## History

### Mayor of Orlando, Florida

Buddy Dyer was elected Mayor of Orlando, Florida on February 25th, 2003, officially being promoted as the 32nd Mayor of Orlando. Buddy Dyer eventually became prominently known as Orlando's longest-serving Mayor.

### Responding to the Ogre Invasion

*"Jim, those teenagers are believed to be behind all of this! They're in prison for God's sake!"
"Well we ain't got no other choice. Get me the... the... Shrekbusters!"
"But sir! Releasing those hooligans out could ruin your image! Think about the election!"
"What WILL make me look bad is if I don't do anything to save this town! NOW GET ME THE SHREKBUSTERS!"*
―Tommy Fillmore and Mayor Buddy[src]

In 2016, Mayor Buddy was constantly told by his colleagues of the Orlando Government that several hundreds of green monsters were on the verge of destroying Orlando. Mayor Buddy sought to have a meeting with the other bureaucratic members of the government in his office, continuing to be told by his subordinates that Orlando was going through a turmoil, despite already knowing what was happening. Mayor Buddy entered his office, questioning what was going on outside. Tommy Fillmore told the Mayor that they were doing the best they could, but the Mayor became disappointed, saying that while they were doing their best, he had started to go down in history as the Mayor who let Florida get sucked down into a tenth level of Hell.

Mayor Buddy was then interrupted by Jim, who proposed to release the members of the *Shrekbusters*, a professional Ogre-extermination service, from prison, hoping to have them deal with the situation. While Tommy Fillmore initially disapproved of Jim's idea, due to the *Shrekbusters* having been deemed to be behind the turmoil, Mayor Buddy concluded it was the only choice they had. Tommy tried to reason with the Mayor, saying that releasing the *Shrekbusters* could ruin his reputation. However, Mayor Buddy concluded that what would make him look terrible is if he didn't do anything to save Orlando, and demanded Tommy to bring him the *Shrekbusters*.

### Meeting with the *Shrekbusters*

*"Now, you see, what we're gonna do is turn the portal into a trap and then suck them back in."
"And if it doesn't work?"
"If it doesn't work, well then, SHIT! We're screwed! Humanity is dead...! BUT, if it does work, Buddy, you will have saved the lives of millions of registered voters! What do you say to that, Buddy ol' buddy!?"
"Don't make fun of my name."
"My bad..."*
―Jason Bermudez and Mayor Buddy[src]

Mayor Buddy was still present in his office alongside Tommy Fillmore when the *Shrekbusters* were brought in. Mayor Buddy then realized that Raymond Floyd wasn't with them, before being told by Lily Moser that he wasn't with them. Entering the office, Ray told Mayor Buddy that the *Shrekbusters* were the ones who caused the mess, resulting in Jason Bermudez to prevail to attack him. However, the Mayor stopped everyone, demanding answers to what happened. Daniel Coleman explained that while they were at the Bermudez Residence, Ray trespassed the property and threw Jason at the Ogre Containment Unit, making it explode and unleash all the Ogres that were contained inside of it.

Mayor Buddy had Ray removed after he tried to attack the *Shrekbusters*, and started asking what was happening and what they needed. Alex Rainsford then told Mayor Buddy that Orlando was headed towards a terrifying Ogre invasion, confusing him. However, Lily convinced the Mayor to ultimately realize that, whether or not he believed in the existence of Ogres, Orlando was truly headed towards a disaster, one that Daniel described to be of Biblical proportions. Mayor Buddy then asked if the *Shrekbusters* had a plan, with Jason stating they were going to try and turn the portal that was created in place of the Bermudez Residence into a giant trap, capable of sucking the Ogres back into the Ogre Dimension. The Mayor had his initial doubts the plan wouldn't work, but ultimately concluded that it was worth a shot. He then asked what they needed from him, which was when Jason requested the entire United States army, much to the Mayor's confusion. The *Shrekbusters* later ultimately succeeded in their plan, stopping the Ogre invasion for good.

### Congratulating the *Shrekbusters*

*"From now on, the Shrekbusters will be under protection by the City of Orlando. And as an additional gift, this firehouse as your new headquarters."*
―Mayor Buddy to the *Shrekbusters*[src]

One month following the end of the Ogre invasion, Mayor Buddy sought to reward the *Shrekbusters* for their hard work, and sent Andrew Walsh to retrieve them. Bringing them to where he was, the Mayor told the *Shrekbusters* that from now on, they would be protected by the City of Orlando, subsequently providing them a new Orlando Firehouse to be their headquarters. He then stated that the rent for the building was covered for two years. Mayor Buddy then prevailed to leave, only to be reminded that he had one more surprise for the group, which was an official graduation ceremony for Jason, Daniel, and Alex. Both Mayor Buddy and Andrew Walsh handed out their diplomas, much to their satisfaction.
