Who is Han Pritchard from Foundation and Empire and what is their importance?

Pritcher is a military captain who's chief duties were to work with the war department on Trantor. Pritcher is introduced when he's summoned by Mayor Indbur and is reprimanded for refusing to follow orders. Pritcher objects that he's not an "errand boy" to be sent to enforce payment of taxes but is ordered to do just that anyway. Pritcher will later become a colonel in the Mule's army and will talk briefly to Bayta and Toran while they are waiting for Ebling Mis to discover the location of the Second Empire.
