He was promoted to the position of Secretary after his proposed script for Admiral Duchess and Steadholder Honor Harrington's 'execution' found favor with the Committee of Public Safety. As Secretary of Public Information, his office handled the political and public fall out of Harrington's escape from the Haven prison planet Hades and Admiral Amos Parnell's testimony in front of Solarian Assembly of Human Rights.
During Esther McQueen's attempted coup, Boardman was captured and held captive in the Octagon, Haven's military headquarters. Subsequently, he was among those killed when Oscar Saint-Just detonated the thirty megaton nuclear explosive in the Octagon's basement.
