## Biography

### **Early Life**

**(NON-INGAME EVENTS)**

Haruccius Suétone Pas-de-Canaphs came into the world in the year 33 before the Republic, the lone offspring of the enigmatic "Great Bastard of Ohelia" and the courtesan-harlot Blue Lily—a lineage to royalty he deliberately expunged. Orphaned at five, his education fell into the hands of Morossuccius Septicius, an erudite tutor immersed in the Republic's enciclopedism.

Their bond became unbreakable, intertwining in poetic endeavors. Young Pas-de-Canaphs imbibed from Septicius the perils of consolidated power and the art of lyrical composition. Plans for Ayzuria, an unconventional nation in the Ameth region, took root when, at 25, Pas-de-Canaphs aligned with Reslavius, Amour, Nepodominis, and Equellnacart—Ayzuria's pioneering leaders.

Advocating for a Diarchic Republic, he declined a Consul position, embodying his conviction that the pursuit of power was both immoral and against republican ideals. Yet, as Fondaire drew to a close in Year I, he witnessed Reslavius, the sitting consul, obstinately holding onto power against the people's choice, Novas d'Equellnacart. Reflecting on Reslavius' stubbornness, Pas-de-Canaphs remarked, "His attachment to power seemed like a pact with the infernal. The coveted crown he pursues is a haunting echo of darker times."

Following this, he collaborated with Equellnacart and Nepodominis to sever ties with Reslavius and establish themselves on an island north of Ameth, adjacent to the socialist enclave of Isa. In correspondence with Consul d'Amour, he penned his motives:

> - "*The act of parting ways with Reslavius was the just and natural conclusion for the Republic. For Reslavius displayed an attachment to power, a sinful desire to reign sovereign. We never wished to harm him, but the situation reached a point where it became impossible to save both Reslavius and the Republic simultaneously. Faced with this dilemma, we were compelled to choose, forced into making drastic decisions. I am, and have been, unwavering towards oppressors because I am compassionate towards the oppressed. These are my most sincere thoughts, in pursuit of a Perfect and infallible Republic*."

### **Consolidation of the Republic**

**(INGAME EVENTS)**

The foundation of the capital Canaphinsel in the *XXVI Fondaire Year I* (November 26, 2023) marked the "beginning of paving the way for the consolidation of the Republic." When Pas-de-Canaphs and Nepodominis landed on the island, determined to undertake the construction of a republican nation, they immediately began to devastate the vast forests.

The fragility of the newly-founded homeland forced him to seek international supporters, who, much to the reluctance of the radical republican Pas-de-Canaphs, turned out to be monarchies. He befriended Gravitation in Necropolis, who would reign as a monarch until *VIII Trabalhaire Year I* (December 8, 2023), and gradually approached Lukas I Dufort, the emperor of Ohelia, the country of his parents.

Almost solely, Pas-de-Canaphs began to establish the ideology and principles of the Republic of Ayzuria through speeches and debates, engaging in discussions with Consul d'Amour and pointing out "dangerous monarchical behaviors." Later, Amour resigned, and Pas-de-Canaphs was compelled to assume the position of Consul.

## Interest in Historiography

Pas-de-Canaphs consistently expressed profound concern regarding historiography in the world of Keranos. He remarked, - "The formidable monarchies of this worrld, adorned with splendid capitals, seldom trouble themselves to chronicle their exploits in history. Their pride leads them to believe that their moments of glory will endure for eternity," and he then underscored, "Yet, the sham republic in Fungolia and the sultanate in Sharafi appear to be the sole governing bodies whose leaders recognize that the pinnacle of civilizational greatness is crafted through the art of the written word."
