  R. Daneel Olivaw - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Under the guise of Eto Demerzel, he becomes the first minister to galactic Emperor Cleon I.
As Hummin, he convinces Seldon that Cleon's first minister Eto Demerzel is pursuing him and that it is imperative for Hari to escape and to try making psychohistory practical.
Demerzel appears again briefly in the epilogue to Forward the Foundation, which says he was one of the few in attendance at Hari Seldon's funeral.

 Prelude to Foundation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hari then meets reporter Chetter Hummin, who convinces him that Cleon's first minister Eto Demerzel is attempting to capture him, and that it is therefore imperative for Hari to escape and to try to make psychohistory practical.
Thus, Hari goes on his "Flight" and is introduced to Dors Venabili by Hummin.
The finale reveals that "Hummin" is actually Cleon's first minister Eto Demerzel, who we later learn is in fact the robot R.

 Cleon I - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation Cleon I   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Demerzel became aware that Seldon could possibly develop a mathematical method for predicting future history, and he (indirectly) informed the Emperor, who took an immediate interest in the matter.
While Cleon was content to use Seldon as a source of self-fulfilling prophecies—a tool to prevent unrest—Demerzel had come to believe that the Empire itself was dying, and that only an honest investigation could prevent its fall or at least minimize that fall's effects.
After Demerzel's retirement, Cleon appointed Seldon to be his new Chief of Staff, a position now termed First Minister.

 Prelude to Foundation by Isaac Asimov
This is undoubtedly due to the skills of his Chief of Staff, Eto Demerzel, who so carefully obscured himself from public record that little is known about him.
Demerzel frowned slightly, but only very slightly, for one does not frown in the Imperial presence.
Demerzel said, "I believe I did, Sire." His eyes were watching the Emperor carefully, as though to see how far he might go on his own.

 Cleon I   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Arguably, the most significant event of Cleon's rule occurred in 12,020 GE, when the young mathematician Hari Seldon came to Trantor and revealed that psychohistory was a theoretical possibility.
Cleon would never have learned of this development by his own efforts; insulated from the Galaxy and confined to the Imperial Palace's grounds, he relied upon his able Chief of Staff, Eto Demerzel, to conduct the Machiavellian maneuvers required to keep the Empire functioning.
(Prelude to Foundation states that Demerzel had no formal title, while its sequel, Forward the Foundation, makes him the First Minister—a minor inconsistency as far as the Asimov canon goes.) Seldon exerted himself to the fullest, employing pragmatic measures to halt anti-Imperial conspiracies while simultaneously developing psychohistory into a system capable of making solid predictions.

 The History of the Positronic Robot and Foundation Stories, 1989-1993
However, Seldon's research is disturbed by the appearance of a demagogue named Jo-Jo Joranum, who seeks to depose and replace Eto Demerzel, the Emperor Cleon's first minister and Seldon's patron.
However, when Demerzel is able to demonstrate conclusively that he is a human being (no easy task, since he really is a robot), the blow to Joranum's ambitions is fatal.
Unfortunately for Seldon, Demerzel chooses to resign as first minister, and Cleon appoints Seldon himself to replace him.

After being taken to Wye, where Rashelle's attempted coup was pre-emptively defeated by Demerzel, he deduced Daneel's true identity, and realised that a practical psychohistory could be developed from the cosmopolitan social milieu of Trantor itself.
Raych was later adopted as a son by Hari, and when the growing popularity of the Joranumite movement began to pose a threat to the position of Eto Demerzel as First Minister, he was sent into Dahl to investigate Laskin Joranum.
There he succeeded in convincing Joranum that Demerzel was a robot, a double-bluff which led to Joranum's public humiliation and eventual exile.

 Forward the Foundation (1993)
The novel spans the period after Seldon learned who Eto Demerzel was.
Seldon enjoys the protection of First Minister Demerzel and the benign attention of Emperor Cleon I. The first part deals with the rising threat of the demagogue Joranum (JoJo), whose populist slogans find ready audience with the apathetic Trantorians.
His movement is busy mounting a challenge to Demerzel himself, who is unable to quash it violently on account of the Zeroeth Law.

 Books I've Read
Seldon's theory attracts the attention of Cleon I as well as his First Minister, Eto Demerzel.
The plot twist at the end with Eto Demerzel was also a nice touch.
This book was well received by fans of the original Foundation series as well as the science-fiction community in general and it is easy to see why.

Disrupted a Joranumite meeting being illegally held on University grounds which resulted, ultimately, after Eto Demerzel left office, in his appointment as Imperial First Minister; a post he held for ten years.
It is worth noting that Seldon's old friend, former First Minister, Eto Demerzel attended the event although his grand-daughter, Wanda, didn't.
It is said that Hari Seldon left this life as he lived it, for he died with the future he created unfolding all around him.

 Prelude to Foundation (1988)
The Emperor is the first to try to recruit Seldon and get it to "predict" the glorious rule of his dynasty in the future.
When the mathematician stubbornly insists psychohistory is just theoretical, the Emperor apparently releases him but under the surveillance of the sinister Eto Demerzel.
I had my suspicions from the beginning: that episode with the two thugs simply did not ring true; why would Eto ever arrange this was unclear despite the unconvincing explanation.

 Forward the Foundation by Isaac Asimov
Yugo was one of the four people he had encountered during that short period of his life when he was in flight across the face of the planet Trantor--Eto Demerzel, Dors Venabili, Yugo Amaryl, and Raych--four, the likes of which he had not found since.
He said, "This concern for Demerzel cannot be purely a matter of his being a friend of mine.
However--if Demerzel lost power, quite apart from the effect it might have on your position, then Cleon himself would be running the Empire and the rate of its decline would increase.

Cleon I, who through skilled demagoguery attracted a following among the planet's underclass in an attempt to replace Eto Demerzel as First Minister to Cleon.
After Hari Seldon discovered him not to be from Nishaya as he claimed but a Mycogenian breakaway, he encouraged him publicly to denounce Demerzel as a robot.
When this was "disproved" by Demerzel himself, the public humiliation led to the collapse of the Joranumite movement and the exile of Joranum to Nishaya.

 Forward and Backward with the Foundation
The revelation that Chetter Hummin is the same as Eto Demerzel is an effective plot point (I didn't anticipate it, though I was convinced Hummin was not a journalist), but it does leave the main plot as an oddity-- a virtual plot.
Half the dangers turn out to be artificial: Demerzel was really just arranging a suitable Grand Tour for this promising young academic.
Demerzel's fraud undermines it a bit, but only in retrospect.

 Review of Prelude to Foundation
Prelude to Foundation is the story of Hari Seldon’s arrival on Trantor.
He gives a paper describing the (still theoretical) science of psychohistory and is surprised to find that the Emperor and his First Minister, Eto Demerzel, are interested.
When a journalist meets Seldon and suggests that Imperial interest means personal danger, Seldon finds himself in a pell-mell flight across Trantor trying to hide from sight and figure out of psychohistory can be made a practical science.

It consists of a series of four stories, each taking place at a different time in the life of the mathematician Hari Seldon.
The first story ("Eto Demerzel") begins about eight years after the end of "Prelude to Foundation." Seldon's work on his mathematical theory of psychohistory is going slowly.
He finds that he has to assist the First Minister of the Empire, Eto Demerzel, in defeating a populist demagogue.

Good highlight is Eto Demerzel's character - his comeback.
