## Biography

### Early life (365 ASB - 383 ASB)

Torsten Frost was born on M10-03 365 ASB in the village of Klobuk to a low income family.

On M10-03 383 ASB Frost joined the Tyrania Defense Force (TDF) and was assigned to the Kingdom's capital Pardagia.

### Work for the Tyrania Defense Force (383 ASB - 398 ASB)

On M8-25 394 ASB Torsten Frost was approaching the TDF headquarters when he saw an object fall out of the sky and crash through the roof of the building, the building then exploded, this was the beginning of Liquid Carbon's invasion during the Great Soil War. Frost decided to enter what was left of the building in search of survivors and too wait for any other TDF members who were not present. More members of the TDF arrived soon after Frost did, the highest ranking officer who arrived was Captain Victor Duran who ordered those present to barricade the building, after that was done he ordered his forces into the tunnels below.

Frost and his fellow TDF members emerged from the tunnels on M8-28 394 ASB in the house of Victor Duran in one of the cities residential areas, Duran then gave them their next orders, "Travel through the tunnels and cause conflict for the occupiers in any way you can, return here every night." On M9-13 394 ASB the Liquid Carbon's began executing anyone whom they suspected of working with Duran's forces, many of those under him expressed a desire to leave the TDF because of it, however it only made Frost more determined to rise up against them.

On M10-17 394 ASB Torsten Frost met with Victor Duran who he had been told had a special assignment for him. Victor Duran told Frost that his assignment was to travel through the tunnels with a small group to the area directly under Liquid Carbon's base in the city where several explosives were to be placed and detonated causing the entire structuring to sink into the tunnels next he would enter into the structure and attempt to rescue King Mulch II of Tyrania. Frost set off through the tunnels on M10-19 394 ASB with a group of ten others and arrived bellow. As Frost and his forces were approaching the area they spotted a Liquid Carbon soldier though he appeared to not spot them, Frost ordered his forces to hold their ground until the solider moved. After several hours of waiting Frost ordered his forces to sleep for the night in shifts despite his fears of sleeping in the tunnels. By the next morning the soldier still hadn't moved, Frost was unwilling to spend another night in the tunnels and just after noon he ordered his forces to fire on the soldier and the soldier very quickly fell over. After the successful battle Frost ordered his men to make sure the soldier was dead, what they discovered was that the soldier was never alive to begin with being little more than several bags of sand fitted with a Liquid Carbon soldier's equipment. After their encounter with the fake Liquid Carbon Frost's forces quickly set up the explosives and encountering many more fake Liquid Carbons whilst doing it, after that they retreated back and detonated them causing the entire Liquid Carbon base to fall into the tunnels. Frost and his forces quickly entered into the base and began searching for Mulch II, by the time that they had located him they had encountered only two Liquid Carbons who were quickly killed. The group now including Mulch II and a few other prisoners left the base unimpeded by the Liquid Carbons.

Following the destruction of their base the Liquid Carbons in the city relocated to the Castor Palace which had already been acting a secondary base. On M10-22 394 ASB the Liquid Carbons announced that for every Liquid Carbon killed in the city a random household would be executed and that this order was retroactive and would take place after dark during the curfew. Almost immediately after the announcement Victor Duran summoned his forces and announced that they were going to stop the executions from being carried out, Frost was ordered to travel through the tunnels to just below one of the Castor Palace's guard towers where he would wait until nightfall to fight his to the top of the tower where he would take up a position as a sniper and fire on any Liquid Carbons leaving the palace. Frost followed his orders as given right up until he entered into the tower where he was met with no resistance all the way to the top where he spotted the watchman, though he did not move. Frost waited a few minutes and the guard did not move, he then walked up behind the guard and pushed him over, it was a dummy. When Liquid Carbons began leaving the Castor Palace Frost began firing at them, it went well at first with Frost managing to down seven soldiers, then a shell struck the side of the town and it collapsed, Frost was crushed under it.

Frost spent the next two days under the tower unconscious, when he awoke he found himself partially buried in rubble which he managed to brush off, he soon looked around at the city and saw that the much of the Castor Palace had been destroyed and that significantly more of the town was in ruins. After a brief moment of looking around Frost heard people yelling at him and saw two members of the TDF hiding behind some rubble trying to get his attention. Frost attempted to walk towards them but discovered that he couldn't stand on his right leg so he instead crawled towards them. When he reached his fellow TDF members he asked what had happened and was informed that the Liquid Carbons had adopted a policy of simply killing whoever they can via whatever means they can, Frost was directed into the tunnels to receive medical aid.

On M11-29 395 ASB the Liquid Carbon forces in Pardagia withdrew, Frost was still recovering from his injuries at the time.

On M5-05 396 ASB Mulch II granted Torsten Frost the rank of Captain in the Tyrania Defense Force.

Following the Liquid Carbon withdrawal and reestablishment of Loaman Empire rule relations between the TDF and the civilian populace began to deteriorate with many blaming the TDF for the inciting the atrocities committed against them. On M8-19 398 ASB Torsten Frost resigned from his position in the TDF and set off to the city of Miscanthus where he hoped to start a new life trading with the Kingdom of Clayistan.

### Trader (398 ASB - 438 ASB)

On M9-09 398 ASB Torsten Frost established a trade company in Miscanthus and began trading with the Kingdom of Clayistan.

