**Alexander Bush** was an Eldonian nobleman, merchant, entrepreneur, investor, and businessman. Belonging to House Gweel specializing in finances and former Second Arch Primarch & Acting King of Novaterra, Alexander played a huge role in expanding the economy of Novaterra. He is the founder of Abush Communications & Wart Mart; Former COO and Head of Marketing for the Eldham Monetary Fund; former CEO of Blackstone Foundation; and former Manager of Kaydo Studios. Born to a family of merchants in the Kingdom of Novaterra, the former colony of the Kingdom of Ozeanburg, Alexander was the third son of Gary and Isabella.

## Early Life

Born to the Bush family in the ocean Kingdom of Novaterra, Alexander was the third son of Gary and Isabella Bush. The Bush family were prominent traders and merchants who have been in the trading business for more than 10 years. Highly regarded in Novaterra, they were responsible for expanding the economy of the Kingdom of Novaterra. It is unknown where the Bush family came from.

During Alexander's youth, he would often spend his time with his brothers, Brian and Prescott Bush. Though he was a mischief at times, the locals regarded Alexander as a good child who was always keen in helping out others. However, a tragic occurrence happened when Novaterra suffered a terrible storm. All but Alexander survived when their district was completely devastated by a tsunami during a terrible storm and their house was almost completely destroyed, except for Alexander's room due to it being the nearest to the house's foundations.

Being only 14 years old when Alexander's family was gone, Alexander was deeply saddened by this. With fifty-percent of Novaterra being destroyed, Alexander and some of the Novaterrans had to live on the streets. As Novaterra started to recover from the disaster, the presence of the Bush family had immediately died down and the new generations of Novaterra did not recognize the history of the Bush family, nor Alexander himself. He had to live by eating leftovers thrown out by the local taverns until one day, Terry Max, a local tavern owner, recognized Alexander and took him in to take care of him.

With the loss of the Bush family, the economy in Novaterra heavily declined and it was in a state of crisis. The Kingdom of Novaterra fell into anarchy and many individuals were divided into groups. It was during this time where Alexander met his very first friends and allies Harley, Paragon, Marbles\_0, Aaaaz, and pokeninja77.

## Early Career & Adulthood

When the government forces of Novaterra had managed to calm the ensuing anarchy happening in Novaterra, Novaterra was still on a crash course with their economy. Without the connections of the Bush family, local businesses had to shut down their operations due to foreign traders and companies not having the knowledge that the Kingdom of Novaterra existed. At this period, Alexander was under the apprenticeship of his caretaker, Terry. Having acquired some business knowledge from work given by Terry, he decided to create his own supply company called Wart Mart.

During the development of Wart Mart, Alexander worked together with Aaaaz and Marbles\_0 to run the trading company. Aaaaz also suggested that Alexander should have an alias to avoid state taxes, so Alexander tried thinking of aliases. Weeks later, Alexander decided to go with the alias, "abush635." This alias was derived from "a" being Alexander's name, "bush" being his family name, and "635" being a secret password for a hidden treasure room that his ancestors had written on a paper, passed on as the family's heirloom.

As months went by, Wart Mart started to gradually grow. However, during its early phases, tensions rose among the founders and Marbles\_0 departed early from Wart Mart. Continuing on, Alexander together with Aaaaz, observed that in order to improve Novaterra's economy, they needed to jump in the crimson wood and redstone industry as their neighboring countries such as The Pale and The Kingdom of Lutum needed these materials in order to attend the huge demands of crimson wine and overworld & nether highways. After Alexander and Aaaaz concentrated on this venture, within a few months, the economy of Novaterra started to flourish quickly and name of the Bush family was revived thanks to this success.

#### Path to Power & Wealth

After Alexander's supply company had grew exponentially well, unfortunately his friend, Aaazz had to retire as his beloved cousin has called for his assistance in his journey. While working alone, Alexander's extraordinary skill and knowledge in business management and marketing had not gone unnoticed as it caught the attention of his childhood friend, Harley, the young and upcoming King of Novaterra. Harley saw potential in Alexander as he and his family belonged to House Gweel, which produced the best finance specialists. Harley decided to reconnect with Alexander and asked for his support while promising to make him one of the Primarches in Novaterra after he becomes King. Weeks later, Harley becomes King and made Alexander one of the Primarches, which resulted in more business opportunities.

