## Biography

### Early life (373 ASB - 398 ASB)

The 2nd Monarch was born in 373 ASB, onboard the Liquid Carbbonic vessel #1B. He was largely disconnected from his parents as a young child, as the Officials aboard the vessel separate children and parents at birth for education. As a child, he was often described as reserved, intelligent, cold and calculating. However, those close to him would often witness his violent, hot headed outbursts that would often occur when he was unable to have his own way. This fiery temper led to the nickname "The Phoenix" or just "Phoenix". After the Vessel crashed onto the soil planet when he was a teen, he was reunited with his parents, as Liquid Carbon are after they complete education. His parents, being high ranking officials in the UPC government, helped him get a job with the 4th dynasty, Intelligence and Domestic Security. He would remain in this position until after the Great war.

#### The Incidents

Following the Great war, he was moved to the 2nd dynasty (research and development), after a series of incidents led to the Carbon Council taking notice of him. The first of these incidents happened in 390 ASB, where he punched a fellow co-worker following a sharp remark about his workstation. The second occurred in 393 ASB, where a malfunctioning elevator in his workplace sent him into a fit. During this fit, he supposedly damaged 2,000cR (Clayistani Riyal) worth of Government Equipment. The third and final incident happened in 396 ASB, where he relayed inaccurate information to a UPC spy operating in the Silty Clay Loam occupied Sand Republic. This mistake led to the spy being found out, resulting in his torture and execution by Silty Clay Loam forces. Following this incident, the parents of the executed spy took the 2nd Monarch to court, and after a 2 year long court battle, the Carbon Council picked him out and decided his intelligence was desirable for the 2nd Dynasty.

#### Employment in the 2nd dynasty

During a 39 year span, the 2nd Monarch rapidly ascended the ranks of the 2nd dynasty. His intellect made him a useful asset to the UPC, however his temper was a major concern for his co-workers and higher-ups. During his time in the 2nd dynasty, he helped make many major advancements in technology, most notably being the head researcher involved in the discovery of the explosive capabilities of Peat Topsoil. In this period he made extra effort as to control his temper, as the Carbon Council was watching him closely to see if he was fit to join the Council as the 2nd Monarch.

Following the discovery of the Peat Topsoil explosivity, the 2nd Monarch was officially promoted to the position of 2nd Monarch, replacing the old one. During his rule, many other leaders who interacted with him noted his cold and disdainful attitude. He made allies with many figureheads of off-compass soils, such as Peaty Kask, Governor Small, and Joseph Staloam. As time progressed, many seemed to note his temper getting shorter, possibly linked to the Carbon Resistance and Levi's steadily increasing popularity. He often traded with other nations, but seemed to be somewhat critical of their living conditions, taking after the Liquid Carbon attitude that the STC is full of savages.

#### The ZhangTong Summit

In 440 ASB, the 2nd Monarch and Peaty fell into a dispute after a team of UPC reasearchers were killed in their station on Peat. The leader of Greissen, Joseph Staloam, and the Leader of ZhangTong, Governor small, also joined the dispute, taking Peaty and the Monarch's side respectively. The dispute slowly escalated into an argument, the Monarch seemingly trying to stoke at the flames, intentionally inciting a war. Eventually, after a bit of negotiation, the Four Leaders plus Claysando II, the 1st Monarch, and Levi agreed to meet in ZhangTong where they would settle the dispute peacefully. The 1st Monarch and Claysando II both decided to attend via their radio, while the other five leaders attended in-person. At the summit, six of the seven leaders had agreed upon the terms of the treaty, until the 2nd Monarch was asked about his opinion on the terms. He expressed his dissatisfaction at the terms and a hint of "getting these fellows out of the picture". Just a couple of minutes later, the 2nd Monarch pulled out a revolver from a concealed pocket in his suit, and shot Peaty three times in the stomach. Out of these bullets, two were lodged in the stomach fat, and one hit a rib and ricocheted into Peaty's arm, going 3/4ths the way through. During the ensuing chaos, almost everyone at the summit was fired at in some form. While trying to escape ZhangTong, it is predicted the 2nd Monarch died due to blood loss and extreme shock. Supposedly the ZhangTong medics, not knowing how to deal with the body, threw it into the ocean. The search for his body is still being conducted so that the UPC can conduct an autopsy and burial.
