## Biography

### Early Life (345 ASB - 365 ASB)

Dao Go was born on M11-27 345 ASB to a pair of Sandy Clay parents in Port Alander within the Sandy Clay Autonomous Region of the Kingdom of Clayistan. On M11-27 361 ASB, Dao Go joined the Sandy Clay Regional Army and achieved the rank of captain by M2-07 364 ASB.

### Sand War (365 ASB - 375 ASB)

On M11-07 365 ASB, the Sandy Clay Regional Army was sent to liberate the Kingdom of Sandy Clay Loam from the Sand Republic. When the army arrived within viewing distance of the Sand Republic's forces, Dao Go told his superior officer Major Arnold Cushings that it would be impossible to liberate the kingdom, due to being outnumbered and them not possessing the superior terrain. Cushings informed him that their orders came directly from King Claysius IV of Clayistan, and to defy these orders would be treasonous. A month after being sent out to war on M1-09 366 ASB, Dao Go and the rest of the Sandy Clay Regional Army, under the leadership of General Herman Crag, attempted to storm the Sandy Clay Loam Plateau. The subsequent eight month long battle resulted in the deaths of all of the officers in command positions above the rank of Captain, and on M8-03 366 ASB Dao Go was elected into the position of temporary leader of the Sandy Clay Regional Army. Instead of ordering another doomed assault, Dao Go ordered the army to retreat back into Clayistan Proper. Upon nearing the border, Dao Go noticed that the Southern Walls were now occupied by the Clayistan soldiers and ordered the Sandy Clay Regional Army to begin moving towards the opening in the walls. The soldiers were about to enter Clayistan, when the soldiers on top of the walls opened fire on them. Dao Go responded to this by ordering his men to retreat back towards the Sandy Clay Loam Plateau, however only a fraction of his men obeyed the order due to the confusion. He ordered the remainder of the army to surrender to the Sand Republic on M8-11 366 ASB.

On M2-26 367 ASB, Dao Go arrived in the Loamy Sand city of Abeheit for interrogation. His initial interrogator demanded to know how the Clayistan was able to man the walls so quickly and what weaknesses they had, but Dao Go knew nothing and said nothing. Every time Dao Go said he didn't know the answer to the questions, he was beaten. On M4-14 368 ASB, his interrogator was replaced by General Tripe Alonzo. Dao Go was told by Tripe Alonzo that if he did not give him the information he wanted, he would sever his right foot. When Dao Go informed him that he did not know the answers to his questions, Tripe Alonzo tied Go down, produced a blade and sawed off Go's right foot. Afterwards, Alonzo declared that Dao Go knew nothing and had him sent to a local prison camp.

On M6-02 374 ASB, Dao Go was transferred back to his home in Port Alander and placed under house arrest, where he acquired a wooden foot to replace the one that had been severed, and on M1-04 375 ASB, when the Sand War ended, Dao Go was fully released.

### Rise to Power (375 ASB - 391 ASB)

On M1-08 375 ASB, the then-Clay General, Clancy Paige, was placed in charge of the the Sandy Clay Regional Army and promoted Dao Go to the rank of Major and placed in charge of the garrison in Port Alander two days later. The following year, Dao Go led soldiers in the Rogue Sand Uprising and helped liberate the land south of the Sandy Clay Autonomous Region's capital Sunbell from General Tripe Alonzo. On M3-20 377 ASB, after the Rogue Sand Uprising, Dao Go was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and reassigned to the garrison in Sunbell. On his first day in Sunbell, Dao Go was spoken to telepathically by the Emperor of Shale who claimed to be the god of the Sandy Clay and told him that the time of Sandy Clay submission to Clay was over and it was time for Sandy Clay to become the dominant soil, Dao Go admitted to the voice he thought was his god that he despised Claysius IV for sending him to die during the Sand War, the Emperor of Shale then told him that he must make his opinions on Claysius IV available to the public. On M5-27 378 ASB Dao Go published his book about his experiences during the Sand War and his criticisms of Claysius IV titled 'The Southern Walls', General Clancy Paige had Dao Go stripped of his rank and removed from the army two days later. After being removed from the army Dao Go began writing his second book about government and it's relationship with its citizens titled 'Secrecy and Treason', it was released on M3-14 379 ASB.

On M4-24 379 ASB Claysius IV died and was succeeded by Manterro I who was overthrown and replaced by Dervot IV the next day. On M7-20 379 ASB Dervot IV removed General Clancy Paige as the head of the Sandy Clay Regional Army among other Claysius IV era government officials and the next day under the advice of his chief advisor Izza Fissil had Dao Go reinstated into the Sandy Clay Regional Army and promoted him to the rank of General to sever as the head of said army. On M7-17 381 ASB Dao Go convinced Governor of the Sandy Clay Autonomous Region Manfred Urchin to draft a law that would implement basic military training into the region's curriculum.

