Jaquein Marloquou

Jaquein (zja-kein) Pieck Marloquou (Mar-la-kou) was born on M7/D8/321PE of Margretta and Teltondor Marloquou in the small village of Kondect, in the northwestern part of the Banana Empire. During this time King George II had only conquered the northwest territories 4 years prior, delegating them mostly farmland, which the empire already had plenty of. In his youth Jaquein dreamed of one day battling all across the wastelands, leading his armies to victory. Though a troublemaker in school, he finished top of his classes every semester. Once he turned 19, he joined the military in 340PE. After he got through training he applied for a position as a field officer, but the recent war with the Top Hat Clan to the south forced him to get drafted into the Army. When at war with the Top Hat Clan Jaquein was put under the command of General Orm Canto Baltimare of the 35th Banana Infantry Company (BIC). On the Battlefield 3 months into the war General Baltimare was shot and relieved of duty for the following 7 months for recovery. The 35th was put under the command of Commander Raltanio Vi. Vi had little regard for his soldiers, aimlessly sending them into battle, killing 27% of his soldiers in his first 3 weeks as commanding officer. When taking over the Top Hat Clans Maridun settlement, Jaquein and his squad find documents showing evidence of treason from Commander Vi, showing he made deals with the Top Hat Clan to send the 35th into battle with faulty plans to secure his own protection. After confronting the Commander about his treachery he tried to flee, but was cornered and imprisoned by the 35th. He was executed by firing squad that night.

After the end of the war with The Top Hat Clan in M10 340PE Jaquein stayed with the 35th BIC, once again under the control of General Baltimare. From the end of 340PE to mid-342PE the 35th BIC was tasked with taking land from Wastelander tribes surrounding the Banana Kingdom. During this time Jaquein was able to learn much about the Wastelander's culture and battle methods, but lost most of his comrades in the battles to them. Jaquein quickly made his way to captain for his cunning and effective strategies that yielded the best result with the least amount of casualties. On M9/D15/342 Jaquein and the 35th BIC are called to his home village of Kondect in the Northwest of The Banana Empire to defend against the Meldoc Wastelander Tribe, who were trying to gain back their land that was stolen from them. When they arrived the village was burnt to the ground with only bodies remaining. When they the 35th went searching for the Wastelanders, the tribe attacked them from tall grass, killing most of the soldiers but taking Jaquein, General Baltimare, and a few other 35th soldiers hostage. The soldiers were tied up on poles and tortured for 2 months. During this two months they were subjected mental and physical torture, being whipped, waterboarded, having fingers and or toes cut off, and even being forced to eat the eyes of their fellow soldiers. On M11/D27/242 they were found by a Banana scouting regiment and liberated from the tribes camp. After returning home to The Banana Empire Commander Baltimare retired at the old age of 62 and Jaquein, along with the other 2 surviving soldiers were relieved of service. When Shroom War I started in M7/D18/345PE Jaquein was forced to return to frontline service. He was sent to takeover Cortega station as part of the 65th Legion, under the command of General Stanford Peel. With General Peels military genius military mind they were able to easily take control of the Mushroom Base. General Peel mentored Jaquein through the duration of the war, and by the end of it Jaquein was promoted to commander and given control of the 35th BIC.

After the B.A.R.(Banana Army Reformation) Jaquein was able to rise through the ranks even faster. On M2/D5/347PE Jaquein led the 35th BIC against one of the Largest Wastelander tribes in the Wastelands, the Beldom Tribe. Jaquein surrounded the Tribal camp on all sides of land with soldiers, slowly closing in, killing most of the Wastelanders, the rest preferred drowning themselves in the Beldom Bay over being killed or captured by Jaquein. Enjoying the suffering of the Wastelanders for what they did to him, he led a conquest out east, decimating any Wastelander Tribes he could find, going as far out as Dinelia. Jaquein pillaged around 23 tribes in his month long crusade, killing an estimated 900 Wastelanders, gaining him the nickname 'Butcher Of The Wastelands'. After the Wastelander Purge, Jaquein returned home to The Banana Empire a hero and was promoted to general, the youngest general in Banana history at only age 26. His many military successes quickly gained him notice from King George III and heavy notoriety from the citizens of the empire. Seeing opportunity in Jaquein, and wanting to boost his reputation with the public, King George III makes Jaquein his advisory and second in command, as well as General and overseer of the Banana Military. Jaquein promoted strong nationalism for the Empire to the public and pushed the idea of invading the Mushroom Kingdom, believing that the new reformed Banana Army was capable of taking control of all land South of the Retello Hills (Middle of Mushroom Kingdom). After weeks of pressure from the people, King George III allowed Jaquein to do as he pleased.

On M3/D23/347PE Jaquein takes 20,000 Banana soldiers from the 35th, 77th, 14th, and 89th BIC to Aspurglet BSO (Border Safety Outpost) on the southwest of the Mushroom Kingdom. Jaquein demands control of the south of the Kingdom, camping his soldiers outside the facility, giving them 3 days to respond. After Aspurglet fails to meet his demands Jaquein leads an assault on the base, successfully capturing it and starting Shroom War II. Before they can advance further, Jaquein and his troops are stopped by a blockade surrounding the base in a crescent shape that was set up by Mushroom Border Control. After refusing to retreat the Border Control call for the Army and Marines to drive out the Bananas and liberate Aspurglet BSO. Before they can, that night Jaquein sends 200 men to sneak into the Border Control blockade and kill the men in their sleep. They were able to murder 923 men collectively before they were caught in killed. This event became known as 'The Night Of Broken Skulls'. While in disarray, Jaquein launched an attack on the blockade, overwhelming the border control. By the time the Army or Marines had arrived Jaquein and his forces had taken a significant portion of the south. After holding the land for 13 weeks Jaquein returned to the Banana Empire a hero, leaving Field Admiral Peter Giliad in charge. Near the end of the war on M8/D22/347PE decides that it's time for him to take control of the Empire. That night he attempts to assassinate King George III by slitting his throat in his sleep but fails and is caught in the act. Jaquein is imprisoned and prepped for an execution, but the public push for a Vuclandor, the ancient Banana trial by combat used to determine the next leader of the Empire. On M8/D24/347PE Jaquein is thrown into the Royal Banana Coliseum and battles King George III, after he's deshroomized, fighting with nothing but their fists. After a 40 minute fight King George III overpowers Jaquein and smashes his head open on the floor of the Coliseum using a rock he found on the ground. 7 days later on M8/D31/347PE Jaquein's soldiers surrender, ending Shroom War II
