Henry Sy

Henry Sy was a Filipino soldier and diplomat. He served as an officer in the Imperial Army's Tiradores De La Muerte and the first Minister of Foreign Affairs until a grave injury forced him into retirement, which lasted a year. He has recently decided to return to service shortly after his recovery.
==Early life==
Henry Sy was born in the town of Mariquina to an unmarried couple, one of whom was a hardworking but mentally-challenged farmer, and the other, a local prostitute. He was raised by his father and spent most of his childhood and teenage years toiling the land to grow corn crops and regularly hunting wild beasts with a stolen musket.
At his late teenage years, the current-reigning monarch, his Majesty, Eugenio Calleja, started a rebellion which successfully overthrew the colonial Spanish government. He was still living a simple life throughout the rebellion, oblivious of the heated battles raging across the Islands.
==As an Imperial Grunt (1871-1873)==
It came to Henry Sy's realization that the Archipelago was now ruled by Filipinos after a few months of the rebellion's decisive victory; he swiftly decided to enlist in the Imperial Army with pride and determination to contribute. Owing to his skill with the gun, he entered the Tiradores De La Muerte, quickly creating a name and reputation for himself as a good soldier, albeit with questionable habits.
While the developing nation was at peace, he spent his days off-duty eating and drinking away at the last bits of simple fun he could have at the capital. He was reprimanded for misdemeanor at one point, with some rumors claiming that he threatened a foreign photographer at knife-point to photograph his fecal excretion and posted it on a local Inn.
==For War and For the People (1874)==
During the period of continuous conflicts with rebels and foreign nations, he served on each major battle on land, performing to the best of his abilities in leading as a NCO and CO while trying to maintain his individual harmony with his beloved rifle. Rumor has it that he went overseas on two occasions to aid the allied Vassal Dominion of East Korea and the Empire of Qing against western invaders and insurrections as a mere foot soldier under two aliases: Piyzheng, and another which is considered vulgar and is not commonly uttered.
While the war was raging in the Indian, African, and East Asian theatres, the government called on for it's loyal and patriotic citizens to democratically and fairly elect Kamara members and heads of the Ministries. Henry Sy gambled and entered the elections independently for the would-be Kamara members of the 1st assembly. Considered by himself to be away from his expectations, he won a seat in the Kamara assembly and was appointed as the Empire's first Minister of Foreign Affairs.
==To Serve and to Toil (1874-1875)==
As an Imperial Officer and Diplomat, he actively created a system for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which he later considered as somewhat bloated and having too much unnecessary additions. He was sent on various diplomatic missions, most notably with the Nation of Baden and Qing.
Through peaceful negotiations, Henry Sy tried obtain the last remaining hostile province, close to the empire's heartland, which is located in Guangdong, which only led to a heated disagreement between him and the then-current occupants of Guangdong, the Republic of Baden. This matter was resolved at a later time by the Higher echelons of the Imperial Army. 
Another matter which Henry Sy had a hand in at the time of the great war, was to have the Philippine Empire remain in governance of Hong Kong and Macau, which is to be ceded to the Qing, until a solid foothold has been made in the Indian sub-continent.
==Current Life (1875-Present)==
A few months after the events of the Great War, Henry Sy, as he always did when he was in the capital, went to his favorite inn to celebrate with his companions the coming victory of the Empire and it's allies against the western opposition. After half a day's leisurely activities, he fell into a deep state of drunkenness, moving around the inn carelessly while intoxicated, which caused him to trip over a tipped-over chair and hit the side of his head on a phallic-shaped wooden item erect on the floor, giving him a year-long coma. He was discharged from all positions after he was considered to have been in a comatose state for a lengthy period of time. 
Two months after his recovery, he decided to reenlist as a common ranker with less determination, presumably, thanks to his somewhat-noticable brain damage due to his accident a year prior.
