## Biography

### Early Life (152 BSB - 98 BSB)

Fritz Sonne was born in the town of Pain Hill within the Kingdom of Clayistria. Therein he developed a skill of writing incredibly quickly under the Order of the Papyrus. He rose through the Order's ranks, and on M4-04 98 BSB became an Elder Scribe of the Order.

### Elder Scribe (98 BSB - 12 BSB)

As an Elder Scribe, Sonne was brought to Braccio for to transcribe the proceedings of the Royal Clayistrian Court. Sonne would later compile these transcripts into his *Histories of the First Clayistria*. Seeing what went on in these proceedings made Sonne less trusting of the Clayistrian Government. When the Empire of Shale came to occupy and restructure the Kingdom of Clayistria into the Kingdom of Clay, Sonne came to resent the Shalite Government more than the Clayistrian Government, and on M4-13 11 BSB, escaped from Braccio to join the Northern Rebellion.

### Involvement in the Northern Rebellion (11 BSB - 3 BSB)

Using the wisdom he had gained from his experiences in Braccio, Sonne helped the guerilla fighters in their uses of tactics to target many Shalite buildings under cover of dark. According to Sonne's *Histories of Clayistan*, Sonne's contributions were crucial to the Northern Rebellion's success.

### Secretary of Iron Lake (3 BSB - 24 ASB)

On M10-14 3 BSB, Ebony Basil recognised Sonne's efforts in the Northern Rebellion, and appointed him to the position of Secretary of Iron Lake to record the proceedings of Jarnvattan.

On M1-01 1 ASB, the Kingdom of Clayistria was restored, and through a strange turn of events found himself simultaneously the Secretary of Iron Lake and the Official Transcriber of the Proceedings of the Royal Clayistrian Court. Thus, for the next 12 years, he manipulated the schedules in Jarnvattan and Braccio to ensure he could always be present at both meetings.

When the First Clayistria-Clayistan War came about, Sonne resigned from transcribing the proceedings of the Royal Clayistrian Court, and sided with the Duchy of Iron Lake, providing Ebony Basil with tactical aid. According to Sonne's *Histories of Clayistan*, Sonne's contributions were crucial to the Independent Duchies' success. When the Independent Duchies united to form the Kingdom of Clayistan, Sonne remained the Secretary of Iron Lake, much to his dismay.

### Historian of the Kingdom of Clayistan (24 ASB - 238 ASB)

Sonne was promoted by King Victory I on M6-25 24 ASB to become the official historian of the Kingdom of Clayistan. Throughout his employment by the Kingdom of Clayistan, Sonne compiled his records into his *Histories of Clayistan*.

On M11-29 238 ASB, King Claysando I, following the advice of his spouse Christine Sandoval who believed Sonne was a security risk for the Kingdom, fired Sonne.

### Life in the Silt Fleet (238 ASB - Present)

Finding a lack of work in Clayistan, Sonne travelled south to join the Silt Fleet as a bookkeeper.
