=== Early life ===
==== Missing ====
Decades after the continents of Rathnir and Eldham were put in stasis, Bingus was born on Adramis in Elatsania in 57 VE. Bingus was very insecure about his appearance as he was a mix of many different species, and Elatsania wasn't very diverse, so he wore his iconic mask. His father Aster Aether spent a long time trying to make Bingus comfortable in his appearance, however Bingus wouldn't budge. Winter of 71 VE, one night, Bingus Coolman, at the age of only fourteen, completely disappeared from Elatsania.
==== Return ====
His family worried for his safety for years until on Spring of 73 VE, Bingus returned. Bingus had went travelling where he toured across the lands and seas of Abexilas, meeting people and learning of their cultures. Bingus had become wiser on the workings of the world and wanted to become more involved in the management and politics of Adramis. He would gather the people he met along his travels and resettle in Kadus to grow its influence on the region. He envisioned Kadus transforming from a group of small costal villages to large port city. However his relationship with his family was strange as they had not seen him in years. Bingus was also no longer nervous about his appearance but chose to wear the mask often because it had become so intrinsic to his identity. Bingus, due to being part Macaw and part Weeping Angel, should have had his wings grow in by this time, but to his misfortune he was still waiting for his wings to come.

=== Rise of Kadus ===
==== Annexation of Aufei ====
Bingus focused all his efforts on building up the settlement of Sparkstone and took leadership of the province of Kadus as its temporary Governor before elections were held. He appointed Queasly as mayor of Sparkstone and Luggs as commander of the Kadus Guard. The Kadus Guard was a newly formed police force, which had the goal of maintaining order on a local level within the province. Bingus worked with Kadus' previous governor Deep to connect the cities of Sparkstone and Pinehay, further unifying the province. Bingus then negotiated with the state of Zamotz for Kadus to annex the neighboring province of Aufei to account for the sudden rise in population. This received criticism from Zamotz government official Elkool however Elkool finally conceded his argument and Aufei was annexed into Kadus (more than doubling its land).
==== Attempted Enslavement of Kadus ====
Leader of one of Adramis' states, Commander Carl began an assault on Kadus attempting to enslave their people, as at this time slavery was legal in Adramis, however the violent attack on another province was not. Commander Carl took hostages and demanded money for their release, however with the help of Shmoobdoob, the Kadus Guard were able to hold him off. Bingus threatened to take Carl to the high court of Adramis to get reparations for the damages caused. The main negative effect this had was lowering the people of Kadus' trust with Adramis. As Carl was a high ranking member within Adramis, and his presence was the first time many of Kadus' people had interacted with people from the United States of Adramis, a large nationalist movement was born. Soulful, Theodopolis, Scort the Jort, and Grim founded the Kadus People's Party. The KPP was a socialist movement which sought for Kadus to become independent of Adramis as a whole.
==== Indusia Scandal ====
Mayor Queasly of Sparkstone got himself involved in a scandal with Mayor Hiconia of Indusia over a livestock dispute. This caused Hiconia to want Indusia to leave the Province of Kadus for the larger province of Elatsania. This was bad news for Bingus but after some negotiations and threatened court cases, Queasly and Hiconia were able to sort out the dispute privately. At this time Indusia would remain a town of Kadus. After this close call, Bingus wanted to redraft the constitution to hold leaders more accountable. Preparations for Kadus' first election would take place as the constitution was drafted. Currently the main two candidates were Bingus and the KPP. Bingus was against the KPP as their ideology went directly against the core principles of Adramis.
==== Rise of Homelessness and Drug Crisis ====
Kadus' homeless population began to grow due to Ashren's cartel dealing high amounts of drugs to Kadus' citizens. They would flock to the sewer system of Sparkstone where this drug cartel would thrive. Bingus declared the cartel as an enemy of the state and organised the Kadus Guard to keep watch and make arrests. However things would be complicated with Bingus discovering Queasly and Luggs had minor involvement with the cartel. He would root out the corruption and bring back his leaders to the side of justice. Many police operations took place to lower this rise in cartel activity.
==== Founding of Marmotism ====
During a dispute between the Kadus Guard and a bandit called Cyberman, the town of Kadus would receive heavy damage, however Kadus Guard troops stationed at the time, including Luggs and Murphy, claimed to have seen a holy deity come down from the citizens to save them and banish Cyberman far away. They began the worship of this deity, who they called Marmotte. They believe Marmotte to be the god of the sea and fishing. The Marmotte disciples claimed that Sparkstone was chosen by Marmotte as the holy city, causing religious buildings to appear swiftly. This was now the primary religion of Kadus.
==== Schism of Marmotism ====
The province of Kadus was thrust into religious schism within the Marmotism faith. The conflict began when Marmotists discovered that the town of Waydin—an illegal settlement within the territory of Kadus —contained significant religious artifacts, including a house believed to have once been the home of their prophet, Marmotte. Declaring Waydin a holy site, the Marmotists collaborated with the Kadus Guard to devise plans to officially integrate the town into the province by any means necessary. However, the unity of the Marmotist faith began to unravel when Queasly, the former mayor of Sparkstone, performed an act of profound religious significance. While fishing in holy water, Queasly retrieved a mending book, a discovery revered in Marmotism as a divine sign. Seizing upon this moment, Queasly declared himself the new chosen one, a claim that enraged traditionalist Marmotists. He further deepened the divide by writing a new holy book, which he claimed contained the updated commandments of their god. This new doctrine, radically different from the original teachings, gave rise to a breakaway sect known as The Mended. Tensions escalated as the Traditionalist Marmotists, now rebranding themselves as Spravzhni Poslidovnyky (The True Followers), and The Mended clashed over control of Waydin. The holy city was seized by the Traditionalists, solidifying their claim to religious authority. However, the dispute led to violent skirmishes between the two factions, and the situation was volatile, with the fate of both Waydin and the fractured Marmotist faith under great concern. Bingus was close with Queasly and personally chose to follow the way of the Mended.
