Wataumbu Uume Kunyonya Msaliti, known amongst Bruddist folk as ‘Wataumbu the Traitor’, was a former Bruddist Clergyman turned Revolutionary responsible for leading The Bee Uprising which overthrew the Bruddist Government on The Isle of Brudda. He positioned himself as emperor of The Isle of Bee following the revolution.

## Early Life

Wataumbu was born into a small clergy family on the Northwestern outskirts The Isle of Brudda. His family while providing pro-Bruddist events such as gatherings and prayer sessions, secretly followed and expressed for Anti-Bruddist ideologies. The Bruddist village community that they had led, were being steered slowly but surely onto the other side of the spectrum. His family accomplished this through the creation of Beeism, which was used as a Strawman to lure many into eventually following a derivative of Bonnism.

## Connections with Beeism

Wataumbu was a leading Figure of Beeism, a strawman ideology derived from Bonnism. Initially seen as a small political group against the No-Bee-Policy instated by the Bruddist Government. At a rapid rate, the group began to grow and became more mainstream; even Bruddist officials and military officers began to attend the events as they too were against the No-Bee-Policy without an idea they were secretly contesting against the Bruddist Government. Wataumbu eventually took over as Head President following the mysterious disappearance of his parents. Many suspect it was an assassination done by the Bruddist Government as an attempt to eradicate Beeism as they gained in numbers. Wataumbu was a master persuader and public speaker, it’s been said he could walk into a room full of people and leave with everyone following him, and he used this skill to his advantage.

## Winning the People

In contrast to his parents’ strategy of slowly steering their followers into Bonnism, Wataumbu decided to integrate the ideologies extremely rapidly into Beeism, practically overnight. Being disguised as new policies, it was a success, and no one seemed to notice. By this point Wataumbu had won over 2/3 of the population of the Isle of Brudda, who openly expressing ideas derived from Bonnism. This wasn’t enough for Wataumbu as not soon after he began making plans for a coup d'état to overthrow the Bruddist Government.

## Leading The Bee Uprising

### Plans for a Coup

Wataumbu utilized his followers that were Bruddist Government Officials to help provide him with the information needed to plan a strategic means of raiding The Bruddist Government Building and forcing himself into power. They also left their jobs and stole weapons from their barracks to provide to Wataumbu’s army, now named The Bee Regime. Once all was ready, Wataumbu waited for the perfect time to strike.

### The Death of General Osas

Eventually, when news broke out of General Osas, who was the main means of defence on the island, was killed in The Battle of Northern Boosh Coast fighting The Northern Colonists, Wataumbu knew it was time to enact his coup. Although Osas’ successor, was to take over, he knew that his inferior tactics were nothing that Wataumbu had planned. Regardless, it would be a surprise attack and wouldn’t leave time for the Bruddist Military to ready themselves.

### The Storming of The Bruddist Government Building

Just days following Osas’ death and the night after his burial, Wataumbu’s army to surround The Bruddist Government Building. Surprisingly, the Bruddist Government already had all their forces positioned in the building, ready to face the Regime. This defensive layout was later confirmed at the final request of General Osas just before his death. Due to Osas being seen attending their events, he may have felt like tensions were rising in the later times he went and had a plan ready to enact if they were too out of control.

Wataumbu persistent on winning, forced the majority of his militia through the front entrance and lead his most trusted men to the rear entrance of the building. His forces seemed to reign superior in comparison to the weakened Bruddist Military, outnumbered and exhausted with their battles against The Northern Colonists. Eventually, the Bruddist Army was reduced to ashes and the new Bruddist general surrendered his position to Wataumbu.

### The Isle of Bee

Following the invasion, Wataumbu established an entirely new government with new anti-Bruddist policies and renamed the Island from The Isle of Brudda to The Isle of Bee. Forcing any Bruddist locals away to a far land or facing death, eradicating Bruddism completely from the Isle.

## Death

Wataumbu reigned for roughly three years after establishing himself as emperor. This was until the volcanic eruption of Mount Madd completely eradicated The Isle of Bee off the map. Many Bruddists suspect this as divine intervention after Bruddism was wiped off the Isle. No one who was on the island at the time survived the eruption, this also including Wataumbu.
