Dr. Benway was the creator of the 2nd Adorian Federation, whose tenure saw the 56th election and its first Prime Minister, SimpinForSoros with a turnout of 127 votes from 8 parties and 11 independents. He was later demoted from head administratir and banned altogether at the behest of KingSepron, a week later. This then foresaw the new owner, MarcZuccIsMyWaifu sell what was left back to Matthew V, even before one of five provinces finished their first gubernatorial election with a total of nine candidates.
He is also the former leader of the Sons of Liberty and a member of the Schmidt family. He got his start as the Minister of Justice under Prime Minister Constantine and President Krisys. He served two more times in this position with the next administration, despite initial hesitance by Bert he be allowed to do so and again in March under Prime Minister David Cameron after losing his appointment as the Governor of the Central Bank in Winleydon. His only other ministerial job was as the Minister of Defense, succeeding Cookies in the government prior that.
However, his biggest rise to notoriety in the legal community would come when he defended Parsa in his trial for treason and the violation of public trust, with a successful acquittal on the former felony. On the day of Epstein's promotion to Party Leader, the new BA-SDP-UWF-AWP coalition would nominate him to Associate Justice on the Supreme Court where he would serve until June 21st. During this time, he has prosecuted many high profile cases too - namely the impeachment case against Frederick Gldenlove, won on all counts.
Ligii and Epstein endorsed Dr. Benway for Leader despite the latter being convinced by him to step down in the first place. The Sons of Liberty had only kept Limni by the end of Krisys's career but the party had always been selected as Lt. in Lavandas. This was collapsed by the time Epstein left and the party lost over twenty older members but Dr. Benway plugged the hole and recruited new talent like Sotakola and a bigger voting base to help sustain what was left.
Despite being judged mediocre for leadership, Epstein appointed LastCelebration for the interim. LastCelebration vowed to fix these messes and indeed, Limni was kept under the new governor, Sotakola who replaced former deputy, Soytrap (now departed). It didn't last long because the TPP would be taken over by David with Marcel, the old leader retiring. Marcel prefered cooperation and David did not (due to a feud with Epstein). Constantine was ambitious to fix the province and Sotakola's winning majority grew weaker and weaker.
Despite many threats to fire Dr. Benway, he managed to gain even bigger influence as the official negotiator in every coalition. It was due to this and little competition, he won the position of leader in a landslide. The biggest shame he faced came in Limni when Sotakola, then hospitalized, lost his bid for reelection to Constantine. Constantine, still CPA would win due to joint support from the SDP, UWF and AWP leveraged by HeyItsJoe, then of the ANF.
The Sons of Liberty was dead according to most pundits but Dr. Benway wouldn't let that happen. He decided to take over Andeltana with Fmr. Governor Javybean22 (former CPA and now SoL) and this paid off in the same week. The Sons of Liberty went on to capture the position of Lt. in Lavandas for Big Ben under the SDP administration there and in a few weeks, Limni was regained for Sotakola, thanks to a migration engineered at Dr. Benway's behest and another massive recruiting campaign.
These wins were solidified in Andeltana once again, where Javybean22 would win unanimously and Constantine would join the SoL, leaving the CPA's hegemony in the region to rust permanently.. While he never saw his party recapture Lavandas in the way it had in January, the electoral divide pushed closer and closer to its candidates with another Lt. Governor position for Big Ben under the CPA administration in June.
Despite it all, the CPA would try to make him Vice President with KingZanium. He had been chosen by LastCelebration for this in April but it didn't go anywhere and the party endorsed the Jose-Bert ticket instead. Still,all the talks of division were clearly overstated and one-on-one with the addition of Yannick even though his ducal authority is only recognized due to Dr. Benway's own improvisation.
Dr. Benway won re-election as the Party Leader one last time on June 22nd, with the Sons of Liberty finally following a joint leadership. Nonetheless, he resigned immediately with a record legacy of twenty seats in the National Assembly. It was in his absence, Shennogo used his personal funds to build a statute of Dr. Benway, now in the headquarter building, on behalf of the entire leadership. Today, he is buried in the Ador City graveyard.
