Heimrich Von Wolfsburg

Heimrich Moritz Wolf, more commonly known as Heimrich Von Wolfsburg, was born 57 years ago in a still undiscovered land where he ruled a nation named Wolfsburg. His parents died in the War for Hemmelton soon after his birth, after which he was taken care of by his sister Emilia Ida Himmelstoss. After this period of his life, he grew up in hard and rugged conditions that would later help him in the Revolutionary War of Himmelsburg. Heimrich would later go on to be elected Kaiser of Wolfsburg and led the nation to be a major power in his land, though many of his advisors seek their own power. After almost 25 years of ruling, three of his closest advisors Frederick Von Svletana, Otto Von Georgeville and Adolf Von Himmelsburg banded together and gained enough popular support to exile Heimrich from his own nation using propaganda portraying him as a murderer of children and destroyer of Hospitals and Homeless camps during the many wars he and his men fought in. After his exile, he came upon the land known as Eldham and settled in the AWE where he still lives this day. 
Early Life
Heimrich's early life isnt very well known before his teen years, mainly due to his living situation and location away from Eldham. All we know is that his parents fell in a war soon after his birth and his sister took care of him till he was able to fend for himself at the age of 16. Once he left his sisters care however, his history became more well known to a few outside of Wolfsburg. It's said that once he went to take care of himself, he immediately was shocked by the status of his nation. Everywhere he went the nation was either in a state of poverty or in a state of rebellion, and thus he began his campaign to improve the lives of the people in his nation. 
He went off to an area not far from the capital city of the city state, Wolfsburg, and found an old abandoned home to take his living in. He rebuilt the small stone hut and went off to search for a living, where for a short time he was employed by a farmer to be his farm hand. He'd be this man's farm hand for another 4 years before he was forcibly enlisted into the Wolfsburg Army in defence against the new revolutionary nation of Himmelsburg. 
Revolutionary War of Himmelsburg
The revolutionary war of himmelsburg is commonly thought of (in wolfsburg) to be a rise in dictatorship ideologies and corrupt governors. This is exactly what Heimrich disliked about his own nation, and though being forcibly enlisted he would have gladly enlisted either way. He fought hard and gave out many great plans to help deal with the on-coming threat, but all his ideas were dropped due to him being only a sergeant at this time, which in the Wolfsburg Army is not a commanding rank. Despite how hard he fought, he wasnt awarded any medals, nor was he congratulated when he returned home. He was disregarded by his commanding officers, and sent back home where he tried to find another method of working in order to sustain himself. 
The Golden Chance
Heimrich finally found a workplace in a blacksmith near the center of Wolfsburg, and worked there until he was 30. One day he was on his way to the blacksmith when he encountered and was attacked by a revolutionary group named the Janissier Demokratische Diktatoren (JDD). He decided to finally take things into his own control, found another group called the Wolfic Reich Party (WRP), and took it over as quickly as he could. Slowly he gained popular support using propaganda and images showing all the disorganization and Fractionalization throughout the nation, and promises to reunite the nation and turn it into an empire. His propaganda proved successful, and he was one of three political leaders to be placed in the National Election. Through blatant honesty about the nations standpoint and all his experiences with the past military leaders and his life, he won the election and became the rightful Kaiser of the Wolfic Reich. 
Expansionist Ideals
Heimrich Von Wolfsburg always had a belief that his nation was too small to fully sustain itself with it's total population of 200 million, and began looking to solutions outside his borders. Smaller, less populous nations could be taken through diplomacy and bribery for the most part, and thus he saw an opportunity to expand his Reich and give his people more space to live and expand. Three nearby nations, Juneburg, Kimmelsknoll and Tremondsville all seceded to the Wolfic Reich, giving the nation plenty of space for new industry and farms. He then bribed another 2 nations into joining his Reich, giving him enough space to house his now 430 million citizens and have enough farmland and industry to keep the nation going. Even with all of this new land though, he needed to reestablish his economy. 
the Wolfic Reich's economy was far down the drain, with a single Geld (the most commonly used currency) being worth 17,000,000,000 Fredericks. So Heimrich decided to restart the economy by getting rid of the Frederick and bringing in the new Reichspennig. This new currency was worth over 390,000,000 Fredericks and helped to restart the economy. He then began international trade and reunited the worker unions in his nation to work together and produce worth-while comforts and needs such as furniture, clothing, cook ware and more. With his total economic restart and the reunification of his industrial powers, he managed to turn Wolfsburg into one of the leading economic superpowers in what he thought was the whole world. 
