## Biography

### The Hoivengers

Corn joined the Hoivengers Steam Group sometime in early 2021. He played a notorious Hearts of Iron IV game alongside Mark, Ian, Xi, and Pyro, wherein the infamous '*Xi is French'* stereotype was born. He joined the *'Hoivengers - Discord Sect'* on the 2nd of April, 2021.

### NSFW Controversy

On May the 12th, 2021, Corn was caught posting Not Safe For Work (NSFW) images in the #general Discord channel. According to Piedmont, Corn spammed NSFW images of *countryhumans*. For his actions, Corn was sentenced to the Hoivengers Purgatory and was banned from the main Hoivengers Discord Server until Pyro released him about 27 minutes later. During Corn's time in the Hoivengers Purgatory, Corn displayed no remorse for his actions. Pyro also warned Piedmont to not "egg on" further behavior from Corn.

### The Hoivengers Revolution

On the 4th of August, 2021, Corn alongside Pizza began to organize a resistance group against Piedmont after he began to mandate mass-bans. Corn took the role of head planner and proposed the idea of winning over Pyro and Xi to secure legitimacy and further damage Piedmont's authority. Later, Corn, Pyro, and Pizza agreed to form a pseudo-triumvirate titled the "chair of the three", which acted as the leading body of the HoIv Resistance until Piedmont's power was curtailed.

### Pyro’s Resignation

When Pyro resigned from head of leadership of the Hoivengers, he bestowed responsibility of the Hoivengers unto Corn and directed him to keep the community alive. Shortly after Pyro passed command of the Hoivengers to Corn, the latter formed the 3rd Hoivengers discord server. Corn currently serves as the interim leader of the Hoivengers, preparing for Pyro’s return.

## Rivalry With Xi

### Background

Corn and Xi held cordial relations until shortly after Piedmont's removal from power. On the 18th of August, 2021, Corn and Xi played a multiplayer Hearts of Iron IV country roulette game that produced many irregularities. Several new phrases Corn used to torment Xi were established, such as *'Liberia, Land of Liberty'*, *'Idel Ural #1'*, and *'DUG YUL'*. Since, tensions between the two members has caused Xi and Corn to squabble over previous games, especially the Hoi4 *Nations Released Game #2*.

### Serf Roleplay

On the the 27th of December, 2021, Corn notoriously forced Xi to roleplay as a serf and later a slave. By doing so, Corn quickly deteriorated any correspondence between himself and Xi. Approximately thirty minutes after they had begun chatting, Pizza proposed that Xi temporarily leave the Hoivengers and return after his mental health improved. Xi accepted, and left the Hoivengers for the second time.

### Current Relations

Upon returning to the Hoivengers Discord on the 28th of December, 2021, Xi returned to a lackadaisical Corn. Relations are still tense between the two members.

## Communism

Corn has repeatedly displayed support for communism in the Hoivengers Discord. This behavior has led him to squabble with other members of the group such as War Crimes, Pizza, and Mr. House.

During the time of the Hoivengers Steam Group, he was reluctantly granted his own channel due to his Communist proselytizing. However, Corn's channel would be deleted shortly after Pyro granted it to him.

Despite his love for communism, Corn has criticized his brother for being a "CCP tankie", indicating that he does not approve of the CCP.
