- Georges' last words to Vincent de Grande

Georges Sparre Arholte was the former Grand Chancellor of the Runick Republic, making him also the first to have filled this occupation. He was known to be hard working, very intelligent about politics and had even mastered essence magic until his untimely death which kickstarted Runick involvement in the Six Year War.

## Early Life

Born in 1862, as the youngest of two children, he spent his childhood as the son of a nobleman, whom was the Duke of Tripolon, which was at the time owned by the Runick Kingom, led by Anthony Frànen. Georges was just eleven when the Sargonic War started, and his family was killed when their family home was raided by Sargonic Soldiers.

For the next seven years he was forced to live off vermin to survive whilst Phantom soldiers patrolled the streets. Many argue he has trauma from during the war, and he is also described as ``cold, uncaring and blank at times``. During his Chancellorship, Georges refused to go to any parades or festivals which include fireworks, as he has PTSD from the war.

## Ascension

When the war came to its' finale, and the last Sargonic Remnants in Runick were destroyed, the Runick Republic was formed. After a year or so of the senate working out a functional political system, Georges was nominated to become the first chancellor at the age of eighteen because of his bravery and resourcefulness during the war, along with his inspiring movement for liberty and democracy.

He won the vote by only a few percent, becoming the first chancellor of the Runick Republic. He was the one who made the 1st Amendment of the Runick Republic, stating that the nation was only allowed to be ruled by a democracy consisting of atleast more than 15 members, and that anyone who attempted to instate a monarchy, dictatorship or anything like it would be removed from office immediately.

This was like a kick in the balls for nations like Northland, which couldn't imagine an empire of such size to be democratic. This caused a bit of distrust between the large world powers but not necessarily tension. When everyone realized the Ozogian Empire had began growing a bit too quick for comfort, Northland, the Munzig Reich, Osconian Empire and Ardeliman Empire came together to create and anti-Ozogian coalition, the Quadruple Alliance. They didn't invite the Republic as they found it a bit too hostile to make a direct alliance with.

Georges instead saw it as the world powers trying to team up against him, and grew ever more paranoid. His stance towards them became more aggressive, and what was once a mild distrust had now grown into a deep anxiety and aggression. He decided that he could make his own coalition to balance the scales, and so he formed the Immunity Coalition. The main members of the Coalition were the Runick Republic, Ozogian Empire, Shanghuan Dynasty and Kingdom of Pruenaz.

In 1891, Georges' term expired and he abdicated from Chancellorship, becoming a Senator and the Minister of War. During his rule he reformed the Runick Republic like no other, strengthening it and making it a considerable world power in only a few years.

## Beliefs and alignments:

Georges blamed the Sargonic war on what he called *``The squabbling monarchs of Eneric, who think they're the best of the best, whilst simultaneously killing thousands because of something like a piece of damn cheese.``*, a quote he'd become notorious for.

He believed that monarchies were supposed to be a thing of the past, whereas democracy and the breaking of tradition is what a modern society required to thrive. The Sargonic war, he said, was what allowed him to see the issues in a single-leader government, and that Eneric had become not the home of world powers, but of little men in golden seats waging war over the slightest inconvenience.

## Death

In 1911, mere months before the outbreak of the Six Year War, Georges and his wife were assasinated whilst riding home after a senatorial debate, he was shot in the chest. He was rushed to the Artus National Hospital but they declared it to be too late, his last words to the chancellor at that time, Vincent de Grande, were: *``Give these bastards* *hell, Vincent.,*, reffering to Northland, whom he suspected for the attack himself.

The culprit initally fled but was later caught and killed in a firefight, he was later identified as NIA agent Matthias Nortalmer. The Northic government was questioned but denied having had anything to do with the attacks, but basically everyone knew otherwise. The attack would cause the Runick Republic to get themselves involved in the war, launching their all out invasion of the Munzig Reich and later Northland.

## Interesting stories

Georges, during his time under the floorboards at the time of the Third Sargonic War, domesticated a rat he was going to eat which he named Ernest. Ernest died in 1887 and was a beloved pet of Georges.