With the nations infrastructure being rebuilt, economy booming for the first time in centuries and his people rejoicing in unison, Heimrich was proud of his accomplishments and planned to settle down and let his new Empire recoup after years of suffering. Sadly the next leading world military superpower had a different plan. Heimrich's rebuilding of Wolfsburg threatened the nation of Bemmelrus, and the Bemels desided to declare war on Wolfsburg to hopefully eradicate the growing superpower before it overtook them in wealth and strength. Hiemrich had worried this was going to happen, but was still unprepared for the sudden attack when he finally got news of it. Quickly he gathered up his rebuilt military and gave them a plan that he hoped would trick the Bemels into surrendering many of their troops. 
He told his commanders to quickly make a front line on the old defensive line of Denburg's Wall, but to leave a few purposefully weak areas that would be the trap for the opponent. Once the opponents broke through the weak areas, they would unknowingly charge into the perfect place to be surrounded, and then be quickly crushed from all sides. Once the Bemel's were weak enough, the commanders were told to then charge through the thicker front line areas of the opponent and split up their forces, and then each piercing division connect up to each other to surround much of the enemy front line with a swarm of well equipped troops. Heimrich hoped this plan would work out as he planned, and sent it off with his commanders. They quickly built the front line at Denburg's Wall, doing so like they were in a rush to make it seem like the weak areas were on purpose. At first, the plan worked perfectly. Thousands of enemy troops were surrounded and either surrendered or were crushed, and eventually the enemy was weakened enough to have a counter push enacted. Heimrichs plan then began to fail, as attacking the strongest areas of the front line led to large amounts of casualties. Quickly the Generals revised Heimrichs plan, and instead attacked weaker areas in the front lines, but didnt fall for the traps where the front lines were purposefully thin except for once or twice. The Bemel Army was quickly crushed and the Wolfic Army marched through Bemmelrus valiantly until they were faced up against the Hiendberg River, where many flagships from the Bemmelrussian Navy bombarded the coast and prevented the Wolfic Army from advancing. Heimrich began production on an armored ship called "Hammelrus" which he hoped could solely defeat most of the Bemmelrussian navy. This ship was revolutionary in design, and resembled the human-made Dreadnoughts, which was by far a huge advancement compared to the sail ships the Bemmelrussians were still using. 
Hammelrus was completed three years later, with the river of Hiendberg still being the final standpoint between Wolfsburg and the Bemmelrussian Capital Yeanerglos. Hammelrus would arrive a month later and decimate many of the Bemmelrussian ships, including the national flagship Bemmelia. This dealt a huge blow to the moral of the people in Bemmelrus and thus made it so they quickly surrendered. This left the Wolfic Rich larger than most other nations in the archipelago's history, owning over two thirds of the Archipelago. This was the peak of the Empire, the economy was booming with trade, industry working smoother than ever, infrastruction more modern than ever and the military strength and unity of the nation were greater than any other nation in the past. Sadly for Heimrich, his time as ruler would come to an end soon. 
The Betrayal
Many local governors felt their power was slowly becoming less significant in the Empire, and three of Heimrich's closest advisors, Frederick Von Svletana, Otto Von Georgeville and Adolf Von Himmelsburg, planned to overthrow and exile the powerful emperor. They began to portray him in as many horrible ways as possible, saying he burned down hospitals and personally executed children in his invasion of Bemmelrus. Slowly, more and more people believed it, and eventually Heimrich Von Wolfsburg, the greatest leader the Wolfic reich has ever known, was spat upon by the people he unified and brought together. He tried to reunite the people, tried to show them the lies, but the multitude had already been reached and the belief was too significant to be ignored. The past Emperor was exiled, with the three advisors being up front to see him goodbye. Before he left, one of the governors took a knife with a black flame, and slid the knife across his eye before shoving him into a small fishing boat and letting him off the dock. He wouldnt wake up till three days later, far out at sea with nothing more than some rotten fruit and old cod left in his boat. He could see the Hammelrus in the distance, his own ship full of crewmen who still believed him had escorted him beyond any ship's reach to ensure his hopeful survival in the future. He'd barely survive for the next few days before reaching the edge of a new land, where he was taken in by the polite people of Concordia. It is here where he lives now, slowly but surely succumbing to the curse put upon the blade that slit his eye.
