 Hari Seldon - Asimov - A Wikia wiki
Seldon was born in the 11,988th year of the Galactic Era (GE) (-79FE) and died 12,069 (1FE).
Using psychohistory, Seldon found the right time and place to set up a new society, one that would replace the collapsing Galactic Empire by sheer force of social pressure, over a thousand-year time span.
At first, Seldon has no idea how this could be done in practice, and he is fairly confident that no one could actually fulfill the possibility.

 Forward the Foundation (1993)
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.
Seldon sends Raych to tell JoJo a tall story, which the latter (somewhat incredibly) swallows whole: Demerzel is a robot.
Raych is (again!) sent to infiltrate the organization and this time he manages to shack up with the beautiful prostitute Manella.

 The Foundation Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The premise of the series is that scientist Hari Seldon spent his life developing a branch of mathematics known as psychohistory, a concept devised by Asimov and Campbell.
Hari Seldon himself hopes that his Plan will "reduce 30,000 years of dark ages and barbarism to a single millennium." Psychohistory is based on group trends, and cannot predict with sufficient accuracy the effects of these individuals, and the Second Foundation's true purpose was to counter this flaw.
Ultimately, the revised, retconned historical timeline implemented by Asimov during the 1980s is considered to be the canonical one, with the previous references serving as quaint anachronistic gaffes by the characters (perhaps due to in-universe reasons, such as the inevitable distortion of accurate historical recordkeeping over the vast gulf of tens of thousands of years).

 Hari Seldon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His prediction of the eventual fall of the Galactic Empire is the reason behind his nickname "Raven" Seldon.
Seldon was born in the 10th month of the 11,988th year of the Galactic Era (GE) (-79FE) and died 12,069 (1FE)(1).
According to the Encyclopedia Galactica [Asimov's fictitious encyclopedia often cited in his future history novels), "It is thought that Seldon's birthdate,which some consider doubtful, may have been adjusted to match that of Cleon'" the last Galactic Emperor of the Entun Dynasty (Prelude to Foundation, p.
