## Biography

### Early life

Kamakta was born in Agrada on 4-1 81 TT to Herkaz Arkara and his wife Bol. Kamakta was educated at the Arkara Holy School from 70 TT until his graduation as a bosche in 60 TT. On 10-1 59 TT Herkaz, as the Ossbosche of Grada granted Kamakta the rank of udenbosche as a holy judge.

On 27-7 25 TT Kamakta's brother Bantar, who by this point was both the Head of the Arkara Family and the Ossbosche of Grada was elected Living King. On the day of his ascension Bantar resigned from his position as the Ossbosche of Grada and publicly supported Kamakta as his replacement. Kamakta was elected Ossbosche of Grada on 30-7 25 TT.

### Under Bantar

Kamakta Arkar began his involvement in the Arkara Plot during 22 TT or earlier. On 26-4 22 TT Kamakta, as the Ossbosche of Grada purchased a large quantity of fertilizer from the Perat Family claiming that it was to be used in several farms in Grada. The fertiliser was instead shipped off to various parts of the country and was used in numerous assassinations, most famously the Ossbosche of Balkolk, Koatark Aralk on 12-8 19 TT, the Ossbosche of Dar, Coatike Ake on 21-6 16 TT and the Head of the Banokan Family, Borokar Banokan on 5-7 15 TT. Kamakta ordered a second batch of fertilizer from the Perat Family on 29-2 12 TT. This second purchase led to the plot's dicovery by Tyshok Perat and the subsequent release of the Tyshok Report on 9-12 10 TT. Bantar's refusal to condem those listed in the report led to the False War.

During the False War Kamakta fled Agrada to an unknown location and remained there until Bantar's assassination on 13-7 4 TT, when his position as an ossbosche forced him Ablesken to elect the next Living King. During the election Kamakta and his allies in the assembly supported Merkak Kakay for the next Living King, those affiliated with the Perat Family supported Storm Perat as Bantar's successor. The ossbosches unaffiliated with either family refused to support either candidate causing a deadlock in the assembly which lasted until 30-10 2 TT when Harakar Oken was elected Living King. During his time locked in Ablesken Kamakta had been elected Head of the Arkara Family.

### Head of the Arkara Family

The Tyshok Report and the subsequent False War greately damaged public opinion of the Arkara Family which continued to deteriorate following Harakar's election. On 4-2 3 PC, Harakar issued Harakar's 10th Dictate, which barred members of the Arkara Family from serving as ossbosches. Three days later, a group of three men sent by the Ossbosche Assembly arrived at the Saekraim Ordok to forcibly remove Kamkata's son Artak from his position as the Ossbosche of Saekraim. Instead of being removed Artak had the three men killed upon entry. The next day, Kamakta, as the Head of the Arkara Family, declared his defiance of the dictate, beginning the Arkara Uprising of 3 PC. The assembly raised the Akarian Holy Army and Kamakta raised the Arkara Family's private army. Peace between the Kingdom and the Arkara Family was achieved on 24-3 3 PC, with Kamakta recognizing the dictate and stepping down.
