David Varson

== David Varson ==
Count David Varson is an Essotori noble, from the house of Varson, who was born in October, 1988 in the family's estate, Haelon, Cunberry. His Lebthul ceremony, involving his first feeding by his mother, was observed by the Prime Minister of the time, Alexander Willingberry, who served as the young boy's tutor and protector. This was possible, due to the fact that Willingberry lost power a few months after David's birth, and took up the role of educating the Varson's son to help pay for his own family, and to stay close to the Varsons, as they had been staunch political allies. While in the care of Willingberry, David learned swiftly the nature of politics, nobility, medicine and finance, enjoying the very best in Trekan technology and luxuries, as did many of the 'Debauched Nobles'. Throughout the reign of William Welsbury, David maintainined relative safety, within Haelon, before recklessly joining the Ascended Army in 2002, at age 16. He was sent to Nurasovask, serving within the mechanised twenty third infantry regiment in policing actions. This experience would serve him well, enjoying plunder, and creating a small fortune from businesses within Nurasovask, primarily catering to fellow Essotori soldiers. Here, he earned the insulting, yet typically gallows humour filled "Duke of Despair and Dark Dealings". Returning to Essotori in 2007, where he spread his independent business operations until the death of his father, Albert Varson, in 2009. Taking the County of Haelon at age 21, the young Count accepted the honours typical of a noble of his stature, yet refused to delegate his business activities to loyal functionaries. This caused him to be alienated from his other lords, though he cared extremely little, and frequently absconded from his duties as a noble in the National Mistery, though his vote could easily be earned, if required. Swiftly combining the assets of the County, with that of himself, he created several companies, his primary one being Aspiring Arms, an innovative weapons and technology producer. However, to craft weapons of war, David sought to go to war, personally. 
Deploying to the rogue state of Herzoland in 2014, he waged a low intensity insurgency against the native population, during which his company, and it's private army composed of Essotori schoolboys and company apprentices, achieved feets of heroism and infamy. He was briefly required to return to Essotori to attend Ascended Day, the coronation of Nozerod Glorious Jade in 2015, though he arrived late. He tributed 'blood gold', melted down from the wedding rings of Herzolandish soldiers he had executed, a hobby he refered to as "The Great Calderian safari", causing a political scandal within the Palace. He cared not, however, and returned to his new hobby, and career. He appeared in the United Nations in 2022, to debate the merit of Trekan intervention in Herzoland, wherein he supported Treka to spite his rival, Baron Albert Jiscoln, CEO of Celestial Engineering Industries.
