Jakub du Dvrak

## Jakub Georgerov du Dvrak

Jakub Georgerov du Dvrak is the Head Governor of Colonî du Meight, direct subordinate of the Haniqra of Sefadiir, owner of DMG. (Du Meight Group) and a somewhat influential individual across the lands of Alverya. He is known for his pragmatism and cynicism, his loyalty to the Sefadiirian Haniqdere, his corrupt morals, and for his more moderate approach to regional and internal politics inside and outside of his mother nation of Sefadiir.

## History

Born to a blacksmith and a disgraced estate baroness, Jakub didn't have the best childhood. While he never struggled, his family faced scrutiny due to his fathers common descent and his mothers disregard to noble standards. Even so, Jakub followed business schools around the world, and when of wage he entered the estate business taking over whatever estates his elderly mother still had.

### The Beginning of something beautiful.

With time, Jakub slowly grew the crumbling estates business his mother ran, but that came with a great price. He, like other people of his stature, became greedy with the passing of time, and with the amassing of wealth. Yet, his family began to hate him for it. During a visit home, he got in a massive argument with his family over inheritance, which ended with him adopting his fathers name to mock him, to show him that he was the better du Dvrak and promised to erase his mothers legacy, whatever it was.

### What a fool He was...

No more family meant that Jakub was for the first time alone, and he proceeded to fill his loneliness with work, expanding his estate business, and different other activities. He swore that he won't ever fall in the same pit as his mother, regretting ever listening to them. During his time growing his estate empire, he got an offer from the Haniqdere of Sefadiir, to establish a colony somewhere west. Seeing the endless possibility behind this proposal, Jakub sold most of his assets, and bet it all on the colony.

### The House always wins.

With the preparations completed, Jakub would set sail from Sefadiir towards the west, eventually arriving on a peninsula. There he would set up Colonî du Meight, claiming the land to be rightfully owned by the Meight Estates Company, his mothers company, which he reestablished after being briefly defunct due to his mother erasing it. Yet some other interest came to the colony with him. Companies, conglomerates and business men traveled from Sefadiir to Meight, bringing their business with them. Jakub, the now Head Governor of Colonî du Meight quickly made a deal with the corporations, giving them unlimited reach and influence in the colony, for the sweet price of investing a lot into the colony itself, making the estates grow in price and making the Head Governor more and more rich.

### On the dark side of the Moon.

While his pockets were lined by corporate funds, he was also completely ignorant of the corporate disregard of basic laws, engaging in extortions and pyramid schemes, everything in the name of profits. Crime was common place for corporations, and they payed Jakub a pretty buck to just ignore all the blatant law infractions and protect their interests. With this symbiotic relationship flourishing, Jakub got slowly more and more richer.

## Recent History

### The Skulk Incursion

Alverya was under threat from a skulk invasion, and while some where awaiting for their so called salvation, many took action and attacked the skulk head on, and one such person was xGqbe, the slayer of the Hive Queen. While he and his comrades gloated in victory, the skulk priests and their followers assembled to attack and kill xGqbe for his transgression. Yet some enterprising individuals saw an opportunity. Soon, Jakub and some of the Colonial Guards crossed the sea to Sefadiir where, under the guidance of the Haniqdere attacked xGqbe and his guards, slaying many of the foes, not in the name of the skulk, but in the name of money. During the long days of hunting, the band of hunters would stumble upon the Azure Monastery where, xGqbe had hid. The Hive however would soon also make an appearance attacking everyone, including the mercs, who were sieging down the Monastery. Despite the chaos, the Hive would be beaten by an impromptu militia, while xGqbe survived. The Colonial troops and many others would be struck by "Haids", a skulk plague, contracted from direct exposure to skulk. While Jakub was not affected, many Colonial troops were, and those that couldn't get treatment were executed and burned, as to not spread the disease. Despite that, xGqbe would go on to survive, and the Colonial Guards would return home empty handed and with minimal losses. More concerning, however, was the immediate meeting held in Sefadiir, which revealed the Haniqdere's plan to burn xGqbe's house and attack Hisborna if he wasn't forfeited.

And at the last moment, a Sefadiirian delegation negotiated with Hisborna for xGqbe to receive a fair trial in Sefadiir. Jakub's implication in this would be as neutral jury during the proceedings, citing the weak tactics used by the defense, and giving xGqbe the guilty verdict.

### Colonial Blues

Colonî du Meight has always been regarded as a very stable region, mostly due to the naive Movilians, the locals of the Movilia Peninsula, where the colony resides. With this in mind, the colony expanded, finally having a working port, which allowed faster and easier transportation across the seas and the exploration of the local areas, and establishment of the D'Varnău outpost, in the archipelago with the same name. The cheese business will also flourish during this period of time, all headed by the corporations but by especially Jakub. Despite all of these advances, not all was merry. With the death of the local Sniffer God *"The Goobler"*, and the resulting failed investigation, coupled with the growing issues in the worker populace, many feel that the cracks in the colonial system have begun to show. Only time will tell...

## Personality

Once he could've been described as a merry and kind fellow, with a bright future ahead of him. Yet, the business world and its underworld quickly turned him into a ruthless and a morally corrupt individual, giving even his family life up for his profits. While he still has a set of principles and morals, which he still follows, they are still severely ill intentioned and corrupt. Set in his own way, despite being a corporate lapdog, he still squabbles with the Corporations, mostly when his decaying sense of morals are betrayed. However, one thing still remained from his former self, his tenacity.
