## History

### Early life

Ambit Skinhub grew up during a turbulent time in Burgamerian history. The walls of Duragrad which he lived in through his childhood were broken and the Yellow Peril, as its referred to by Burgamerians, came to his doorstep. when he was young he was forced to flee his home to escape the devastation. He was forced to travel from place to place to avoid the devastation.

### Recent history

Eventually, he settled just away from the icy grips of the Burgamerian plains with a group of friends he met on his travels. To avoid bandits and the threat of invaders, the town was constructed in an underground complex. This complex was discovered by Point DeGuard, and when he was invited to join the Politburo of the UBSR, he was ecstatic. As he joined, he promised to rebuild the nearby town of Sparwood, which was hindered by a nearby citystate claiming to be independent known as New Panem. After New Panem was dealt with, with the help of the government and Vraelea, Ambit helped direct construction of many new buildings in Sparwood, and the reconstruction of the towns broken buildings.

#### Political life

Ambit was never chosen for the Lieutenant General Secretary by the people, he was assigned by the leader, Lpreston after the former LGS proved to be useless. Ambit was given much of the work that the UBSR required doing, and was arguably psychologically abused by Lpreston, due to the stress he was put under. He spent much of his time holding back Lprestons ambitions for aggressive conquest. When Lprestons crimes were discovered by the politburo, Lpres fled the country, forcing Ambit to take over. This took a toll on his mental health as, for all he had accomplished, he was just an ordinary man who wasn't comfortable in the public light. Ambit called for elections shortly after and his health improved, due to knowing that soon he wouldn't be in the uncomfortable position of leadership. After he left office, he remained active in government. Upon the UBSR joining Viodoxa, Ambit managed several parts of cooperation between the UBSR and Viodoxa, even aiding in military training at one point.

#### Final enounter with Lpreston

The last time Ambit Skinhub met Lpreston, the encounter was fatal. Lpreston and Ambit dueled outside UBSR, in a swamp in Tatonia. Neither informed anyone of the duel to the death as to keep things personal. Here, Lpreston was slain by Ambit Skinhub after a well placed arrow found itself lodged in Lprestons ribs, sending an odd blue liquid flying out of his mouth. Ambit, feeling a tinge of remorse for killing a man who had, for all else, given him such power. He buried his body in the swamp and engraved a headstone to let any passerby know what had occured there.

#### Coalition-Bardonia war

Ambit Skinhub helped organise the Burgamerians into a force to aid the Viodoxans in the Coalition-Bardonia war. He adapted quickly and tried to keep the armies positioning secret. When the battle commenced, he travelled in the rear with the Viodoxans, Burgamerians and Avarians. When the army breached the main plaza, he killed 2 Bardonians in combat. When the army returned home, the soldiers were met with thunderous applause and an electric atmosphere. The Bardonians that had hurt the people of the UBSR for so long finally paid for their crimes, and the world was rid of one of its greatest threats. When he returned home, he found his fiancé ill, and spent time nursing them back to health while the coalition peace treaty was signed.

#### Retirement

Ambit Skinhub decided that the mental stresses of politics was too much for him and decided to retire from any grander political ambitions and focus on his hobbies and interests. He settled down to enjoy a quieter life with his Fiancé, Grog, who he later married, and his adopted daughter Froggy. The development of Syrgorod into a large and beautiful city continued with his aid. He investigated the strange melting of several of the Red Ice Spikes outside Voskovy. After one of the Ice Spikes melted, a girl fell out with dead white eyes. After pulling her out of the ice, Ambit was knocked unconscious by the fall backwards. As he awoke, he saw the girl had taken on the same eyes as he had himself. It was thought she was somewhat part of him, some form of clone.

#### Vosokogrod Siege

During the siege of Vosokogrod, a quick and largely low casualty battle on the part of Frosmyre, The girl he pulled from the Ice Spike who he was now raising and referred to as his daughter, Amber Skinhub, was present. It was known the battle would be quick and not dangerous so he felt justified looking after his daughter during the siege when nobody else could. Ambit was assailed by an angry Kartek citizen who wanted to get revenge for the imminent surrender of his city. He was saved by Amber who conjured red crystals to shred the attacker into a bloody mess before Ambit could be struck. This event has raised several questions and is yet unexplained.

#### Death

Ambit Skinhub was struck down infront of his daughter in his own home by lightly armoured foot soldiers. The purging of anyone associated with the Hands or anyone who collaborated with the Frosterium prevented his daughter, who escaped and killed the attackers, from being able to live in Syrgorod, forcing her to seek refuge in Frosmyre until she could reclaim her home and the town her father created.

#### Accolades

Ambits rule was surprisingly calm, after a coup by a powerful clique of Politburo officials, Ambit effectively quelled the populations fears. He was succesful in all his military actions, being the General Secretary during the fall of LGAE of which he aided and joining to assist Viodoxa against Tortuga along with most of the world. Ambit also met with many soon to be important figures and world leaders on behalf of the UBSR. He was rather placid, but he achieved arguably the most stable time in UBSR history.

After his departure from the General Secretary office he stayed somewhat active politically. As the Magistrate for Shellport he conducted mostly local business but also offered aid to poorer, struggling provinces. His town, Syrgorod, also was in possession of the largest industrial base in the country. Along with this, the regional diplomacy he conducted went well, almost securing an NAP with the Magisterium before the current General Secretary failed to act upon this.

After his return to national politics during the Frosterium, he advocated and achieved for more rights for Burgamerians. Even under mounting pressure from Burgamerian terrorists which soured relations between the Frosterium and Burgamere, Ambit managed to secure vital support for his people.
