not afraid of speaking truth to power and is always quick to point out the shortcomings of others especially when making a point. His extremely high intellect allows him to verbally spar with virtually anyone for as long as he likes, demonstrating a honed ability to think on his feet and formulate arguments very effectively. He is somewhat lax about recognizing when he is exasperating those around him or when his actions come across as strange, unnecessary or even counterproductive and therefore surprised whenever someone points this out to him.
As an operator of the White House, Lyor is both frowned on and admired by his colleagues for his brutal honesty, his unusual work-habits, lack of social skills and his strange workplace preferences. Lyor however more than makes up for this by coming up with ingenious solutions to various problems, his dedication to his job, his loyalty to the administration and his exemplary work-ethic. As PD, Lyor's perpetual first priority is safeguarding the President and enacting initiatives to shore up his poll numbers and defend him against criticism. At the same time he is not shy about pointing out the failings of the administration and how much damage they cause.