However, when Harley became King, he was not very active in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Novaterra as he was busy travelling to other nations with the intention to promote Novaterra. Alexander, realizing that he could use this opportunity to take advantage of increasing his power, he decided to buy out other local businesses and made sure that Wart Mart was the sole trading company in order to have a monopoly in Novaterra. Although there were some small businesses that resisted, ultimately Alexander's persistence paid off and his company was now the sole trading company that represented Novaterra, which resulted in a huge growth for the economy of Novaterra. It was tremendously growing that Harley caught wind of this and sent a royal letter to his advisors to immediately promote Alexander to Arch Primarch.

## Numbered Days

#### As Arch Primarch

As the word of Alexander's promotion went around, the people of Novaterra were pleased to hear this as this contributed to the rapid growth of Novaterra, thereby restoring the people's pride and glory. However, this was short-lived. After just a couple weeks after Alexander's rise to power, he was faced with a crisis as an individual name Ginger was suddenly named the Acting King of Novaterra. Alexander was at first confused as he was not informed of this, but later found out that Harley had asked one of his allies, Ginger to become the Acting King of Novaterra to keep watch of Alexander and making sure that Harley's power stays intact.

Feeling betrayed, Alexander decided to take matters into his own hand and indirectly competed with the Acting King. Because Ginger was not being very active as the Acting King, Alexander decided to acquire more power by establishing several diplomatic relations with other nations and to use his supply company, Wart Mart as a tool in influencing Novaterra's economy and his own personal influence. Alexander's strategy worked and the citizens of Novaterra took it to the streets that Alexander should be the Acting King of Novaterra. With Ginger nowhere to be found, Alexander along with his loyal followers, took the Kingdom's castle peacefully and was proclaimed by the citizens as the Acting King.

#### Becoming Acting King

After Alexander became the Acting King of Novaterra, he decided to make sure that the citizens of Novaterra are provided with the best possible benefits. Alexander created many policies that were both met with positive and negative support. These policies included business & trading policies being more in favor of his own trading company, WartMart, state laws such as the change from currency to raw materials, as well as the restructuring of the Kingdom's government. Despite Alexander's many aggressive and controversial policies, ultimately his policies paid off and the Kingdom of Novaterra's economy rapidly grew, thereby reducing the rate of poverty among Novaterrans.

#### The Fall

Since Alexander's rise to power, the Kingdom of Novaterra was at its height of glory and power. The number of foreign merchants and traders passing through Novaterra doubled, however, due to its location being in the middle of the ocean, Novaterra has had a large history with huge ocean storms. It was around this time that the terrible storms approaching Novaterra would change the course of its history. This particular storm, dubbed by Novaterrans as "Sang Iblis" or "The Devil," produced some of the biggest tsunamis Novaterra has seen in its history. However, the citizens of Novaterra were confident that their kingdom would survive "Sang Iblis" as Alexander had been upgrading their defenses for storms.

As "Sang Iblis" started to disappear, Alexander noticed something peculiar. "Sang Iblis" left an eerie fog. Upon investigation, the eerie fog had brought an unknown deadly plague. Alexander observed that the citizens of the district nearby that fog had been completely decimated. The plague was so severe and deadly, it had killed more than 70% of Novaterra's population. With the absence of King Harley, Alexander had to figure out a way to make sure that his beloved nation survives this plague.

Unfortunately, despite Alexander's tantamount efforts, the Kingdom of Novaterra fell into despair and anarchy. Thousands of Novaterrans lost their lives during the plague and it plunged Novaterra into complete chaos. Alexander tried sending a royal letter to his friend, Harley, to come back as soon as possible, but he soon discovers that Harley had been spending his whole time in Rathnir using the tax paid by citizens of Novaterra. This made Alexander enraged for this betrayal. Feeling hopeless, Alexander and a remainder of his loyal followers had to evacuate immediately and set sail for one of their neighboring nations, The Vulperium.
