**Arbus Evin** was a New Jazberki politician from the city of Szendrodvarke. He was a member of the New Jazberk People's Party, and later its leader after the death of Gonvia Vandi. He served as the Prime Minister of New Jazberk from August 1929 to 1937.

## History

### Early Life

Arbus Evin was born on the 3rd of April, 1868 in the Jazberk region of Polmaria. His parents suffered heavy taxation under the reign of Queen Maria, but the Evin family maintained a positive view of the Calano Dynasty due to (at the time) Prince Lucas.

### Education in Jabeyrack

In 1883, Arbus moved to Jabeyrack City due to the lack of good schools in Jazberk. He graduated from his school in 1888, qualified to become a high ranking government official, and was remembered as the highest scoring student of the year.

### Courier as an Officer

Arbus Evin quickly joined the Polmarian army as a Lieutenant. Just two years after joining, he was transfered to the capital city Karfalo to serve as a n aide for the higher ups. He was eventually promoted to the rank of Comm-Leutnan and his troops remained stationed in Karfalo until 1906.

### Arrest by the Triumvirate

In 1906, Arbus Evin was arrested by supporters of Carlov West for siding with King Lucas. He was soon broken out of prison by his Platoon. He and his troops then escaped back to their homeland of Jazberk, where they carried out hit and run attacks against Westist troops.

### The Cataclysm

After the fall of the Polmarian Triumvirate during the Cataclysm, Arbus and his platoon chose to flee to Jabeyrack rather than returning to Camaria due to the chaos that had gripped the capital region. Arbus retired from the military in 1908 and his platoon joined the Jabeyracki Foreign Regiments. Arbus would spend the entire Volaysian Unification War in Jabeyrack, helping garner support for Jazberk but being unable to do much more.

### Return to Szendrodvarke

In 1928, Arbus moved back to his home city of Szendrodvarke. During the 1929 Szendrodvarke Riots, Arbus joined Frevin Banyel and was one of the first members of the New Jazberk Parliament. He, along with Gonvia Vandi and three other MPs formed the New Jazberk People's Party within a few days of New Jazberk's independence.

## Reign as Prime Minister

### Elections

After the assassination of Frevin Banyel by JPP militants, Arbus won the elections and replaced Banyel as Prime Minister. Unfortunately, Officer Cendiv of the J.C.P. arrested him within hours and claimed the title of Lemet for himself. Cendiv was soon forced to flee New Jazberk by JPP militants and Arbus assumed the title of Prime Minister.

### Normal Relations with Volaysia

Ever since the Szendrodvarke riots, New Jazberk-Volaysian relations had remained strained. This changed in Late 1929, when Ambassador Adrian Mihai of Volaysia arrived to Szendrodvarke, and seemed to get along with Prime Minister Arbus very well. This event marked the end of strained relations between the two nations, and was a stride towards more full integration into the Holy Empire of Polmaria.

### Grand Duchy of New Jazberk

> My fellow members of Parliament, on this day, the 17th of Amshtaren, 1929, I put forth before you a proposal. In the wake of Councilman Drenvas of Jabeyrack's excursion to the Accords, it has occured to me and my fellow party folk that New Jazberk needs to be integrated into Polmaria more firmly. The arrival of Ambassador Adrian Mihai has been a step in the right direction, but we need to do more. I propose that New Jazberk appoint a Calano to oversee our Parliament and take control of the country in case the Prime Minister is incapacitated. My candidate for this post is Albert Gerson Calano, a young man and brother of Baroness Zofia Eretrusea Calano of Kurvack and Kurisal. Appointing Albert to the title of "Grand Duke" will not only improve our relations with the rest of Polmaria, it will also give us a firm link to the Barony of Kurvack. Now, since I don't see any objections, I will call for a vote. All in favour?

> Arbus Evin

In 1929, Arbus Evin proposed that a Calano "Grand Duke" be appointed to New Jazberk to strengthen ties with the Barony of Kurvack and the Republic of Kurisal as well as increasing unity with the rest of the Holy Empire of Polmaria. His proposal passed succesfully, and Albert Gerson Calano was appointed Grand Duke of New Jazberk.