On M1-29 401 ASB the Loaman Empire banned all trade with League of Soils countries including the Kingdom of Clayistan. Torsten Frost decided that it was in his best interests to continue trading with Clayistan and set about trying to establish an illegal trade network. Frost initially sought to use what he knew about the land routes to smuggle goods in and our of Clayistan but after the arrest of several other smugglers he decided that he would be better off charting a route through the caverns that ran underneath the area. Frost also decided that he would need a private way into the caverns so he began having his employees dig a hole in the basement of his company's office.

On M4-02 401 ASB Frost's men broke into the caverns. Frost decided that the best way to chart the caverns was to send in multiple groups who would stay in the caverns for an extended period of time. On M4-16 401 ASB Frost sent three groups of four men into the caverns with two weeks worth of supplies, Frost was a part of one of the groups.

Frost returned to his company's office on M4-28 401 ASB after failing to find a route into Clayistan, his group was the first to return. On M4-30 401 ASB a second group returned with a route into Clayistan. The third group never returned. Frost began trading through his subterranean route almost immediately.

By 412 ASB Torsten Frost's company was suspected by both the Soil Union and the Kingdom of Fringia of illegally trading with Clayistan, though no search of the company's office had taken place. On M12-25 412 ASB Soil Union forces stormed Frost's company's office and captured Frost. Frost was brought to a cell in the Canthus Palace where he was told that he would remain until he could be moved to Voltucique to be tried for treason.

On M1-02 413 ASB whilst still imprisoned in his cell Frost was visited by the King of Fringia Hosta VI. Hosta VI told Frost that he knew that he had helped rescue King Mulch II of Tyrania and that he probably owed Frost for the rescue, he went on to claim that Mulch II's rescue party was already on its way to Miscanthus. Hosta VI then left and left the door into Frost's cell open, Frost the left the building.

Following his escape Frost continued to trade with Clayistan though he himself away from the public via never staying in the same house for too long.

During the Second Shale Invasion of of the Soil Texture Continent Frost's company began importing arms from Clayistan.

Torsten Frost was hired on M12-10 438 ASB by the Duke of Ackanalund Aster II as an advisor and left Miscanthus for Ackanalund.

### Advisor to Aster II (438 ASB - 442 ASB)

On M6-12 442 ASB Loaman Emperor Loamo I boarded the Armoured Navel Fortress and left the Loaman Empire, eight days later a group of counties in the south of the empire declared their independence as Nnukwu Ala. Aster II asked Frost to give his opinion on the best time for his duchy to declare independence, Frost told him to wait two or three weeks to see how Nnukwu Ala was faring. On M7-08 442 ASB the Duchy of Ackanalund declared independence from the Loaman Empire as the Kingdom of Ackanalund and began attacking the various Loam controlled holdings on their borders, Aster II changed his title to Aster I of the Kingdom of Ackanalund.

On M9-07 442 ASB the East Loaman Empire declared war on the Kingdom of Ackanalund along with the newly independent Kingdom of Fringia and Kingdom of Tyrania. Three days later the kings of the three countries met in the city of Roti to come up with a way to deal with the attacking East Loaman Empire, Frost accompanied Aster I. During the meeting it was decided that the only way to properly deter future Loaman Empire successor states was to form a Clay Loam Confederation. It was quickly decided that the Clay Loam Confederation's military would be led by three field marshals, each appointed by one of the three kingdoms they would then choose a supreme commander from amongst themselves per conflict. What wasn't decided quickly was who would be the head of state and represent the confederation diplomatically. On M11-24 442 ASB Torsten Frost was chosen to serve as the Chancellor of the Clay Loam Confederation.

### Chancellor (442 ASB - present)

Torsten Frost remained in Roti following the formation of the Clay Loam Confederation as that was the country's new capital.

The war with the East Loaman Empire ended with a ceasefire on M2-29 443 ASB.

On M4-09 443 ASB Torsten Frost struck a deal with the President of Silty Clay Loam Skellard Moaruit, they would send their forces into the interior of the Republic of Silty Clay Loam and put down the Interior Liberation Army and in exchange the two of them would become allies with the Clay Loam Confederation continuing to patrol the interior, this deal was aproved by the three kings.

On M5-10 446 ASB the Kingdom of Clayistan invaded the Clay Loam Confederation, Torsten Frost declared a state of war immediately.

The war with Clayistan ended with a cease fire on M6-20 447 ASB. During the war the confederation lost a great deal of land in the west of the country but gained a significant amount in the east due largely to the actions of Aster I who was acting as Supreme Commander during the war. Following the war Aster I refused to hand over control of the conquered territory to the confederal government and claimed that it bellonged to the Kingdom of Ackanallund, Torsten Frost decided to travel to Ackanallund to try and reason with Aster I. Torsten Frost arrived at Ackanallund on M6-27 447 ASB where he met with Aster I. Frost asked Aster I why he insisted on occupying the newly conquered Clayistan territory, he told Frost that he did not beleive that the Confedederation had the ability to survive much longer as an independant state and that they had been lucky with the prior two wars. On M6-30 447 ASB Aster I declared the creation of the Clay Loam Empire and contacted both Hosta VI and Mulch II and demanded that they recognize him as emperor or he would invade their Kingdom's and instal new kings who would, they accepted Aster I's demand. Aster I informed Frost that his position of Chancelor had trasfered over into the Clay Loam Empire.
