  Golan Trevize - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Golan Trevize is a fictional character, a major figure in two books in Isaac Asimov's Foundation Series: Foundation's Edge and Foundation and Earth.
Trevize was a citizen of the First Foundation (or Foundation), which was founded by Hari Seldon on the planet Terminus when the Galactic Empire was crumbling.
Throughout the quest, Trevize had felt that the two postulates of Psychohistory (the number of humans must be large, and unaware of the predictions made by psychohistory) were not the most basic postulates necessary for Psychohistory to make accurate predictions.

After all," and here Trevize felt a sudden twinge of trouble, which he forced himself to disregard, "it is not as though we had the enemy already here among us." And he did not look down to meet the brooding eyes of Fallom - hermaphroditic, transductive, different - as they rested unfathomably, on him.

 Jim on the Web - Review of Asimov's Foundation's Edge
Almost five centuries after the first Foundation was established the ambitious councilman Golan Trevize is convinced that, despite the common belief, the mysterious Second Foundation still exists.
Trevize, eager as he is, brings his message at the wrong time, in the wrong place, and in the wrong way.  To his bitter surprise he learns Mayor Harla Branno knew of his ideas, and she now sees the right circumstances to send him away on a mission.
He suspects the existence of what he defines as "anti-Mules", and he believes Golan Trevize is some kind of a key element in whatever it is they are planning to do.

 FOUNDATION'S EDGE by ISAAC ASIMOV - BOOK HELP WEB REVIEW

First noticed as a vague reference to a planet in the Sayshell Sector by Janov Pelorat during his search for Earth, this was later deduced by Golan Trevize to have been part of Gaia's attempt to manipulate him into going to the planet in order to resolve the crisis.
After Trevize had decided that for Gaia to evolve into Galaxia was preferable to a galaxy ruled by either of the Foundations, Gaia, through Dom and Bliss, supported his proposal to search for the real planet of origin, Earth.
When Trevize decided in favour of Galaxia, all memories of Gaia were removed from Gendibal and he returned to Trantor satisfied at having engineered the trade agreement between the Foundation Federation and the Sayshell Union.

After Dom had concurred with Trevize that it was still important to find Earth, she accompanied Trevize and Pelorat in a renewed, and ultimately successful, search for Earth, in which her powers as Gaia proved indispensible.
When she learned that Trevize had gone to the Sayshell Union, which had maintained its independence from both the Mule and the expanding Foundation, and was heading for the even more isolationist world of Gaia, she decided personally to lead a military force to the area.

Eventually, he leaves to seek out the source of the manipulation with one of the natives of the Second Foundationer's planet (I'm not telling what planet that is, since it's a major spoiler for one of the earlier books).
It turns out that Golan is yet another SF character who has the ability to correctly jump to conclusions and Gaia has forced him here to find out what the best path for the galaxy is. Meanwhile, a Foundation fleet arrives, ready to blow up Gaia.
