Vincent Loftenburg was the king of Adrionis and a renowned philanthropist. He was also a former host of Good Morning Subtopia. Some have hailed his deeds towards Adrionis as the best anyone has ever done, and he was also loved for his genuine care for Subtopia, and especially Adrionis. Despite his centrist political values, he supported and upheld ancient Adrionian values, while still creating one of the best economies in the world. Some have even said that he turned Adrionis into a living example of a utopia.

Vincent Loftenburg was under quarantine at an undisclosed location due to COVID-19, before his death on January 5, 2020.

All of Vincent Loftenburg's episodes of Good Morning Subtopia were collected into an anthology titled "Now I Go Home", and released internationally on August 5, 2021. It is available in DVD format or on streaming services like Amazon Prime and Netflix. It was produced by Mario Lanza III.

## King Loftenburg's Reign

After King Geoffrey IV's death, Vincent Loftenburg was traced through distant bloodlines to be the next king of Adrionis. He balanced out government spending, earning Adrionis a powerhouse economy. He promoted peace, primarily through the Subtopian Political Union, albeit starting some wars with other nations. He promoted work and education, and above all, positivity.

In late 2018, he started the Adrionis - Moskochev War. A few days after this war was started, he officially abdicated from the throne, due to upholding Adrionian traditions. Mario Lanza III suceeded him as king until August 27, 2019.

## Post-Alwarda Kingship

On August 27, 2019, at 4:15 A.M, Vincent Loftenburg reclaimed the throne of Adrionis after Mario Lanza III abdicated. This is in response to The Alwarda Massacre, as Mario Lanza III felt Vincent Loftenburg would be a better king during the next stage of war against the United Moskist Federation. King Loftenburg declared a state of emergency for Adrionis at approximately 4:17 A.M.

## Neo-Cisconian Era

On May 7 2020, Vincent Loftenburg tested positive for COVID-19. His consideration for acting King was Mario Lanza III. This decision was overruled by Victor Benz, the Chief Medical Officer of Adrionis. Instead, the new king chosen through blood tracing was Xavier Sovrano Cisco.

On July 23, 2020, Vincent Loftenburg abdicated at an undisclosed location, fully making Xavier Sovrano Cisco king instead of acting king.

## Death

Vincent Loftenburg died on January 5, 2021, in an unknown location in the Holy Kingdom of Adrionis. He reportedly died due to injuries caused by several bouts of COVID-19 throughout 2020. His final days were very private, but the limited press coverage reports visits from the leaders of the Federation of Western Subtopia, as well as King Xavier Sovrano Cisco, Defense Minister Anthony Saggio, Chief Medical Officer Victor Benz, and former King Mario Lanza III, despite the ongoing war between Adrionis and Western Subtopia. Why these visits were permitted, or what was discussed, remains unknown. Loftenburg was also visited by the surviving production staff of Good Morning Subtopia.

It is clear that, due to the special attention that Loftenburg received, his death was known to be impending, despite this knowledge not being disclosed to the public until after his death. His funeral was held at an unknown location, and parts of it were live-streamed or broadcasted over television.

King Xavier Sovrano Cisco said little about Loftenburg's death, and never issued any kind of statement or national address, going against tradition. However, Adrionis still entered a time of mourning, with Adrionian flags flying at half-mast. This same mourning was also practiced in the Federation of Western Subtopia, as well, primarily in Diablo Blanca and Moskochev, where Loftenburg is well respected.

Vincent Loftenburg is survived by his wife, Laura, and his children, Walter and Loretta.
