Amon Gus

***Amon I***

**Amon I of the Two Sicilies, House Gus** was the King of the Two Sicilies after creating the title in 1804. Gus had also priorly been a Governor, criminal, and founder and chairman of the Patriot Party and The Patriot in the United States. Gus is also the twin brother of another Governor, Fring Gus, and was an heir to the prominent Gus Family.

## Governorship

Amon Gus was elected as the Governor of New Hampshire in 1794, taking up the position in early 1795. The first things Gus would do as governor was to refuse to uphold the Woman's Rights Act of 1794, something Linda Banks would sue them for, winning in Banks v. New Hampshire. Gus would also after the case was filed launch an investigation into Linda Banks for sodomy and rape, something which never came to his fruition.

Gus would try to dissolve the Supreme Court of New Hampshire, and would fail in doing so. Gus would then re-legalize slavery in New Hampshire, calling african americans "dangerous". Gus would try to overthrow Vermont for not removing a black Representative from power in 1796, which would result in the death of his 10th cousin 3 times removed Smith Gus, when that was unsuccessful Gus would order a lynch mob to kill Representative William Webster of Vermont, and when it was done a warrant would be placed out for his arrest. Gus would summon roughly 1,900 men to defend him during the March on Concord, they were defeated soundly, however Gus dueled with Charles Benckendorf, the commander of the opposing force, killing him. Gus was imprisoned, and 6 days later convicted of murder, conspiracy to murder, and insurrection. Eventually he'd also be heard in the Supreme Court in United States v. Gus, where it was decided that Governors did not have the authority to impede federal investigations.

## King of the Two Sicilies

In 1801 after the French gained New Hampshire and Maine from the New England Republic, the French released Amon to defend the territories, and after giving it back to the United States Amon was sent to live in Naples with his family for the rest of his days. Amon however wanted to regain power, but knowing he was deeply unpopular in his homeland, Amon decided there was one thing to do.

In 1804 the Second American Civil War was wrapping up to it's grand close, and Amon would organize with the last President of the Republic of Dixieland, his cousin Marcus Gus, to flee to Europe. The Gus Cousins would decide to bring the army of Marcus to Europe, Marcus had been stranded in Rhode Island after a short invasion, and Benckendorf threatened death on those defectors, Marcus ultimately fled Rhode Island with most of his army, shortly thereafter closing out the Second American Civil War. Marcus had originally planned an invasion of Istanbull, but after a major navigational blunder landed in Syracuse.

Marcus decided to continue going anyways, taking many lands in Sicily, and promised liberation from the Italian nobles who had been oppressing them with high taxes as of late. Marcus was viewed as a liberator, and in a popular revolt he finished off the last of the forces of Naples in Sicily. Marcus would move to Naples next, but in communications with Amon they would organize another popular revolt on the peninsula, succeeding greatly, and transforming most of the Naples army into their own, toppling the former king. With these together Amon was crowned the first King of the Two Sicilies, a new title created from the Kingdoms of Sicily and Naples, meanwhile Marcus was appointed Duke of Sicily.

In 1805 Amon began the War of the Papal Lands, trying to invade the Papal State and Rome in specific. Amon and Marcus were beaten back outside Rome, and would end up resetting a defensive northern barrier, this being held for 2 more years.

In late July of 1807 King Amon I caught a bad cold, and he would succumb to the cold on August 3, 1807. Amon had a 15 year old son Amon II, who immediately seceded him on the throne, but his cousin and closest advisor Duke Marcus Gus had thought himself better suited for the throne, and would rebel, starting the War of Violets.

## Personal Life

Amon Gus was born as one of two twins, the other being Fring Gus, on January 16, 1761. Amon was born to Harry and Isabell Gus, a rich family. Amon was very influenced by his grandfather Gustavo Gus, becoming a reportedly very racist man, and even running heavily on it for his Governor Race. Gus apparently had been in the military, but evidence is shaky, and all documentation has been lost.

Amon would only have two kids, Among Gus Jr. on February 19, 1792 and Leonardo Gussolini on May 31, 1804.
