Pius Tertius Decimus

Pius Tertius Decimus (Or simply Pius) is a Roman clergyman and theologist who was elected to the Pontificate on the 24th of October and ascended to the Ownership of Fredonia after the resignation of Flavius Constantinius, he reformed the Ownership to conservatism and mandated the Markusian Crown and the renaming of the Ownership to a formal title of ''The Owner of the Throne of Ferdinand'' and mandated the use of formality such as referring to the Owner as ''His Ownership'' or ''His Excellency''. He handed the server to Colton and became Pope of Discord.

## Early life and life in the Clergy

Pius Tertius Decimus was born Lucius Pulverus in Rome, Italy. He was born into nobility with his father being the Assistant of Pope Leo XIII, and his mother the daughter of Pope Leo XIII's brother. He developed an admiration for his uncle Pope Leo XIII and idol him and supported him in many issues involving his papacy, defending him often and was a potential successor of Leo XIII, nevertheless, Leo reformed the church and made only people in the Cardinal Conclave to be elected Pope, thus crushing his dreams to be Pope, he married a woman named Hadria but their relationship fell apart when Leo XIII's successor, Pope Clement VIII became unrecognized, the problem was that divorce was illegal in the Vatican and they we're forced to be together, but their relationship was super fragile and he ended up changing his citizenship to Fredonian to divorce her, he moved back to Rome where he climbed the ranks from Priest to Cardinal in 20 years. He became a vocal supporter for conservatism in the church.

## Papacy

He was elected when Pope Clement VIII finally died on November 30, even though no longer recognized, he still had influence over the church and mandated the use of the Papal Tiara. He was known as a very conservative pope although he also spoke for rights for all kinds of humans.

## Ascension to the Ownership

Although already Pope, he has not yet revoked his Fredonian Citizenship and became a very close friend of Ferdinand Marcus and often visited Fredonia. When Pius heard about the death of Marcus he ordered a Holiday for weep and commemoration for Marcus, this was controversial since this was supporting a dictator who declared martial law not once but twice, nevertheless he did it, this sparked protests against Pius calling him a ''Devil in disguise'', which was largely ignored since the church was super conservative at that time, especially under Pius (which was now under the name Pope Pius XIII). He also supported the ascension of Flavius Constantinius to the Ownership, although being a Liberal, they we're also best friends since Constantinius was the right hand man of Marcus and was the chosen successor, but just 2 days in the Ownership, Constantinius resigned and suddenly chose Pius to be his chosen successor, this came to shock to not only him but to the whole Catholic Church since he was already Supreme Pontiff and now Prime Citizen of Fredonia, a lot was against this but Fredonian customs say to not go against the wishes of a Owner, even a former one or the current one or even the future one. So the protests we're generally suppressed, and he was crowned ''Owner of Fredonia and Prime Citizen of the Republic'' on September 9, 2021. He then continued to reform the Office of the Owner and turned it into a very conservative position although it was mostly ceremonial.

## End of the Fredonian Republic

He oversaw the end of the Fredonian Republic, handing the server to Colton Sykes who turned it into the UCCS. He then went on to become Supreme Pontiff of the Discordian Catholic Church, a discord mock government and catholic community organization that is relevant to this day.
