Tommy Rinse (half-brother)

**Kallum Rinse** is the third prince of Rinse Kingdom. He is the maternal grandson of Duke Liss Kowan. He is the self-proclaimed king of South Rinse Kingdom.

## Personality

Rather than the kingdom or the citizens, he cares about himself the most. He is the most cunning among the three princes. He is like a snake or a hidden dagger which can suddenly attack anyone.

However, his one shortcoming is his fickle mind. During the past, there were incidents where he cancelled the work he approved in the morning around lunchtime because of a reason that his mood wasn’t good, and there were incidents where he exiled the chief commander of the guards because it felt like he ignored him. Of course, his mood became better after a day had passed and he did reinstated the chief commander again.

## History

### Previous Timeline

Kallum Rinse became king despite his eldest brother, Simon Rinse, being much more likely to inherit the throne. This was due to various reasons:

1. After becoming king of Pershion Kingdom, Reitas Pershion supported Prince Kallum Rinse and the two jointly attacked Byron Kingdom in a pincer attack. Byron Kingdom faced successive defeats and eventually lost over a hundred forts and a lot of land. Due to putting Byron Kingdom in a miserable position, Kallum Rinse earned the goodwill of Duke Francis Wilson whose father died in war against Byron. Due to the originally neutral Duke Francis Wilson supporting Kallum Rinse, the power balance shifted towards him.
2. Clyde Company's Head, Clyde, bet on Kallum Rinse becoming king and wholeheartedly supported him to the point of emptying his own coffers.
3. Elva Dionell assassinated the other members of Hatchling on Kallum Rinse's orders.

After he became king, Simon Rinse lost his mind. Due to his nature of believing a person's abilities to be the most significant factor in their success, or lack thereof, he simply could not accept his less capable brother becoming the king. He came to known as the "**Mad Monarch**" and wrecked havoc in the western parts of the Rinse Kingdom starting from the Grain Mountain Range until he was put down by Pierce, his brother-in-law.

In the past, Pierce and Ian Philips, who were the two axles of the Rinse Kingdom, had juggled and coaxed Kallum and had led the kingdom’s administration well.

### Current Timeline

After Simon Rinse was assigned to the Tale region during the Poskein Exodus, Kallum Rinse ordered Count Jonathan Chase, who was secretly his subordinate but was pretending to be Tommy Rinse's, to convince Tommy Rinse to send Baron Mito Posis and Baron Luke Aip as spies to infiltrate Simon Rinse's camp. In addition, he sent Baron Elton Coat and Baron Renard as his own spies into Simon's camp. He then had Elton Coat instigate Simon Rinse into believing that Mito Posis and Luke Aip were Tommy Rinse's spies so that he would bullishly rush towards them and end up getting killed.

When the news of Elton Coat giving his territory to Byron Kingdom in exchange for their protection spread throughout the capital, Kallum Rinse rushed to be the one to put him down so as to bury his sin of attempting to have Simon Rinse killed. However, King Deni Von Rinse, once again, turned it into a competition amongst the three princes. However, this time the three princes were to send a proxy in their stead. Kallum Rinse chose Chester Kowan, the second son of Duke Liss Kowan. However, neither Chester Kowan nor Mills Voisa, eldest son of Duke Edwin Voisa, were able to beat Roan in suppressing the rebel Elton Coat. In the process, Roan even obtained the letters exchanged between Kallum Rinse and Elton Coat. In addition, Simon Rinse, once more, widened the distance in the race for the throne.

Later, when the news of Manus Pershion, single-handedly, defeating the Byron and Istel Kingdom's allied army finally reached the royal capital, Simon Rinse revealed that he had already sent Roan as a diplomat to improve trade relations between Pershion Kingdom and Rinse Kingdom. Anxious about allowing Simon Rinse to, once again, score a merit, Kallum Rinse quickly wrote a letter to his old friend Reitas Pershion to covertly kill Roan. However, even that ended in failure with Reitas Pershion being exiled for attempting to kill Manus Pershion. And, once again, Roan obtained the letters exchanged between Kallum Rinse and Reitas Pershion. When he returned to the royal capital, he blackmailed Kallum Rinse into granting his one wish within one year if he didn't wish for the contents of the letters to be made public. Begrudgingly, Kallum Rinse agreed. Roan used this wish to force Kallum Rinse to vote in approval of the transference to Lancephil County from Io Lancephil to Roan.

During the succession war, he displayed himself to be the best commander amongst his siblings, however, due to the bar being so low, it could not really be considered an achievement. He had tried to obtain the support of Aimas Union through his grandfather who has good relations with the kingdom, however, they were unable to send any support as the two kingdoms were divided with Poskein Lake in the middle. Left without a choice, he allied with Lukan Diez, the crown prince of Diez Kingdom. As a show of good faith, he granted the southern Potter Viscounty to Lukan Diez and later even granted them a castle which Lukan Diez made his base. Kallum Rinse even overlooked the inhumane rape, arson, murder and pillaging done by the Diez Kingdom's soldiers. With the Diez Kingdom's support, he created the South Rinse Kingdom and named himself king.
