Merc1377

Merc1377, also known as Merc Brewtaker, is a politician in Eldham, known for founding and leading the Mercurian Republic. He is currently a council member of Drackar, serving as the governor of the Province of Mercury. 
== History ==
Merc was born a native of Eldham. Although not much is known on his arrival to this land, being as old as the world itself, historians have many official records to refer to from Mercurian affairs and his involvement in global conflicts. 
His first public account to a traveling journalist describes his first constructions in Maia. An island with a small hut, storage area, and a rickety bridge connecting it to the mainland. This area is now known as the Historic District in Maia. 
=== Mercury ===
Early into the colonization of Eldham, Merc would found and lead the Republic of Mercury, leading it early on in the Second Ellyian Coalition War, gaining some of Ellysia's southern lands which now make up the nation of Aurea. He would lead it to new heights when the nearby nation of Sodalis would merge with Mercury. However, eventually the expansion of Roddinbrok would lead to issues, which would eventually lead to the downfall of Mercury. With fall of Mercury, he was forced out of any governmental positions and renounced his ownership of several cities.
=== Yunria ===
Along with many people from his nation, Merc would retreat North into the nation of Yunria, and find refuge their thanks to his relationship with its king, Ashey. In Yunria, Merc would establish himself as a major politician within the nation, and would come second in its first presidential election. From then on, he would be a major precense in the government of Yunria, and would once again become the governor of Mercury after its land was purchased back from Roddinbrok. After the ousting of the previous Yunrian president following a failed coup attempt, Merc would take a major step up in helping Yunria's second president, Benji, lead the nation.
=== Ellysian Rebellion ===
After being in power for several years, Merc's role would come to an end as Benji colluded with the Ellysians in order to have Yunria join Ellysia. Merc, disagreeing with the politics of many of the high ranking Ellysians, would rebel from Yunria and Ellysia. After only a year, Ellysia would capitulate in the Third Coalition-Ellysian War. Merc afterwards, would lead Mercury forward under the new nation of Drackar.
=== Drackar ===
Under Drackar, Merc would once again become the Governor of Mercury, and would play a minor role in the government of Drackar. However, during this time Merc would step back somewhat as a politician, and take more of a focus on building and leading Mercury again. Merc would build up strong connections with some nearby nation leaders such as Brevin of the Kingdom of the Asharalyn and Ragnulf Curthose of the Kingdom of Yuvaria. Merc would work with the two nations, and become an early adopted of Political Altruism.
== Family ==
Merc does not have an official known age, but he holds the form of an 18 year old half-human, so in his personal life he has been treated as such. Ares Brewtaker adopted him as a result of a family like relationship with many people of the silver coast. 
Merc has worked hard to try and find an heir to his fortune, but has come to no avail in finding a candidate to adopt. Kami Aurelian-Tyranious was the most fit candidate, however Kami did not let Merc adopt him. Merc was incredibly disappointed, since his hard work helping raise Kami never paid off. 
Merc is still a very eager Bachelor traveling around eldham finding a good fit for a wife. Although he can’t have children, his desire for companionship is prolongued.
