Justus Obadiah

**Justus Gabriel Obadiah** (May 15 1968 - July 27, 2022) is a Bovido Hassian military leader who is currently serving as the first Supreme Leader of Obadiah Has, from 2020, as well as having been the Major General of the Holy Angels of the Lord's Grand Army. Born in 1968 into an influential family in Makassar, Justus Obadiah grew up indoctrinated into the Clergy beliefs and entered the Clergy in 1982 and graduated as a Lieutenant of the Lord's Grand Army in 1990. Rising through the ranks of the LGA under Marshal Omar Jude, Obadiah became a prominent military leader by 2011 and began a friendly relationship with the Emirate of Belitung, Hazael Buller, who was a rising political star of the Christian regime. Out of theis relationship, Obadiah became the Lieutenant General of the Makassar Defence Force and became further intertwined with the fates of the Clergy. With the assent of Buller to Archbishop and Emperor in 2018, Obadiah became a member of the Emperor's most trusted advisers (allongside the likes of Syli Dean and Damal Clod), personally leading the LGA for the two years of Buller's rule. With the death of his friend on March 29 2020, Obadiah seized the opportunity and established his own splinter fraction from Bovido Has, using the LGA as both its army and government. Taking power in several of the Pacific islands, the Empire of the Lord's Has (later Obadiah Has) grew into a formidable force and managed to cripple the Clod-Dean regime in Bovido Has. Changing its name to Obadiah Has in honour of its founder and self-proclaimed Supreme Leader, the nation quickly began seizing land along the Libirachi boarder, and began invasions of Burma Has, Viet Has and Central Has. Having secured a reasonable amount of land, Obadiah set to work establishing a political system whilst Bovido Has and the Libirachi Empire fought in the Pacific. While war was raging in Makassar, a Hǔnluàn envoy spearheaded by Persian Prime Minister Karen Sanders arrived in Templar (Bangkok) to coax Justus Obadiah and his new nation to join their unity of nations. While negotiations initially went smoothly, a disagreement over power sharing lead to a hostile takeover and Obadiah and his grand counsil were detained in house arrest. Held at gunpoint by his "security guards" (who in reality were agents of the Hǔnluàn), Obadiah made frequent appearances in public to avoid raising suspicions and eventually pledged Obadiah Has to terrorist leader Ashton Morre, although not before an Obadiah Has air base was used to conduct an assault on the Libirachi Empire. Escaping from Hǔnluàn rule in early 2021, Obadiah continued to strengthen his nation before a joint Libirachi and British Invasion of Obadiah Has in September 2021 halted his plans. Approaching the city of Templar from the sea, the Libirachi and British forces began bombing raids, decimating parts of the city whilst Supreme Leader Justus Obadiah fled his capital to the second city, leaving the provisional government in the city abandoned, allowing the Libirachi ground forces to quickly seize control of the former prize jewel of Obadiah Has, in some circumstances even receiving aid from a largely sympathetic population. As the joint British and Libirachi forces quickly reclaimed much of the nation from the hands of the Supreme Leader, who kept eluding arrest by fleeing to a new city each time the coalition forces destroyed his capital, until eventually most of the nation came under Libirachi or British administration, leading the Obadiah forces stranded in a small part of the nation. Secretly coming to an agreement with Almac Docu of the Confederacy of Independent Nations, the CIN entered the war in early 2022, just shortly after the death of Empress Laura Fox, managing to repel Libirachi forces from much of the north of the nation by mid June 2022 thanks to forces from the 2nd Confederate Army, under the command of Ashton Morre. As the political spectrum became more fraught, the CIN was forced to retreat (having never officially been part of the war in the first place), allowing the Libirachi forces to reclaim the lost territory and finally subjugate the nation, capturing Justus Obadiah and executing him on July 27, 2022.
