Callia: Second Foundation agent, and mistress to Lord Stettin of Kalgan, in which role she helped to engineer the military confrontation with the First Foundation which brought an end to the First Foundation's stagnation after the end of the Mule's rule. She was also involved in passing information to Terminus, via Arkady Darell, which misled the First Foundation into believing that the Second Foundation was located on Terminus. (12-II-12,13,14)
Calvin, Susan: Early Earth pioneer of robotics. Elijah Baley considered that Han Fastolfe's continual references to one particular story concerning Calvin suggested that he had unconsciously realised the nature of Giskard Reventlov's powers but that Giskard was using those powers to prevent that realisation reaching consciousness. (Liar!; 3-4-17,19-84)
Camrum: Lieutenant of the security forces at Trantor's embassy on Sark. (5-14)

Century of Deviations: After the appearance of the Mule, whose mental powers enabled him rapidly to conquer a large part of the Galaxy, the Seldon Plan was thrown into such disarray that it took over a century for the Second Foundation to make the Second Empire as envisaged by Seldon again a probability. It was the near-complete disappearance of deviations from the Plan which alerted Stor Gendibal to the fact that events were also being manipulated by Gaia. (13-5-18)
Channis, Bail: Member of the Second Foundation whose mind was reprogrammed as part of a plan to trap the Mule into overconfidence, and into believing that the Second Foundation was located on Rossem. Leading the life of an intelligent, ambitious and successful playboy on Kalgan, Channis' mental powers were spotted by the Mule, and he was sent with Han Pritcher to lead the Mule to the Second Foundation, but the double-bluff went unnoticed until the Second Foundation's First Speaker was able himself to condition the Mule into accepting their non-existence.

Comporellon: Planet in the Sirius Sector, limited in resources and with a harsh climate, colder than most inhabited worlds and on the edge of an ice age. An Associated Power of the Foundation Federation, exercising a considerable degree of independence. This was shown in its conservative attitude to morality and superstition surrounding Earth, although a more liberal and sceptical approach was tolerated among Comporellon's technocrats and academics. See Baleyworld. (13-12-44; 14-II)
Compor, Munn Li: Originally from Smyrno, recruited as a child by the Second Foundation, who trained him as an Observer. His mentalic training, though limited, helped ensure success on Terminus, where he became a long-standing friend and confidante of Golan Trevize, with whom he was elected to Terminus City Council as a result of a political crisis over the location of the Foundation's capital. The information on Trevize which he supplied to Mayor Harla Branno, and which helped enable to arrest and exile Trevize, was part of a plan to manipulate Trevize into going to Trantor hatched between himself and Stor Gendibal, who he had informed of Trevize's exceptional intuitive abilities. Suspected by Branno of being a Second Foundation agent, he was ordered by Branno to follow Trevize on his exile in order to report on the doings of Trevize and his companion Janov Pelorat and further to entice the Second Foundation out of hiding.
