Bundig Bogus

Potentate Bundig Bogus (Al-Bundi Baki in Hamalfite) is the recognized Potentate of The Mire and an Emir of the Hisuuani Caliphate. Unlike the Hamalfite majority, Bundig is one of the Mirefulk, a culture originated in the swamps bordering the traditional Hamalfite lands. Despite this difference, he is considered a leader amongst the Emir Faction.
==Youth==
Bundig was born an only child among the waning Bogus dynasty, a line that stretches back to the days when The Mire was independent and its leader was a King in his own right. Those days are long since past, but Bundig was taught the royal traditions of his forefathers all the same. The Bogus line are believed not only to be the rightful rulers of the land, but also the torchbearers for a generation that will inevitably regain their independence when the Hisuuani Caliphate collapses. This tradition has made the Potentates of The Mire outsiders in the Hisuuani courts of the past, but Bundig spent his early years fighting alongside the Hamalfites in border wars and internal disputes.
==Potentate and Emir==
The death of his father brought Bundig to power. Unlike his father, he spent much more time in the Hamalfite court, using the roughly translated name "Al-Bundi Baki" and signing documents attributed to him with the Emir title rather than the Potentate one. Some in the Mire have whispered that their leader is being softened up and turned into a "Perfumed Hamalfite Girl", but to the Hamalfite themselves he comes off as militant and crude.
Al-Bundi is strongly against the expansion of the Voldranians, whose culture he sees as unnatural and destructive. He sees them as more of a threat to his people then the Hamalfite and their Caliphate ever were, and advocates war against their Voldranian neighbors. Aea, a Voldranian nation founded by foreigners who conquered the marches of Haison, he recommends for immediate conquest and extermination. Despite being a non-Hamalfite, his vehemence on the subject of Voldranian culture had put him at the lead of the Emir Faction at court.
