## History

### Pre-Videos

Manat established The State Republic in hopes of finally conquering the land of Marley due to suppression. After a victorious assault on the capital, Manat secured the nation's prince and took him back to The State Republic to live as one of them.

### Early SMP | Prequel Season 1

In the early events of Season 1, Manat had found a village and decided to establish a State Republic colony which soon would become the main land. After converting several houses into larger mansions, Manat recruited many of the local villagers and wandering adventurers into citizenship of the State Republic. The total population count had rose to over 10 citizens living in the State Republic.

### The Criminal Arc | Prequel Season 1

In the following months of The New State Republic colony being established, walls were constructed to keep the mobs and other dangerous creatures from harming the local villagers living in The State Republic. Dirt paths were paved in the land to direct people to their houses. Most the of the construction done by Council Member Petra and Manat himself. However, one night a horrible event took place. In the morning no villagers awoke. It shocked all the surviving citizens of The State Republic that every single Villager mob had be murdered and brutally slaughtered. The Prime Suspect was Alan Baker. Alan was under suspicion due to the debate Manat and Alan had partook in the previous night, this was about Villager Rights and how they should be treated as humans. Alan was soon locked up in the State Republic Prison. Only to be broken out by DrDark (The Land's God) the next day.

### The Other Nation Arc | Prequel Season 1

After Alan's escape to Marley, Manat was forced to form the new military division known as Locate Force 1. This division as the name implies, was focused solely on locating the whereabouts of Alan Baker as he had moved the nation of Marley to Alatopia. After weeks of non-stop searching by Locate Force 1, Alatopia was located.

### The God's Armory | Prequel Season 1

Shortly after Alatopia was located, Manat got to quickly building an Armory to supply Locate Force 1 and the Garrison Force with armor sets claimed to be "Forged by the Gods". Each armor set was a set of fully enchanted netherite armor and a fully enchanted netherite sword renamed to a different Greek good for each set.

### The Showdown | Prequel Season 1

Taking with him only Petra, Manat launched a covert assault on Alatopia. Their goal was to find Alan and detain or kill him. Alan had anticipated their arrival however. Once the pair had arrived to the castle Alan was living in they were met with three withers ready to be built. Alan was standing, looking them in the eyes holding 9 wither skulls. Behind Alan was TNT, the castle had been packed with explosives ready to be detonated with the pull of a lever. It came down to this moment, as Alan made his speech about Dark manipulating him and pulling all the strings, Manat drew back his bow. As Alan went to place the final skull on each withers Manat made his move. Firing three shots Manat hit the TNT lighting it on fire, hit shot Petra in the crossfire and mortally wounded Alan. Alatopia was destroyed by the Withers that day and Manat and Petra left back for the State Republic.

### The Inner Struggle Arc | Prequel Season 1

Months after the struggle against Alan, Manat and Petra, The State Republic had began to get restless, the military was itching for a battle. So much so they began fighting themselves, Manat grew tired of this. Dr Dark gave Manat a visit, Dark had formed explosives and nuclear bombs out of nothing but dirt, Manat knew wat he had to do. Changing all the beacons to black, Manat faced off against an Alan who had lost all his memories. Manat came clean to Alan about his past and blamed Alan for all the trouble in the nation. After making his speech, Manat executed Alan twice before disbanding the State Republic and running off to live in the Jungle with Petra.

### The State Tryant | Prequel Season 1 End

Following the events of disbanding the State Republic, Manat had found Dr Dark had formed a new nation from the ashes of the old. This was The United Republic Commune. Manat knew what he had to do, he gathered as many explosives as he could find and using help from many of his previous followers planned a rebellion. However, Dr Dark caught onto this plan swiftly and ended the Rebellion by blowing up the land of The United Republic Commune. As the rebellion disbanded the fate of many had been undecided. However Manat lived the rest of his days before Season 2 in the jungle until he was eventually reincarnated into Squares.

### The State Order | Prequel Season 2

During the reign of the State Order, Squares was the main soul inhabiting the body of Manat. Squares, corrupted by the Dark Lord Armor, used Manat to manipulate Petra into trapping herself in the prison. Eventually Squares had to split himself from Manat in order to bargain the Dark Lord Armor back after the latter gave her the armor not knowing what it was. Manat was then trapped in the Totem of Souls until Petra eventually destroyed it, in a fire after the final battle of the swamp, releasing his soul. Without a body his spectral projection took the form of a ghostly figure and thus he was now Ghostnat.

## Personality

Manat is often viewed to have a leader type personality. While often cracking jokes Manat is light hearted and enjoys the company of others around him. However he has a darker side, he is not afraid to swiftly punish and even execute those who threaten the security and safety of The State Republic. During the events of Season 2 however, he has become more timid, afraid of those around him and very apologetic. He is unaware of the majority of the events that took place, only getting small visions from when Squares had taken over.
