> William Marque Demascus I

William Marque, or otherwise known as William Marque Demascus I was the founder of the Kingdom of Harrisbrooke, as well as, the founder of House Demascus who, in his later years, would become a tyrant to his people. He would be eventually overthrown by his own son and executed. Ironically, William wanted to put an end to tyranny and oppression, but his own tyranny would be his downfall. Before his death, William prophesied that a son born of a twin birth would one day rise up and lead the kingdom to greatness and undo his mistakes.

## Early Life

Born in 1823 to a poor family, William Marque was determined to put an end to tyranny and oppression in the world. As a young man Marque would hire a ship and sail at random. He would land on a seemingly uninhabited island. Knowing that this island would be his chance to realize his dream, Marque returned to his home country and convinced a community of people to return to the island with him along with money and supplies. Upon arriving back at the island after a harsh 5 months, Marque and his new followers would establish a village on this island and name it Harrisbrooke. Upon becoming the village's leader, Marque would add Demascus to his name and use it as his surname, becoming William Marque Demascus.

## Forming the Kingdom of Harrisbrooke

In the year 1853, Harrisbrooke village would come in contact with 4 cities of German immigrants. These immigrants were a group of exiled mercenaries from the German Empire. The Harrisbrooke Militia would find themselves constantly harassed by these mercenaries, so Demascus declared war on them, which lasted only 3 months. In the summer of 1853, the Harrisbrooke Militia would defeat the exiled mercenaries. Upon his decree, Demascus would have the mercenaries bound to his family's service. Demascus would then have his armies ride into the cities once belonging to the mercenaries and claim them as his own renaming them Brookeshire, Harristune, Mariebrooke, and Clarrisburg. From Brookeshire, Demascus would form the Kingdom of Harrisbrooke, ruling as its first King.

## Forming House Demascus

In 1865, William Marque Demascus would marry an unnamed woman and months later have a son. Upon his son's birth, Demascus would form a noble house after his own name so his legacy could last for eternity. After the house's formation, Demascus would name his son as his heir and the future Patriarch of his house.

## Becoming a Cursed Monarch

> Because you have entered my domain, You shall be cursed to your future descendants.
>
> The Great Darkness, to William Marque Demascus I upon their meeting

In the year 1877, William Marque Demascus would travel into a forbidden area of the island. There he would meet a great darkness face to face. As a result, Demascus would become cursed all the way to his future descendants. From this curse, Demascus' demeanor would change tragically. He would turn from a good and honorable ruler to a tyrant.

## Growing Paranoia and Mental Deterioration

> The Darkness grows...
>
> William Marque Demascus I, In his forgotten notes

In early 1883, Demascus would begin to distrust those close to him. The curse made him believe they wanted to remove him from the throne and take his power away. In his most infamous declaration, Demascus would decree that the families of those who led the rebellion against him during the war years prior, would be rounded up and publically executed. Upon a close examination by his physician, Demascus would be told that his mental was fading away. Out of fear that the doctor sabotaged him, Demascus would have the physician jailed. Demascus would later write his thoughts in a journal which would later be forgotten.

## Execution and Prophecy

> I have foreseen it, A Son of a twin birth. One who will restore our glorious kingdom to greatness and fix my mistakes. Farewell my Subjects.
>
> William Marque Demascus I, Prophecy of the Savior King

In late 1883, It was clear Demascus would never recover from his mental state and beyond redemption. The people would become fed up with his tyranny, so they formed a rebellion against him, one led by his own son. His son, along with his army, would storm Castle Demascus and demand their King to step down. Demascus would refuse, and as a result would be struck down by his son's blade. Before his death, Demascus would tell his son that he saw a son of twin birth who will rise and restore their kingdom to glory and fix his mistakes. He would then die and his son would succeed him as King and Patriarch of House Demascus.

## Legacy

William Demascus I would be remembered as a good man who became a tyrant to his people. The Church would remember him as a great Prophet who foretold the coming of a Savior King. His Great Grandson, Great Great Grandson, and his two Descendants would be named after him. His prophecy would later become true when Harry Marque Demascus would be born and years later take the throne, and made a promise to restore the kingdom to greatness and undo his Ancestor's mistakes.
