Leopold Kaplan is the retired General of the Army of the Federated Westbloc Alliance, an old man who hated the Precrime and wanted to destroy the system. It was he who falsified the majority report to prove that the precogs were false and the whole system is wasteful and because of it many innocent people are in prison. He is cunning, self-confident and cruel, his desire to get the authority is infinite, he was happy to put on his general suit again: “For this event Kaplan has got his old uniform from its mothballs. Straight and impressive, he stood surrounded in what had been his general stuff. He wore his service bars, his medals, his boots his decorative short-sword, and his visored up. It was amazing how transformed a bald man became under the stark potency of an officer’s peak and visored cap.” But his self-confidence made a bad joke with him – being so close to his aim, he has forgotten that he was standing near the man who was going to kill him, which was a huge mistake. Kaplan dies and the system, he wanted to ruin, is still living and prospering.
