**Ekrim Mustafa Tekin,** clone name **B-16 37 TKN** (born 2237), is a genetically-altered clone of former leader of Neo-Europe, Supreme Marshal Ekrim Tekin and houses a duplicate of his consciousness. He presented himself as a continuation of Tekin, and used this to eventually retake control of Neo-Europe in 2274 before establishing the Human Commonwealth in 2278, which he governed as **Protector** until his kidnapping by the Domolaki in 2286; shortly before, his mind was transferred into a younger, female body.

## Early Life

*B-16 37 TKN* was born from an artificial womb in a cloning facility in Trans-Poland as one of the last batches of clones produced before being sent to the clone-purposed city of Tekingrad, in Turkestan.

Just prior to Tekin's death, his consciousness managed to have been duplicated by a team of scientists as an organic device that would be placed in the brain and slowly replace the original. Following the leader's death in 2237, a group pre-arranged group of scientists took the copy of his mind, as agreed by Tekin, to Tekingrad, Turkestan, where it was placed in a late-batch clone at random. Over several months, the new mind and the clone bonded into one, becoming close to a continuation of Tekin. It likely worked as the implant was already accustomed to the brain, which was identical to the original's, being a clone. Before long, *B-16 37 TKN* began to see himself as the real Tekin, as was intended.

Being the final variation of clone, he has several advanced abilities not present in humans. For one, he had little of a childhood, growing up very quickly. Unlike many of his brother clones, the rapid physical and mental growth did not affect him due to his mind already being that of an adult - Tekin's.

## Escape to Arabia

He was smuggled out of Arabia in early 2239, during the chaos of Franz's rule. There, he hid in secret for several years, but by the mid-2240s, word went out of a supposed 'reincarnation of Tekin' inhabiting the nation. Around him, a cult started to develop, promoted by his own family. In this time, the orignal's consciousness and body further adapted to each other, with a 'full and secure link' being established by 2247.

## Resettlement on the Franco-Arab Moon Base

### Further Experimentation

While on the Moon Base, a high-tech laboratory was established, equipped with various pieces of technology was well as several scientists. Several were those who worked with Tekin before, going out of hiding, or even those pardoned by the Neo-European government (so they could work on its own biological developments) who defected back to working under Tekin. Their work primarily entails extending the life of the former Supreme Marshal under any circumstances necessary. They have been granted permission by the Guyanese and Arab governments to have pretty much free reign regarding experimentation; for many crimes in the two nations, criminals are often sent to the base to be experimented on. As of 2262, thousands have already been killed. A major scientist is **Doctor Mekkervich,** a self-proclaimed sadist and psychopath who has offered his full devotion to Tekin's cause.

Tekin has stated he wants full immortality, and has offered himself as a test subject (though in most cases, clones are used first). So far, he has been given experimental regenerative abilities through gene splicing, and it is believed he would age slower due to his nature as a clone. Through unknown means, he has been manipulated to make him harder to kill; it is believed things have been done to the heart and nervous system. Finally, he is known to not feel pain as much.

### 'Rogue' Neo-European Attack on the Base

An attack by a supposedly rogue Neo-European commanding officer on the Franco-Arab Moonbase destroyed much of Tekin's work over the past few decades. Furthermore, due to the attack, he sustained grave injuries that would have killed a normal man. Obviously, Tekin was far more than a normal man; his genetic enhancements spared him of the fate of death.

## Return to Earth

### Retaking Over Neo-Europe

With more Tekinite attacks continuing, including ones in Neo-Europe's capitol, London, Premier Milosovic agreed to negotiate with Tekin. He soon arrived, in a grotesque, corpselike state as a result of his injuries sustained in the Moonbase attack. While most people were repulsed by the appearance, Milosovic still insisted on negotiating. They went into a room, and spent many hours there, before announcing an agreement had been made the following morning. Milsovic asked the other Premiers if they consented to transfer their powers to him; they agreed (these Premiers being Tekinite Agents planted there over the past decade). With the powers of all Premiers as well as the Empress, Milosovic then produced a writ. He gave the writ to Tekin, proclaimed joy at the future of Neo-Europe, then slit his own throat. Tekin walked towards the puddle of blood and read the writ, announcing Milosovic agreed to hand over the nation to Tekin due to the 'exceptional circumstances.' Soldiers fired at Tekin, but owing to his genetic modifications, he remained standing. Then, he made a triumphant speech celebrating his return and made several clarifications: the Brotherhood of Tekin was simply a front for the Fellowship of the Radiants, Milosovic was a Fellowship creation (as was, Tekin would clarify, the Scavravirus pandemic), and that Tekin later infiltrated and hijacked the organisation to use it for his own gains. Legally in power once again, Neo-Europe endured drastic change that reversed the progres of the past thirty-five years over a single day.

