## Signature

### Early life

#### Childhood: 1880–1897

Lukas was born in the Pendorsian city of Berden. He was born on 9 December 1880. His father, was ethnically Pendorsian where his mother was ethnically Vilksian. But because he was born in Pendors, Lukas grew up speaking the Pendorsian language. He was their only child and as such, Alexander and Rebekka cared for him a lot.

Both of his parents were monarchists, being supportive of the monarchist regime in control of Pendors. And as such the police never put them under surveillance for subversive thought. Every summer they would go to the luxurious restaurant near where he lived. he spent much of his free time outdoors or reading books about history, he excelled at school.

### Revolutionary activity

#### Entry into politics and World War 1 (1897–1922)

It is unknown as to when Lukas got into the ideas of Morozov, but it is generally accepted that it happened between the years 1897-1905. But as Lukas kept reading more books about Morozov and Communism, his parents started to notice. They started searching his room from time to time hoping to find the books that he was reading. However, Lukas always declined to answer. But instead of reporting Lukas to the authorities, they kept it to themselves.

In January 1903, Lukas married Sara Rijova, a fellow Morozovist.

in 1907, Lukas moved with his wife to Norton, where he befriended Zbyshek Sokolov.

He lived in Berden for 5 more years until moving with his wife and Zbyshek to Gedera. in 1914, he founded the Pendorsian Communist Party and encouraged workers around Pendors to form trade union. He created his own type of Communism called Lukasism. But as the war turned worse and worse for Pendors, Lukas was worried that once the Empire is defeated, a democratic capitalist state would be the successor state of the Empire rather than a Communist state. And as such in 8 April 1920, he told the communist party's members to take up arms and rise up against the Empire, and so they did. This was known as the Communist Uprising of 1920 until it eventually became the Pendorsian Civil war.

in 7 February 1921, with the Empire of Pendors defeated, Lukas and Zbyshek proclaimed the creation of the Pendorsian People's Union. But 2 political groups would go and star a guerilla warfare campaign against the People's Union. However, the monarchist question came and Lukas has ordered the troops to not kill or arrest the Emperor of Pendors, but leave him as a normal citizen of the People's Union as he feared that the people of Pendors would betray the People's Union if the Emperor was to be killed and as such he was left alone eventually becoming a normal Pendorsian citizen.

the PPU would go on to defeat the Protection League in many battles because the troops of the protection league had low morale and were starting to be pacifist while the PPU's were with high morale, and had a cause to fight for. All of that led to the Treaty of Berden being signed in 6 January, 1922 effectively ending 9 years of conflict.

### Years of peace and death.

#### Years of peace (1923-1927)

After the end of World War 1, Lukas begun reconstructing. As much as he hated it, he took loans from the Republic of Rimton to reconstruct the People's Union.

In 1925, Lukas managed to get the country back to its shape in terms of stability and industrial capacity. He begun reforming the system that he hated. He established a welfare state, he increased minimum income, he increased spending on the State police, effectively increasing the security of the state, he made healthcare free and created a lot of jobs for unemployed Pendorsians to work.

#### Death (1928)

While on his way to the Communist Party's Headquarters in Berden, Lukas was shot 3 times, 2 in the chest and one in the head with a revolver. The shooter was identified as a member of the Royal Resistance. It was a tragic day for Pendors. The guy that helped the workers rise up, increase life standard in all of Pendors and helped the economy recover from World War 1 died. The nation was in shock and a manhunt for the Royal Resistance's leader started. A state funeral was held for Lukas and millions of people were there to say a final goodbye to the leader they loved.
