**Herobrine** was a menacing and brutal General and Dictator who led Herobrania from December 20, 2003 until his death on May 1, 2058. Before that, he was the president of the short-lived Third Taino Republic from April 20, 2003 until its dissolution and formation of a totalitarian dictatorship in its place, hostile to Minecraftia. He would rule Herobrania, and would be wanted by 109 countries.

Allegedly hailing from Icerahn, Herobrine had superhuman wizard-like powers that quickly gained him power. He was in the army when the Third Taino Republic was installed in 2003; Herobrine became president in April 2003 and quickly consolidated power, with the country being renamed in his honor. His government quickly became dictatorial and became increasingly hostile to its northern neighbor Minecraftia and its western one, Marxia. Under his rule, Herobrania would engage in several conflicts nearby, conquering the Isle of Loae and moving the Herobranian capital from Tyne to Icerahn and then to Loae. Herobrine also engaged in heavy fighting with Minecraftia and Marxia. Following the Third Herobranian War and heavy fighting in Herobranian-controlled Aetheria City and Villagetown, Herobrine was forced to partition Loae and move his capital back to Tyne. After an attempt was made on his life in which he lost most of his wizard powers, he triggered the largest war ever, in which he launched massive invasions into Minecraftia and Watterson. Following several years of grueling war, he was killed in action by Breeze Nightcrest during the battle of Baymax, and as a result, his regime fell and the war ended a year later and was replaced with the State of Lucaya, which functions as a rump state.

## Early Life

Most of Herobrine's early life is unknown; he has allegedly grown up in several places of which haven't been confirmed. Among the main candidates are Tyne, Lodz, Essex, and Brujas. It has confirmed that he was born in Icerahn, and as such, he is mainly thought of as growing up there. The first confirmed place where Herobrine was known to have lived (at 16) is Tyne. According to Herobrine himself, he grew up in Icerahn and in Tyne. Herobrine is of Taino ethnic origins, which suggests that he did probably grow up in either Icerahn or Tyne, as both had Taino majorities at the time. Herobrine also gained special powers allegedly via illegal experimentation.

Herobrine joined the army of the Second Taino Republic at a supposedly young age, and was a reserve at the time of the transition between the Second and Third Republics. Herobrine then rose quickly through the ranks as he was seen as a deity (basically). Herobrine became the first and only five-star general in the Third Taino Republic in 2002, and led the army, however, he did not oversee any combat missions. he also saw popularity, however, his powers meant he could usurp power.

## Presidency of the Third Taino Republic

Herobrine ran for president of the Taino Republic, advocating for a 'Greater Taino Lucayan' homeland, including Taino-majority areas in Trench, the Isle of Loae, and Marxia. Herobrine's policies also advocated for a new constitution, calling the then-incumbent president Arguey Trujillo a 'corrupt demagogue' and a 'piece of shit' who he blamed for most problems. Herobrine also had radicalized views on ethnic minorities, calling ethnic Loaetians and Minecraftians "inferior" to the greater Lucayan Taino.

Herobrine won the presidential election that year by a landslide, under heavy allegations of voter intimidation, ballot stuffing, and fraud. During the lame duck period of Trujillo's presidency, Herobrine assembled a hard-line cabinet formed out of far-right politicians and military officers. He was inaugurated on April 20, 2003, becoming the youngest president in the history of the Taino Republics. Almost immediately, he led radicalized reforms and a series of laws, removing checks and balances and declaring martial law. By June, Herobrine had eliminated term limits, elections, and had come under heavy accusations.

Herobrine's reputation was tarnished after he raped a 13-year old girl, allegedly impregnating her. Following the birth of the baby, named Holtred, the girl was raped once again and then executed. The girl's family was also sent to prison for speaking out against him and his actions.
