**Ottfried Vasary** (born Old Star 15, 42;2E/May 15, 1110) is a Southambian Stotfordian Vasarite revolutionary who served as the only President of the Autonomy of Stotford during the Social Solidarity regime from 81;2E to 105;2E, which came to power during the first Southambian civil war. He is also the final leader of the Vasarites during it's legal operation. Because of his cooperation in the dismantling of the Vasarite regime, he has only been charged with voter suppression, and conspiracy to commit sedition, and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Vasary was born and raised in the Burg of Stotford. He studied at the University of Stotford before earning his law degree from the University of Tabrad. Vasary first began to participate in Vasarite activities at the age of 28 in 70;2E, later becoming the leader of the Vasarites in 79;2E, when his father retired from his post. Vasary's influence in Stotfordian provincial politics became prevalent a year prior to the first Southambian civil war, when he orchestrated a large grassroots movement around his political organisation, the Social Solidarity Group.

In 81;2E, when the first Southambian civil war kicked off, he sided with the federal government. However, following consistent federal losses to the Conservative Loyalists in Dodrid, Herbury, and Herford, he announced his disdain with the federal government, and proclaimed Stotford's immediate secession from the Union. He organised a revolution against the incumbent Socialist Party government in Stotford, successfully overthrowing the government in 18 days, and instating a Vasarite government.

Immediately following the end of the first Southambian civil war, he drafted and signed a deal with the new National Federalist government backed by Zacharias Richmond to officially establish the Vasarites as the legitimate government of Stotford. In the deal, the Presidency of Stotford was replaced with the Presidency of the Autonomy, a hereditary position, and the newly formed Social Solidarity Ordinance Party became the ruling party of Stotford. Throughout his tenure as President, his government suppressed non-Stotfordian ethnic and racial minorities, conspired to commit sedition against the Populists Party government of Leonard Godsforth, and heavily coerced members of the Autonomous Council to vote in favour of legislation that would benefit the Vasarite government's standing. However, near the end of Leonard Godsforth's tenure as Magistrate of Southambia, Vasary began to pursue the deradicalisation of Stotford by dissolving the Vasarite government, and replacing it with a democratic government. His pursuit of deradicalisation was heavily opposed by the Vasarites, with many attempting to declare the secession of Stotford from the Union. On 25 Old Earth 105;2E, the Stotford Autonomous Region was dissolved, and Vasary's government was ousted from power, with many, including himself, being arrested.

Vasary is generally considered to be more of an impactful figure in Southambian politics than his grandfather, Skolar Vasary, was, with many of his policies affecting other Southambian subjects such as Bolme which pursued many policies considered to be pro-Vasarite. His tenure is also considered to be the most repressive and regressive of any government in Southambia, both provincially and nationally. The beginning of tenure marked the beginning of polarisation in Southambian politics as many Stotfordian nationalist organisations were formed throughout the nation. The end of tenure marked the start of federal crackdown on radicalism and statism, with Hwangbo Song-Gi being a prominent figure in devasarisation throughout Southambia.

## Early Life

Vasary was born in Stotford on Old Star 15, 42;2E, 12 years after his grandfather's death, to Wilfried Vasary and Valeria Vasary. He was the sole child of Wilfried, and became the heir apparent to the House of Vasary upon his birth.

## Political Career

### Vasarites

*Main Article: Vasarites*

Vasary became the leader of the Vasarites in 79;2E after his father, Wilfried Vasary, chose to retire and step down as head of the House of Vasary, and leader of the Vasarites. However, a power struggle which formed from the retirement saw Ottfried become the symbolic leader with next to no official power in the group, and Volkhard Wilfried becoming the de facto leader with full power. However, despite the position as the symbolic leader, Vasary holds influence on the political decisions of the Vasarites.

### Stotford

Vasary became the President of the Autonomy of Stotford in 81;2E following the dissolution of the Stotford Reservation, and the establishment of the Stotford Autonomous Region after a deal was made between the Vasarites and the National Federalist Party, the then-largest party in Southambia. Vasary saw the establishment of the Social Solidarity Ordinance Party, and the Stotford National Guard. both holding immense power within Stotford, effectively turning it into a dystopian state. On Old Earth 25, 105;2E, after months of Vasarism illegalisation, Vasary met with Southambian officials to dissolve and the Vasarite government over Stotford.
