## Biography

### Early Life

Argaan Arstolos was born on the 1st of August 2021 in the town of Vaussuiean, then Snoenstead, and worked as a fisherman alongside his family. He was educated slightly by passing scholars and influential people that passed through the town, paying for their time with his own coins. He witnessed the formation of Avaria in his early years, and gained a nationalistic feeling towards his home.

In his teenage years Argaan would continue to grow his fishing business, making many connections with those in the nation. In his travels however he has ecountered an extremely rough storm, losing all immediate family bar his father and gaining a scar on his face. Because of this he wears a red mask to cover it, and also in remembrance of his fallen family.

### Middle Life

Argaan witnessed the rise of Avaria and through his fishery business was able to see and talk to a few royals, namely those from the Lannien, McSpeigel and especially the Bezchars, who had made a residence in his hometown Vaussuiean. His dedication to education never wavered however, studying abroad with Viodoxian and Avertican nobles on his travels across the southern world.

During this time he had a son, Atrav, in Vaussuiean with a childhood friend who died during childbirth. Argaan made plenty of time for his son, educating him and telling stories of the many adventures he had sailing and fishing. They would often fish together, selling Cod and Salmon at the local market and having dinner at the Ol' Chippy.

During the time of the New Avarian Republic, Argaan was prominent spokesperson for its destruction, citing his faith in the monarchy and the discrimination of the Elven Regonians he had found friends in during his years. Not long after the formation the 2nd Kingdom of Avaria and his 30th birthday he was made the mayor and representative of Vaussuiean for his relentless dedication to the cause.

In the hectic time that would later be called the "Fall of Avaria", Argaan along with his counterpart, Rafal in Tyrodenn, agreed that the Snoenlands would side with the Regonians in their independence war, not wanting to be a nation split in the middle and having closer ties to the Regonian royalty. After their success, Argaan was allowed to keep his place in the new Regonian regime, entering the nobility as an "Arkonvo". During this time, he converted to Soleannenism after his extensive collaboration with the Regonian people.

### Later life

Argaan from here would sit as a wise and knowledgeable figure as Arkonvo, planning and implementing reconstruction plans on the town, expanding the local economy to spices and jams alongside their fisheries. He would work diligently with the people, becoming good acquaintances with higher officials such as the Kaiserin.

His son has gone off to pursue his own fishing business, inheriting his father's boat and equipment, and like his father continuing his education abroad. He too has adopted the Red Mask, as a symbol of the Arstolos family and their values

In recent times he has made his monarchist position known to the syndicalist party of Regonia, speaking out against their actions and harbouring many royals and monarchists as they fled from the revolutions in Vomogal. For these actions he was both attacked by the Avarian Zeminzkarb terrorist group in his home and the syndicalist movement made an attempted coup while at his office. Argaan is currently extremely old, yet is still a beacon of hope for his multicultural home, making public addresses and helping the war effort though financial aid. He has pledged 50% of his worth to the city of Vaussuiean in his will, and currently has his son, Atrav, looking after him and advising his decisions, being by his father's side in his final days.