From M3-26 386 ASB to M4-25 386 ASB Dao Go had all of his Lieutenant Generals and Major Generals investigated to determine how many of them still had loyalties to the late Claysius IV, the investigation revealed that over half of them still had loyalties to Claysius IV, Go had these officers forcibly retired and replaced with his own loyalists who he claimed to his superiors in Ceramica were Dervot IV loyalists.

On M3-04 387 ASB Dao Go convinced Governor Manfred Urchin to implement mandatory military conscription into the Sandy Clay Regional Army. On M8-08 390 ASB following the death of the Mayor of Sunbell James Talon six days earlier, Dao Go requested that Manfred Urchin appoint him as the Mayor of Sunbell, Manfred Urchin declined the request, Dao Go then had the Sunbell garrison being led by Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Thompson storm the government building in Sunbell and forced Manfred Urchin to resign as the Governor of Sandy Clay Autonomous Region and declared himself the new Governor and promoted Theodore Thompson to the rank Brigadier and had him declared the Mayor of Sunbell.

### Great Soil War (391 ASB - 397 ASB)

On M9-01 391 ASB Dao Go declared the Sandy Clay Autonomous Region independent from Clayistan as the Revolutionary Republic of Sandy Clay and declared himself the head of state as the Prime Minister and head of government as the Commander in Chief, his first actions as the Commander in Chief was to send half of the army to capture defensive points in the Loaman Empire and Clayistan and to send the other half south to capture the Sandy State beginning the Great Soil War.

On M4-17 394 ASB Dao Go was woken up in government building in Sunbell by one of his lookouts, who informed him that a group of armed men who were later identified as being from the Soil Union had entered the building, Dao Go and the lookout quickly gathered up all the security forces and government workers in the building including Theodore Thompson. Go devised a plan and explained to the group that they would split into two groups the first being led by Theodore Thompson and the second being led by himself, the first group was to launch an assault of the main entrance whilst the second was to launch an assault of the caterer's entrance, the first group to break through would aid the other group by flanking the attackers from the outside, his reasoning for going with this plan was that he believed that this attack was an attempt to capture all of the key leaders of the Revolutionary Republic of Sandy Clay. The two groups formed and set off fifteen minutes after the plan was shared, Dao Go's group traveled into the catering room where they saw some of the armed men, who promptly retreated outside as soon as they saw Dao's group, Go then ordered his group to cautiously move towards the exit, the group was halfway through the catering room when an armoured vehicle rammed through the exit, the armed men being led by Frank Stallion returned the gaping hole in the wall and began opening fire on the now exposed Sandy Clays, at the same time a group of armed men got out of the armoured vehicle, grabbed Dao Go and dragged him back into the vehicle, Frank Stallion then entered the vehicle which then reversed and drove off.

Dao Go was driven in the back of Frank Stallion's armoured vehicle to the town of Brown Harbour on the Sandy Clay coast where he was instructed to exit the vehicle after doing so he watched Frank Stallion order his men to drive the armoured vehicle into the ocean, he was then escorted onto an abandoned freighter that was lodged on the shoreline, once on top of the freighter he had his wooden foot removed and was placed inside of a shipping container that had been converted into a rudimentary jail cell, he was replaced as the Commander in Chief of the Revolutionary Republic of Sandy Clay three days later. Dao Go was interrogated many times during his time in the shipping container by a variety of people including Frank Stallion using a variety of means but never revealed any useful information to him, by late 394 ASB it was decided by Frank Stallion that Dao Go knew nothing that they didn't already know. On M9-22 395 ASB Dao Go was given a table and writing supplies and had his leg returned to him, after receiving his equipment Dao Go began writing his third book this time about the specifics of how the government should function, the book was never given a title before it was confiscated after completion on M8-01 396 ASB. Frank Stallion left Brown Harbour later that year on M9-19 to take over the Soil Union following the death of Union Head Conrad Smith.

### Levilius Trials (397 ASB)

On M5-10 397 ASB Dao Go was informed by a guard that he had lost the war and that he was now awaiting trial for war crimes and on M5-12 397 ASB Dao Go was loaded onto a boat and taken to the Sandy Clay Loam port town of Rankus, he was then driven from Rankus to the Sandy Clay Loam city of Levilius where he was to stand trial for war crimes. The Levilius Trials had already began by the time that Go arrived at them on M5-16 397 ASB, Go stood trial on M5-18 397 ASB where he was found guilty of war crimes and sentenced to death by firing squad, he was executed via firing squad three days after he was tried.
