Char Ko was born on May 9th, 2022 and currently lives in Paruzuma, Charkao. He was the Emperor of the CDR from 2056 to 2072 when he resigned due to Yin Bi's reign. He lead the CPR against the CRR during the Charkaonese Civil War and was the first emperor of the Charkaonese Empire. He was considered one of the world's biggest tyrants during his reign during the Charkaonese Empire due to the harsh security and crime punishment he enforced in the nation. He also conquered the Minted Republic and Medici. The juxtaposition of his ruling in the 2050s and the tyranny he committed during the 2080s are often compared in politics. Some say he became delusional once he obtained total power while others say he was simply showing his true colours. He has previously lived in Minatori, Charkao as well. The Ko name has been on the throne more than once with Emon Ko and Kim Ko. Char Ko was the general during World War 3, the Second Cold War and the end of World War 4. Aito Ko gave Char Ko his company "Ko Industries". At a young age, Char Ko was trained in MMA and Boxing and has 18 fights in total. The Emperor may have had a luxurious upbringing but he was not spoiled and had to work for his current status as leader of Charkao. Char was the elder sibling to Zeji Ko, his younger brother. Char Ko and excelled in school. He went to a private school in Charkao that only the wealthiest families could send their child to. In Char Ko's teenage years he dabbled in drugs like LSD and Hallucinogenic mushrooms. Although those drugs are illegal his parents did not intervene as they knew this was a learning process and their son would be responsible with what he consumed. His drug 'abuse' was a large point that was used against him during his election campaign. During Nosh Narkovic's reign over Joshinstreet, Char Ko and Nosh had a rivalry going and Char Ko was pushing the removal of Joshinstreet from the ZU. They eventually became friends shortly before Nosh's retirement. In a study written in 2067, Char Ko was reported to be one of the most loved Zedici leaders with 89 percent of the Charkao public and 74 percent of the Zedician public saying that they agree with Char Ko's position and are happy with the decisions he had made so far. The highest percent of people who did not like him were in Joshinstreet with 55 percent. Char Ko was in a relationship with Yuki Yamazaki from 2048 to 2053. They got married in 2050. After their divorce in 2053, she was assassinated by Agent 47 two weeks later, attempting to make it look like Char Ko ordered the hit. Char Ko was very cautious about getting in another relationship after the incident because he didn't want anyone else hurt. Finally in 2067, Char Ko got in a relationship with CEO of a Charkaonese Dating App company called Aisuru. Her name was Kagomi Takahashi Ko. The two got married within months. She was executed in 2072, during World War 4. In January 2070, Char Ko surrendered 20 percent of his power to the Saigo Lindao, Yin Bi. This has lead Charkao down a more authoritarian path. Relations between Charkao and Zaktopia and Joshinstreet has decreased significantly since Yin Bi's Power Present. In March 2071, Char Ko temporarily resigned as Emperor due to his disagreement with Yin Bi's war of ruling Charkao. He then co founded the Charkaonese Progressivist Party with Karl Penzao Spitzer. His party and Yin Bi's Charkaonese Republican Party became quick enemies. Karl Penzao Spitzer then set up a paramilitary for the Party and due to Char Ko's great influence over Charkao, Yin Bi refrained from outlawing the militia. Ko Industries was shut down after it was targeted by Reformers but the Progressivists eventually beat the Reformatists during the Charkaonese Civil War and Char Ko started an absolute monarchy known as the Charkaonese Empire. He quickly became a tyrant and even ordered the execution of former Minted Republic president Siobhun Leifdotter during the Chark-Minted War. He allegedly enslaved native dabatoids in the Chanurin Rainforest to build his new cities that are called Royal Cities.

## Char Ko's Path to Villainy

*"You either die a hero, or live long enough to see* yourself *become the villain."*

— Harvey Dent, a.k.a. Two-Face, *The Dark Knight*

This quote has never been truer when describing a scenario like Char Ko's. Someone who started off as a rebellious teenager with rich parents that couldn't realise that money doesn't buy happiness. He excelled in school and graduated with a Doctorate in Political Science, Military Science, Law and International Relations. He was the underdog in the Charkaonese Royal Elections due to his past in drugs and his family controversy due to their involvement in World War II. Through speeches and rallies, Char Ko proved that his family's negatives were non-existent in him, but their positives most definitely were as even though Charkao was on the losing side of WW2, they avoided many sanctions due to the Ko family's ability to miraculously win cases without breaking the law. A third World War seemed imminent and Char Ko seemed like the best option. Char Ko inherited the giant corporation Ko Industries and he decreased the crime rate by increasing the justice enforced in the country. The parallels were very apparent between their new Emperor and classic heroes like Superman and Batman. Charkao eventually surrendered to the Axis Powers after the Battle of Mirai led by Minted Island and China. Luckily, very little slander was thrown Char Ko's way due to the Bhaskarian Zaktopia's might along with its allies. The choice of surrendering was also wise as its refusal would have caused many more dead Charkaonese soldiers. Charkao quickly recovered after the war and was funded personally by Ko Industries along with other National businesses. Ko Industries gave the most funding which put another tick on Char Ko's perfection checklist. During the War, Joshinstreet Supreme Leader Nosh Narkovic was saying that Char Ko was a terrible leader due to his past and his family's past, also shaming him for surrendering to the 'Jackzi scum'. Instead of retaliating and targeting Narkovic's personal life, Ko simply praised him and said that he would work on improving his faults. The two leaders eventually even became friends before Nosh's retirement. The media didn't brush this off and Char Ko was praised globally for his political friendliness and way of resolving conflict.

Char Ko was stably respected up until World War 4 was on the horizon. Ko had given Saigo Lingdao Yin Bi equal power as himself, allowing Bi to do much more than he previously could. The Saigo Lingdao was unfortunately plotting this all along and began manipulating parliament by using bribes and this allowed him to pass acts that gave him even more power and reduced Char Ko's power. Yin Bi then restricted the Chanurin Sea and increased the taxes for trade ships passing through which led to the sinking of many Joshinstreet ships. One thing lead to another and next thing you know, World War 4 has begun. Char Ko abandoned his position as Emperor and Yin Bi had absolute power over Charkao. Many saw this as cowardly and Char Ko's reputation began to fall.During the war, Char Ko led a movement for a Charkaonese Progressivist Republic that would defeat Yin Bi from within. Shootings took place in the streets of cities in Charkao but it was not looking good for the CPP. Char Ko's best friend and co-founder of the CPP, Karl Penzao Spitzer, was assassinated which struck sadness into Ko's heart. To make things worse, during a CPP meeting Char Ko's wife, Kagomi, was arrested by the Reformers and executed by Yin Bi's orders. This enraged Char Ko and after many years he waged a Civil War and took back Charkao, defeating Yin Bi. The victory was not satisfactory however as Bi commited suicide, following the Reformation League Suicide Pact. There was no justice instigated, no revenge taken, instead Yin Bi caused the deaths of millions, including his wife and best friend but got no repercussions. Some say this drove Char Ko to madness and when the sanctions were put in place and Char Ko was trusted total power, he snapped, unleashing all his frustration on the people. Even when Char Ko was sentencing people to death for petty crimes, he believed he was doing the right thing to stop Charkao from ever being betrayed from within again. Even when Char Ko was putting up propaganda to manipulate the population, he believed he was doing the right thing to stop rebellions and shootouts to occur in his Empire. Char Ko is now seen as the world's biggest tyrant and a cruel dictator, with his reputation of being a hero in the past, torn to shreds. Char Ko's life was a sad one, but one that will be remembered.
