Amaan Ardash was born on M9-08 414 ASB in the city of Sunbell to Claysando Ardash and Jadis Ardash, he was the second of two children. Amaan was educated by tutors hired by his father who was the Prime Minister of the Sandy Clay Commonwealth, he did exceptionally well with his schooling. On M2-07 428 ASB under his own advice Amaan's father had him transferred to officer's school to train as an officer in the Sandy Clay Commonwealth armed forces.

### Military career (428 ASB - 445 ASB)

On M3-07 429 ASB Amaan's father declared himself the King of Clayistan and the Sandy Clay Commonwealth and declared war on Dervot IV. Amaan Ardash graduated officer school on M3-07 432 ASB, was given the rank of captain and sent to the front lines to lead soldiers against Dervot IV's forces. Amaan Ardash led the assault on the last Dervot IV supporter holdout on M1-19 435 ASB, for his actions during the battle Amaan was promoted to the rank of Colonel. Amaan Ardash further fought in the war against the Empire of Shale which officially ended on M2-11 437 ASB with the sighing of a treaty. During the restructuring of the Sandy Clay Commonwealth into Clayistan Amaan Ardash was promoted to the rank of General.

During his time in Clayistan Amaan's popularity skyrocketed being described a war hero, and after he stated that he was "looking for a partner" a charmer.

Following the Shale Invasion Amaan's forces were stationed in Magnare. On M2-22 441 ASB the Empire of Red invaded Clayistan, Amaan Ardash successfully pushed them back until the call of a ceasefire on M7-02 441 ASB which began Amaan Ardash's tenure as the Military Governor of Red Occupation Zone. A treaty officializing the end of the Red-Clay War was signed on M8-19 443 ASB ending Ardash's time as Military Governor.

Claysando II died on M10-08 445 ASB, Amaan Ardash attended his father's funeral which took place on M10-11 445 ASB, that same day Amaan's older brother Yusuf Ardash was crowned King of Clayistan as Manterro II. The day following the crowning of his brother Amaan was declared the chief colonial officer to manage all of Clayistan's holdings on the Precious Metals Continent (PMC) and ordered to travel to the city of Drahokam in Magnare to serve.

### Chief colonial administrator (445 ASB - 448 ASB)

Amaan suspected that his brother considered him to be a threat and that he had been sent to Magnare as a way to peacefully remove him as a threat. Upon arriving in the government building in Drahokam, Magnare on M10-23 445 ASB Amaan was greeted by the Governor of Magnare Christopher Aregona, Ardash did not care much for the governor who he correctly assumed was hiding something he did however enjoy his conversations with the Governor's advisor Felicity Heord, who was one of the children of Dervot IV. Ardash managed to begin a system for recruiting natives into their armed forces on M10-29 445 ASB and due to some excellent legal work the program would be funded by the mainland.

On M4-30 446 ASB Amaan Ardash married a Clay woman named Martha Ole, Amaan allowed the public and his family to get ahold of this information this was done as a sign to show Manterro II that he was settling down and was not a threat to him. Martha took Amaan's last name. On M4-27 447 ASB Ardash's wife gave birth to a Clay daughter named Tasnim Ardash. M6-30 447 ASB Amaan was informed over radio by a member of the Council of Fifteen named Chester Comb was relocating to the city of Drahokam and was asked to ready his office for his arrival which Amaan did. Chester Comb and his staff arrived at Drahokam on M7-12 447 ASB Amaan Ardash and Christopher Aregona were present to greet him, among Comb's staff was Dervot IV's grandson Even Heord.

On M1-10 448 ASB Amaan was contacted by his brother Manterro II for the first time since he had sent him off to Magnare, Amaan was told that what he was going to be told was of the utmost secrecy, Amaan then ordered that no one be allowed into the communications room until he was done in it. Manterro II told Amaan how the Council of Thirteen was responsible for a variety of military failures in Clayistan and how he intended to take back control of Clayistan and fully dissolve the Council of Thirteen which was now the Council of Fifteen and have it's members arrested for treason, as he was describing his plan on how he would accomplish this a large bang was heard and then the radio went silent, it was only a few seconds later that Amaan heard the door to his communications room open, he turned quickly pulled out his revolver pistol and fired at whoever had entered into the room. When Amaan Ardash went to see who he had shot he discovered that it was the Council of Fifteen member Chester Comb who he had fatally shot in the head. Amaan told Comb's staff later that day that Comb had been assassinated and advised the group of them to remain in their quarters until further notice. That night Amaan was informed over radio by Council of Fifteen member Jay Haney that his brother Manterro II had been assassinated. The next day Amaan Ardash had all of the ports in Magnare, Pragornia and the Associated Islands locked down and had all of Comb's staff save for Evan Heord who had disappeared the night prior placed onto warships and had said warships return them to Clayistan whilst laying mines, they then returned via a different longer route.

The Clayistan Naval Body (CNB) launched an attempted invasion of their holdings on the PMC on M4-30 448 ASB in an attempt to reopen the area. They suffered heavy losses at the hands of both Amaan's traps and his own navy which he personally led, four days after the attack Amaan Ardash declared that the areas under his control were now independent from the Kingdom of Clayistan as a new state which he dubbed the Magnare Authority, he declared himself Dictator of Magnare.

### Dictator of Magnare (448 ASB - present)

On M6-05 448 ASB Amaan Ardash had his friend and subordinate Josiah Kyth sent via boat to the Soil Texture Continent to inform Manterro II's friends and allies of the Council of Fifteen's treachery.
