Edwardo Balonie

Edwardo E. Balonie, known as Old Man Balonie, was a Cleric and semi retired co-leader of the city of San Sventisimo. He along with Sven are the main proponents of the Atarist faith, which while ancient, has been renewed in recent years in San Sventisimo, quickly spreading to the rest of the Sventisimo province, Las Vides, and the surrounding area.
== Biography ==
Balonie was born in the modern day San Sventisimo area, a few generations after the old civilization, before Las Vides, fell, roughly 55 years before 1 VE. His grandfather would become the first Chief of the area, referred to back then as "De Llorda," loosely translating to "Of the River". The tribe was still quite small, and young Balonie often found himself enjoying the more mundane tasks of lumberjacking and smithing. 
=== Time in Las Vides ===
Balonie was on of the first residents of Las Vides. He made maps for the nation occasionally, however largely stayed out of national affairs. He built the public park and park caretaker's house but spent the majority of his time in San Sventisimo. He would found the small mountain town of Aplia, the first settlement in the area after Las Vides purchased it. During the Las Vides "phase 2" under Chief Mox, Balonie would generally disapprove of the removal of homes, marking certain areas in Las Vides, San Sventisimo, and between as part of the "Historical Registry". This included one of the first buildings made in Las Vides, the Big Barn House, which was preserved despite phase 2. Balonie would visit Las Vides less and less as the capital declined. During the schism, Balonie would pull Aplia out of the nation with San Sventisimo and the other seceding towns.
=== Pure Sventisimo ===
Following the split up of Las Vides, Old Man Balonie was primarily involved with promoting the Atarist faith and acting as an advisor to Sven Elder in San Sventisimo, and overseeing the town of Aplia Even in his old age he loved engaging in Svenanigans (formerly Vides Violence). During the San Sventisimo civil war Old Man Balonie warned that his son, going under the name of Pablo Jamón could be the leader of the rebels. 
Upon turning 102 he found out he was quite old and promptly passed away in his sleep in the Autumn of 44 VE. He is buried in the San Sventisimo cemetery.
His death was fairly quiet and uneventful, however since his passing there are whispers of his son returning.
