Inverken Quartern

**Inverken Quartern** (January 12, 1905 - August 19, 1975), also known as the "National Chieftain" by his followers, was a prominent Fanahrian Ultranationalist writer, novelist, poet, and political activist who is still revered by far-right and ultranationalist figures today. Inverken Quartern self-identified as a racist, ethnic nationalist, and xenophobe. Later, he became critical of religion, calling it "foreign culture which would dictate to Fanahrians how they should live their lives." He wrote over 40 books, his most famous was called the 'Madness of the Dolphin," which describes his discontentment with Henken Leclerc's one party state. He accused Leclerc of being an invisible communist and called him a 'weak' nationalist. He was accused of being a Nazi sympathiser and plotting to overthrow the Fanahrian government during World War Two, and was arrested alongside many members of the National Socialist Party of Fanahria.

### Personal Life

Inverken Quartern was born in Trirannal. His father was a navy officer while his mother was the daughter of his father's superior. He was married to two women, though at different points in his life. His first wife gave birth to his two elder sons, Serratken Quartern and Garmer Quartern, while his second wife whom he married in 1938, gave birth to his daughter, Harhan Quartern. Quartern had a young brother, Gastken Quartern, who served in the foreign SS legions during World War Two and lost his life in the battle of Kursk.

### Education and Professional Life

Inverken first joined the military academies led by Henken Leclerc in order to form a rebellion against the British Empire, but he was expelled from the military academy in 1922 after he refused to salute a Durangian officer. He was also banned from ever joining the military in the future due to his extreme nationalist views, which even the nationalist Henken Leclerc found to be extreme. He graudated in the University of Yanhay in History in 1930. During his time at univeristy, he would consistently clash with the Socialist students and was almost expelled after his antisemitic comments. He became an assistant to a professor in the Ayken Lovewater Trirannal University but was kicked out in 1932 after he was caught teaching his history students 'exaggerated and psuedohistorical' events to glorify Fanahrian history.

In 1939, he was arrested, alongside many prominent far-right and National Socialist Party members, by the Fanahrian government for being NAZI sympathisers. Inverken Quartern denied being a National Socialist, but did claim he had "admiration" for Adolf Hitler's leadership. Inverken however was charged guilty for attempting to overthrow the government, but the judge was a known supporter of Inverken's work, and thus his sentence was only 3 months. Inverken's sentencing only made him more popular, causing him to persue a career in writing.

### Politics

Inverken Quartern took up poltiical activism following World War II. He was rejected entry into the far right Social Conservative Party in 1946 for being 'too extreme.' So, Inverken did not join any political party. Inverken Quartern was a vocal critic of Henken Leclerc's leadership and his supporters ridiculed Leclerc's 'treasonous' nationalism.

Inverken Quartern was a vocal and strong opponent to Communism. HIs supporters would be among the most violent of all far-right. His supporters attacked Communists, Durangians, and immigrants. Inverken Quartern told the FBC, "racism and xenophobia are the most important qualities of being a Fanahrian Nationalist. You cannot call yourself a Nationalist if you are not a racist, and you are not a xenophobe." Quartern wrote in one of his books, "there is nothing called human. There are superior human beings, there are human beings, and then there are subhuman beings. For this reason, we classify these into allies, slaves, and enemies. You befriend our allies, you enslave and torment our slaves, and you wipe out our enemies." He stated that "ailens are not Fanahrian just because they called themselves Fanahrian or could speak Fanahrian." He later confirmed that he also meant Durangians in his comments, and characterised them as the 'enemy.' He also said in one of his public speeches that 'all Durangians should leave Fanahria or simply be dropped into the sea.'

In 1934, he openly stated that Jews were the 'eternal enemy' of the Fanahrian race, but later praised Zionism as a successful Nationalistic ideology in 1948.

He believed that Fanahrians should not intermarry with non-Fanahrians. He had no out spoken opposition to homosexuality.
