Marcus Holstead

== Marcus Holstead ==
Marcus Holstead, born 2nd October, 1982, is an Essotori politician, industrialist, and the present representative of Essotori to the United Nations, wherein he has reached his greatest point of fame. Marcus and his brother Andrew Holstead both entered politics, though Andrew joined earlier, and achieved much greater heights, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, under the Alvin Smith Premiership. Marcus initially sought to run as representative of the Hefield Mistery for Carpark Expansion, though this was denied, due to lack of popularity and failure to pay fees. However, due to his connection with Andrew, Marcus was able to secure a place in the administration as an 'Unremarkable', or an Unmark, those who put into place the policies of the government, allowing him to begin the climb up. In his youth, he was interested primarily in Trekan and Minachian culture, prompting him to join the University of Angleban's Foreign Studies Society. This allowed him to access the Foreign Ministry's bureaucracy, which he found 'boring and frustrating'. To his chagrin, he was unable to leave this department, and was nominated by Andrew to serve as the Essotori Representative to the United Nations in 2013, as one of the last actions of the Cameron Knockes-Mogg Premiership. He maintained his position throughout the Livingstone Regime, as well as the present administration of Robert Cartford, through shrewd, apolitical methods, and channelling his position to generate both foreign and domestic popularity. Embodying the 'grace' of Essotori, Marcus embraced the traditional aesthetic of Essotori, taking far greater care of his physical body to best convey the image of cleanliness, appreciated by the country. He saw himself as the vehicle, through which many Essotori would see the international stage, as a guide, and a shield. His carefully choreographed personality, of the stoic defender of sovereignty, was crafted through intentional stances, and international events, wherein Marcus would play a conciliatory role, to promote peace.
