Inisde Alconbria/"Red" Llovez; Obnoxious yet Powerful

Poised between two brutalist skyscrapers in downtown New Alcacer lies the English Baroque-styled Watson Building. The six-storey structure might seem to be an insignificant historical relic, but it actually houses the office of Rerdi Llovez, Alconbria's culture minister. Typically, the culture ministry is a small cabinet section overseeing a minuscule budget; but that certainly isn't the case in Alconbria. The Alconbrian cultural ministry, ever since it's establishment in 2012 has been waging a cultural war against the Malpuro people.

Llovez isn't that different from your average Alconbrian: a crass, bumbling, uncouth and loud-mouthed pleb. The only difference is just that everything is amplified to the thousands. So how did this average Alconbrian Joe become a cabinet minister? Her CV explains it. Extremely religious, officer in the military, terrorist, committed war crimes, and mind-bogglingly racist. That's pretty much all the requirements you need to have a successful political career in Alconbria, and she checks all with distinction.

Rerdi joined the terrorist organization Organizo Rezizto el Alconbria in 1975, at the age of 16. She worked in the tactical operations department, and her job was to disrupt Altivebrian supply lines through guerrilla warfare, including indiscriminate and targeted bombings. More often than not, attacks orchestrated by her involved civilian causalities. Later on, she began directly causing terrorist attacks on Altivebrian civilians to reduce their morale. Speaking to an Alconbrian news reporter, she said "*I had planned several attacks during the war. The main target was the [Altivebrian] military, but their civilians died too. It was never a problem. In fact, I had deliberately bombed civilian areas to induce terror. I don't see a difference between an enemy soldier and an enemy civilian, they're Altivebrians and they deserved to die.*"

Rerdi left the military in 1992, and served as the acting High Commissioner of Aurestryko and as the Mayor of Gvonn; before returning to military service in 2005. This time as a Brigadier General. She may be an unsophisticated loudmouth, but she was a skilled military commander. This however didn't stop her from being a war criminal, as she gave a free-hand to her soldiers to execute prisoners of war and civlians, and rape women and ignored the mass looting committed by Alconbrian soldiers during the later stages of the war. After independence, she served as an instructor in the army. Obviously trained the soldiers on committing war crimes and maintaining the occupation of the Malpuro lands.

In 2010, she decided to devote her life to religion, became a *vorti* within a year while normal people take at least five to six years to do so. She joined the "Party" the same year, and was appointed as the Culture Minister by Ernesto Titieriez. Well actually, the culture ministry was especially created for her. The Party did not have the support of the religious community earlier, as they avoided politics. Titierez felt that having support of the religious community would be a great benefit, as they could sway millions of religious citizens towards their nasty ideology.
