## Biography

E.B Banarjee was born on Yakiyah to ACRE Marketers. While growing up, he watched the Farmers on Yakiyah, some discontent with their lot in life, but also many who found it a stable existence. He would soon take over his parent's roles in the company and in 3170 was sent to Hong Lu. It was here that he saw the inequality between those that were low down and those that were high up more starkly, Cygnus being very different overlords to ACRE. He had also found a copy of *The Great Divide* by Karl Engels but found it lacking. He began his first draft of his yet unnamed book which recognized the inequality but also made the argument for the stability and unity offered by some hierarchy. When Crux revealed the Cygnus plot, at first it led credence to his theory as Crux, by protecting the people from Cygnus, were demonstrating Noblisse Oblige.

However, it was soon clear that this was no honourable act with many Synths being rounded up and retired and people connected to them disappearing. The Bombing of Gats crossed one of Banarjee's lines and it was clear that there was need for change. The Noble's were overstepping their bounds and using Corporations for their own ends. He remained on Hong Lu, watching the revolution as it unfolded. It too resulted in the deaths of many Synths and people and he began a separate draft of a book titled *Revolution: The High and Lu.* In 3195, he and several others were finally able to transport out of Hong Lu and Banarjee returned to Yakiyah where there was a movement of varying ideologies joining together. He never turned up to continue working and from there on proceeded to reside in UPC HQ. *Noblisse Oblige: The Need for Change* then published a few months later.
