Pica

Robert Wojdak

**Robert Wojdak** (*1880-1912*), Kaizok Title **Pica**, was an Imperial Islander of Polish descent, and the main antagonist of Mystery of Tyskie Islands. Robert was a vicious dictator and a social Darwinist, who would stop at nothing to achieve his dreams of a perfect, militaristic country.

## History

### Backstory

Robert Wojdak was born in 1880 in Danda, the capital city of the Island Empire as a son of Polish immigrants.

### Rigging the Election

After the Island Empire's latest Kaizok, Ozime II, passed away due to rabies in 1910, Robert Wojdak became the new Kaizok, taking the name Pica; his election was rigged by his friend, Alexander Dell, a powerful psychic. He changed the country's name from Island Empire of Czlopak to Empire-Kingdom of Czlopak Wojdak Islands, to honour himself.

### Reign as a Kaizok

He begun his iron fist rule by closing down majority of food factories, obsessed with stopping the obesity epidemic and turning the Island Empire into a global military power, something that just couldn't be achieved from a logical point of view, because of the country's small size.

Pica took over most factories and larger houses and turned them into army bases, creating new ones in the Dead Marsh area, and creating the CREC-001, a mass extermination plant for the undesirables disguised as a rehabilitation facility. Pica no longer wanted to cure his society - he was driven by his crazy desire for the Island people to become better, cleaner humans.

It was at this point that many people realized that Pica was insane, and desired to revolt. However, it was already too late - his massive eugenics campaign moved forward as he created the Island Empire Revolta,a militia who would kill or imprison anyone who wasn't good enough for their standards, and that no longer included only overweight people, but also the mentally ill, the sick, the disfigured and the crippled, while also telling the "normal" population to report on any of these undesirables, now designated as Huddlers.

This was not enough, as he soon started to get interested in transhumanism, which resulted in the creation of dangerous, transhuman beings known as Exterminators, Leadheads and Juggernauts.

### Mystery Of Tyskie Islands

   On 2nd October 1912, Pica passed away, killed by Frank Masseur in his own office, officially ending his reign of terror. This however was not the end of Frank's mission, as it turned out that Alexander was going to take over, and simply used Masseur to make his plan easier.

## Trivia

* The fact that Pica is portrayed by The Gatekeeper from the board game Nightmare/Atmosfear has it's roots on the original parody wiki that started the Island Empire lore, where his article was illustraded by a picture of The Gatekeeper.
