### Biography

#### Early life

Bob was born in a humble family on the continent of Syltor. When he was 9, Bardonian troops took over his village. Although the first years after the take-over were peaceful, soon the bardonians began demanding unreasonably high taxes. They had heard that a neighboring village had been sacked by the bardonians when they couldn't pay the taxes. Knowing that they wouldn't be able to pay, Bob's family decided to flee. They hopped on a ship setting sail to the continent of Alteniquia, at this time Bob was 16. But the sea gods were not favorable that day, and the ship got stuck in a heavy storm. The ship sealed against a rock formation, close to the coast of Alteniquia. Bob was one of the only survivors.

#### Life as a bandit

Bob was saved by a band of bandits. For a couple of years he followed them and became a bandit too, but one day he saw the leader of the bandit group torturing a child for information. Thisdisgustedd him and he ran away with the little food and water he could carry. He was saved when he saw the walls of New Doomstadt. The sahrad of New Doomstadt, Viktor von Káiser, also known as Doom, invited him to the city. He was given a house and a place to start. He heard that some of his friends and family, who also were on the ship, had survived. They too joined New Doomstadt, that due to the immigration from Syltor had a sudden population boom.

#### Life in New Doomstadt

Bob had a good life in New Doomstadt, he met many new people and got converted to Theiosism. He also took the name, Bob Pulus Gallus, due to his love for chickens. One day the Sahrad of a nearby town, Useless came by. Bob quickly befriended him. During his time in New Doomstadt, he mainly worked on the city walls, the community storage, and his own house. He learned to brew and even built a little brewery in his basement. He also met the count of Auraion Asseli-Nak. New Doomstadt was a city inside the county of Auraion, inside the Archonate of Theionikos, inside the empire of Yimmu-Audal. He would always see this as the best time of his life.

#### Sahradship of Evangalista

The new archon of Theionikos, the former count of Auraion, Asseli-Nak needed a new sahrad for the city of Evangalista. Evangalista was a ruined city in the county of Theiotokos. He got to work rebuilding the city, and soon he was joined by Spirca, a Theiosist monk. Spirca built a temple in the city square, while Bob was working on the walls. During this time he also became the minister of Internal Affairs for Theiónikos. During this time, Yimmu-Audal and Aldovir joined arms to form the Empire of Astyllea. Due to this reform, individual states, like Theiónikos got more rights. Using these new reforms, Archon Asseli-Nak renamed the title of Sahrad to the title of Diwan. Bob also became a Magister, a member of the nobility in the Archonate. Bob continues to build Evangalista up and sees a bright future ahead for the city.

#### Archonship of Theionikos

Due to health issues, Asseli-kev-nak had to resign as Archon. His last wish was that the council of Theios would be formed, to choose his succesor. In this council Bob was chosen to be the next Archon. One day after taking power in Theionikos, Astyllea fell apart. Bob tried to hold Theionikos together true the storm that was the collapse, he needed to deal with rebel factions and outside forces. He held a vote with all the nobels of Theionikos, and it was decided that Theionikos would join the new YA that was being formed between Talor, Anosphey and Yimmu-Audal (the state). After the merging was completed, he focussed on the revived Theionikos road project and making Theionikos active again. He continues to do these things, and sees a bright future ahead of Theionikos.

#### Coma and stepping down

The reign of Bob was long and peaceful, whilst the newly reformed High Kingdom of Yimmu-Audal changed its allegiance from empire to empire. The Theioniki focused on themselves, their economy, and their infrastructure. Under Bob a reserve treasury was created to help the Archonate in times of need, a tradition that persists throughout the Archons that would follow him.

But not all was rainbows and sunshine, the Archon had many periods of sickness and suffered from a whole range of diseases. Because the Archonate is so centered around the Archon himself, this lead to years of carnage. This was reduced by the aid of his beloved nephew Cirandir, who would later become his designated heir. Through many periods, Cirandir would find himself ruling the Archonate almost by himself.

And thus after the Archon fell into a coma that lasted over a year, he and the council of Theios decided to declare Bob, still alive, dead to the outside. Cirandir was subsequently crowned as Archon; with all ceremonies being completed. The secret that the former Archon was still alive, was only known to the highest circles of Yimmu-Audal and Theionikos.

But this decision came back to bite Cirandir in the ass, so to speak. After 2 years of being in a vegetative state, Bob opened his eyes once again. Not that he sought to regain his throne, but he knew that his reign was over. But they were, of course, in a rather sensitive situation. Bob couldn't announce that he was alive after all, less he weakened the reign of his nephew. So it was decided to spread rumours of some sort of heavenly revival. There were already rumours that Theios and his angels heavily favoured house Galus, after the miraculous recoverance of Bob's son, Miles.

So it happened, after some months of gospel, and Bob staying in his castle, he made his first public appearance at a celebration of the Mother Hanach in the temple in Evangalista. He easily reentered his life as a high standing noble, but this time he would be less involved in the politics of the Archonate. From that time on, he mostly kept to his castle, and he of course occasionaly adviced his nephew.
