On M8-01 425 ASB a local tabloid accused Argus Benat of being unfaithful to his wife, these accusations were common for tabloids but Benat considered it to be a serious personal attack and went about telling various major newspapers in the city that he was not unfaithful to his wife. Because of this various tabloid claimed that he was "Acting defensive", the new scandal quickly spiraled out of control. On M9-13 425 ASB Benat resigned from position as MP and on M9-15 425 ASB Darren Roberson replaced him.

Following his election Darren Roberson developed a close friendship with fellow MP Yusuf Ardash.

On M3-07 429 ASB Prime Minister Claysando Ardash declared himself King of Clayistan and King of the Sandy Clay Commonwealth, declared himself to be Claysando II and launched an invasion of Clayistan beginning the War of Heordian Deposition. He also declared a state of emergency and suspended all elections in the country. Roberson supported Claysando II's claim to the throne and publicly commended the invasion as he believed that winning this war would be nothing but good for the Sandy Clay Commonwealth.

On M2-11 437 ASB the Kingdom of Clayistan, under the control of Claysando II annexed the Sandy Clay Commonwealth. On M2-20 437 ASB Roberson was offered a job as a history teacher at the University of Terracotta whose staff was recently purged. He accepted the offer.

On M2-01 447 ASB Darren Roberson attended a dinner at the Terracotta Palace with his friend Yusuf Ardash who by this point was the King of Clayistan Manterro II. At the dinner Manterro II told Roberson that he was considering restoring the Sandy Clay Autonomous Region (SCAR) and asked Roberson if he would be willing to lead the region. Roberson thought for a few moments before he accepted the offer. On M2-05 447 the SCAR was restored with Darren Roberson as its Governor.

### Governor of the SCAR (447 ASB - TBD)

Manterro II was assassinated on M1-10 448 ASB, the head of the Council of Thirteen Jay Haney informed the Kingdom that the death of the king had been a part of an attempted coup. the next day contact between the Kingdom of Clayistan and their holdings on the Precious Metals Continent was lost, once again Haney said it was a part of the coup and that prince Amaan Ardash was most likely dead.

On M5-06 449 ASB Roberson met with a messenger in his office. The messenger had claimed that he had a message that needed to be delivered to the Governor in private, as the messenger's message bore the seal of the House of Ardash Roberson agreed to the private audience though he wondered why Claysando III would be sending out letters as he was still just a child. When he started to read the letter Roberson became confused as the letter claimed to be from the late Amaan Ardash. As he read the letter revealed the Amaan Ardash was not dead and that Manterro II was not killed in a failed coup but was instead killed by the Council of Thirteen to cover up their own actions. The letter went on to advise Roberson not to trust the Council of Thirteen.