### Declaration of the Human Commonwealth

On 14 July 2278, Tekin announced that Neo-Europe had been abolished, and replaced with the Human Commonwealth, in a grand speech. He did this as, he claimed, the idea of Europe no longer existed. He emphasised the new nation as part of a new chapter of history, free of racial and ethnic prejudice - everyone was simply 'human.'

With that announcement, a nation that had persisted for almost two hundred and fifty years, in one form or another, was gone at the behest of a single deranged clone. Centuries of culture, history and experience were wiped out in the onslaught of Tekin's new ideology of pan-humanism. But, it was true. At the end, the nation no longer resembled the state created by the British-German imperialist known as Wolfgang Von Stuttgart. For Ekrim Tekin had dissolved Neo-Europe. It was, first figuratively and now literally, a whole new country.

### Domolaki Invasion

#### Kidnapping

When the Human Commonwealth's capitol, Constantinople, was under attack from the Domolaki, Tekin feared for his life and quickly orchestrated a plan, which saw his consciousness be yet again duplicated and placed into another body, this time a female quasi-clone, and his mind wiped from this body (performed through a mixture of surgery and an induced stroke). The Domolaki found this body and took it to the Mothership, were he continues to be studied and paraded by the Domolaki.

## Personal Life

### Children

Much like his predecessor, this incarnation of Tekin had various children, most of them with the various clones of Semola Kemal. Those of note include **Julius** (2258-2286), **Titus** (2271-2286) and **Tiberius** (22780-2286), who all perished during the Battle of Constantinople. These three were born following the reconstruction of his genitalia due to Neo-Europe's attack on his Moon Base,

### Marriages

The original Tekin's first wife, Semola Kemal, was successfully cloned on the moon base. As her memories were not recovered, she was carefully educated and conditioned to resemble the original Kemal.

### Other Relationships

Clones of Semola Kemal are always at disposal for Tekin; he uses these frequently. Many are discarded after use, as he 'see[s] no further purpose for them.'

### Beliefs

In opposition to the original Tekin, his clone copy is much more spiritual. While still privately agnostic, he exploited certain groups within Islam and presented himself as, at various times, as a new Messiah or the human incarnation of Allah. Relating to this, he believes he was somehow greater than the typical human, and affirms he is part of a 'larger plan' within the universe.

## Existential Crisis

Throughout his life, Tekin has debated his place. Being a copy of his mind, he firmly believes himself to be a continuation of the original, but being born around the original's death, he finds it hard to comprehend over a century of events that happened before this body was born. It feels bizarre to him - he feels that he was there at events like the Battle of London, or killing Bauer, but also knows it is not totally true. Some individuals refuse to link the two, calling the new one a poor imitation of Tekin, while others see him as a direct continuation. This confuses the clone further, but for the time being affirm he is Tekin, with some differences.

## Comparison to the Original Tekin

As it is a copy of Tekin's consciousness, as well as the fact not everything had been transferred over, there are some psychological differences between him and the original. For one, he seems slightly less sporadic, already having a plan in motion for over two decades - while the original Tekin would have likely tried something years ago. However, he shares the original's ruthlessness and sex drive, 'requiring' many women to please him, with many being mute clones of his first wife. Physically, he is pretty much the same, with some minor changes in hair and muscle mass.

### Gene Therapy

He has continiously undergone a lot of gene therapy, specifically things to make him more receptive to pain, as well as heal more quickly from wounds, and naturally heal from wounds once deemed deadly.
