Large and in charge1488

**large\_and\_in\_charge1488** (born September 1st, 1977) is the former Mayor and Prefectural Commissioner of New Rawabi from 2020 to 2021 when he was fired from his position and arrested for corruption, bribery, solicitation of prostitutes, and narcotics usage. He later escaped house arrest and travelled to Tibet with his children. He eventually returned to the Greater Teutonic Realm and was sentenced to at least ten years in prison after a plea bargain was struck in May 2021. He is also wanted in Dexistan and Japan for various crimes following his escape from the GTR.

## Tenure

large\_and\_in\_charge1488 was appointed Mayor of New Rawabi in June 2020 after the destruction caused by the First Great Realm War, the 2020 New Rawabi riots, and the death of the previous Mayor. His main appeals were his pledges to massively invest in infrastructure to rebuild and revitalize New Rawabi after the decimation of the war and more recent riots, to reanimate the thus far sluggish recovery, as well as his tough-on-crime policies including anti-riot and gang measures and ironically anti-drug promises. He was a member of the Law and Justice Party.

He was largely commended both nationally and throughout the Realm for the success of New Rawabi post-war. His administration's ambitious programs and hopeful rhetoric received credit for the economy rebounding and exceeding expectations in its recovery for New Rawabi and by extension, the entire country. With his comfortable Law and Justice majorities in the City Council, he quickly executed many of his promises, most notably reducing the crime rate by 31% in just six months via a plethora of legislation. He was, however, critiqued from both figures to his left and to his right on the crime issue, claiming he was both too harsh and heavy-handed and soft and feeble respectively.

Overall, he was an immensely popular figure with fanatical supporters. Although not particularly charismatic, his able leadership, support from President 77brickman05, and public image brought him up to the most popular figure in Teutonic politics (aside from President Brickman) with an approval rating of 87% in New Rawabi. At the height of his popularity, on September 11th, 2020, he held a massive rally in New Rawabi's Capitol District, announcing his intention to run for the December 2020 general election for Prefectural Commissioner of New Rawabi. He still campaigned from September all the way up to election day, drawing large crowds and energizing turnout.

He won in a landslide against minuscule\_and\_unassertive1290, a Hope and Peace candidate that was fielded after the removal of a much more well liked Prefectural Commissioner several months prior. He was inaugurated on January 6th, 2021 and began his short tenure as PC. He continued the policies of his Mayoral career, committing many resources to the urbanization of rural areas in the hinterlands of New Rawabi and attempting to improve road and rail access for farmers and elderly citizens. In March of 2021, a video was leaked of him smoking crack cocaine with prostitutes in the Royal Crown Hotel on a "business expedition." Although this significantly dampened his popularity, no criminal charges were brought up against him.

In April of 2021 during the catalyst stages of the Teutonic Civil War when riots and violence engulfed the city of New Rawabi, large\_and\_in\_charge1488 ignored several calls from 77brickman05, urging him to deploy the Prefectural Guard to suppress the unrest. Reportedly in those hours, he sat in his office looking out of his window at the burning city of New Rawabi, sipping orange juice and chuckling. It is unknown whether he was under the influence of alcohol or narcotics at the time. It was only until the late evening when he picked up the ninth call from the President and agreed to deploy troops already while a full scale rebellion was underway. This was thought of as a major breach of the chain of command and disobedient action undermining the nation.

## Arrest and Exile

Following the suppression of the uprising, the New Rawabi Times ran a headline article, depicting large\_and\_in\_charge as a corrupt drug addict that imperiled the nation with his negligence regarding the riots and rebellion. That same day, the National Police began an extensive audit of all the activities of him, both of his campaigns, and his Prefectural Office and soon found evidence of criminal wrongdoing. According to their findings, he bribed his secretary with copious amounts of narcotics including crack cocaine as well as a personally paid all-inclusive vacation to New Osaka in exchange for direct access to the City accounts. He extracted tens of thousands of iron certificates over the course of several weeks from the public City account to fund his campaign for Prefectural Commissioner. The National Police swiftly deployed a special forces team to his residence and put him under custody. Within a week, his court date was announced but oddly enough when he personally requested bail from 77brickman05, it was granted on the condition he would be under house arrest with a National Police escort until the trial.

On the eve of his trial, April 21st, he packed luggage full of his most prized possessions, took full custody of his children, (his wife had begun divorce proceedings the month prior due to the prostitution scandal) waited for his personal chamber guard to fall asleep, and took a taxi to the Rawabi-Rhodesian Prefecture line. He then boarded a train to New New Jersey with forged tickets and fake facial hair, illegally scaled the border wall into Bog Harbor, called a childhood friend and organized a rendezvous with a fishing captain at the Bog Harbor port where he and his children stowed away on a three day journey to Tibet. He emerged in Lhasa on the morning of April 25th to much fanfare and convened a meeting with ObamaLand where he secured a luxury apartment in the heart of Lhasa for him and his family.

Three days later, large\_and\_in\_charge was attacked in his new home with an ice pick. The suspect was killed by arriving officers but was suspected to have been a GTR agent. He was hospitalized for eight days before being released in healthy condition (albeit with a large scar on his neck) and giving an interview on Tibetan state television. He stated he was better than ever and was considering returning to the GTR. The next day, he thanked ObamaLand and the Tibetan people for their kindness and charity, leaving his children under the supervision of ObamaLand's servants in his mountain compound. He boarded a passenger liner to San Fierro at noon, arriving at about 3 AM RST. Several plain clothes National Police agents were waiting at the dock and arrested him for a second time without a struggle.

Three days later, on May 10th, the Voice of Dexistan ran a headline article claiming he had escaped his holding cell in San Fierro and was on the run once again, although the GTR denied this, maintaining he was in secure custody. It was initially unknown whether this report was accurate as information in both the GTR and Dexistan is limited, especially regarding legal matters. However, given the lack of reports of large\_and\_in\_charge1488 escaping or being spotted, the claim was called into question almost immediately. Images of him in his holding cell released on May 14th discredited any report made by the Voice of Dexistan.

Large\_and\_in\_charge1488 is also wanted in Dexistan for forgery and identity fraud and in Japan for unauthorized border crossing following his exploits escaping the GTR. His trial began on May 15th and he plead guilty roughly eight minutes into the proceedings. He was sentenced to at least ten years in prison on May 31st but is expected to be released early, due to his "exceptionally good behaviour" in the words of the warden in charge at Washburn-Dorjee Prefectural Correctional Facility.

## Family

His children remained in the custody of ObamaLand with no criminal charges until the destruction and subsequent occupation of Tibet and temporary disappearance of ObamaLand. The partition negotiated in August of 2021 gave the former mountain compound of ObamaLand to Dexistan thereby giving Dexistan custody of his children. They were bestowed Dexistanian citizenship personally by Dex Moonfire on September 13th, 2021 in a ceremony in East Lhasa.

After the announcement of Dexistanian withdrawal from Tibet on January 20th, 2022, the children decided to renounce their Dexistanian citizenship and become Tibetan citizens under the direct supervision of ObamaLand, due to the fond memories they had of the compound they had resided in for several months. They currently reside in Francomuria as fully naturalized Tibetan citizens, living at a beach house in the coastal village of Biarritz. His two sons, Theodore and Tyler, enjoy sailing and surfing while his two daughters, Roxanne and Skeever, are aspiring painters and musicians respectively.
