Steve Stevenson
In the glorious Stevocracy of the Stevican empire, all Steves live well, and the race of Stevens has spread across the galaxy. The great and wise matriarch, Her Steveness decreed that Earth shall be incorporated into the Stevican empire.
You are tasked with determining whether Earth shall be allowed in as a full member state, with aid and trading opportunities, or whether it must be conquered and ruled as a vassal. If Her Steveness is sufficiently impressed by Earth, it may even be acknowledged in its own right, and allowed to maintain some self-rule and independence in return for highly favorable trade agreements.
To determine this, you must study the treatment of all Steves on this planet and measure the greatness of the greatest of Steves. Oddly enough, there are many individuals on this planet that do not identify as Steves, but they cannot be considered true Steves, and therefore do not count in the final reckoning.
You have made a study of this planet's history and people in order to help make your choice. The only complication is that, over the 20 years you have spent in this Steve-forsaken backwater, you have become oddly fond of it and its peculiarity. You have passed yourself off fairly successfully as a human, and started dating a lovely girl named Stevena, which sounds like a Steve to you. You have even made friends with some non-Steves, but you know that your masters will never understand the value of non-Steves.
In your human cover identity you are Professor Steve Stevenson, of Applied History at the University of Wisconsin, Steven's Point. In recognition of some recent discoveries using time travel, you were able to wheedle the "honor" of sitting on the NSF's Time Travel Review Board. Luckily, most tenured professors don't want to sit on boards like this because it takes a time away from their research, with a low reward.
For you, however, it is an ideal position to assure the salvation of earth. If you can increase the prominence of Steves throughout history, you can convince your superiors that the planet is worthy of full membership. If you can greatly increase the prominence of Steves, you may even convince your superiors to give earth the option of retaining some self-rule: the cultural peculiarities of human beings make for fascinating study.
To this end, you want the council to approve anyone who might add a significant Steve to earth's timeline: either a time traveler named Steve who can become an important historian or historical contributor, or an individual who wants to change the time-line in favor of a Steve. You can make your superiors accept nearly any permutation of Steve as valid. They accepted Asteviopus as a great Steve on the planet Malkalalala, so none of the Earth Steve variants should be too big a stretch.
