## Biography

### Early Life (387 ASB - 403 ASB)

Christopher Aregona was born M1-06 387 ASB in the city of Canneberges in the Empire of Red. When he was five years old his father Rickshaw Aregona was hired to cater for Emperor Cervena III, he lived with his father in Aubboria until he was M1-10 403 ASB when he was hired as one of the palace's servants.

### Palace Servant (403 ASB - 416 ASB)

Emperor Cervena III was assassinated on M6-23 407 ASB with Philip Redding becoming acting regent. Christopher Aregona was promoted by Philip Redding a day after the assassination to one of personal servants of the 'Emperor' due to his distrust of Cervena III's personal servants, Aregona retained his position after the ascension of Emperor Rancho II a month later.

On M5-24 416 ASB Duke Joshua Miel and several other noblemen who had territory in the land ceded to the Kingdom of Clayistan the previous year attended a meeting at the royal palace in Aubboria to negotiate compensation. Rancho II decided on compensation that was far less than what was demanded by the noblemen, as Rancho II gestured for the noblemen to see themselves out Joshua Miel took a hidden pistol out from his robe and fired it at Rancho II and his party, striking both Rancho II and his designated regent John Phergone, Christopher Aregona at this time had managed to flip a table and was cowering behind it. Joshua Miel ordered the majority of the other noblemen out of the meeting hall to secure the rest of the building leaving only two in the room with him, Miel walked over to the two men who he had shot, he discovered that John Phergone was dead, having been shot in the head. However, Rancho II was still alive, having been only shot in the shoulder. Miel raised his pistol to execute Rancho II but was stopped when Christopher Aregona darted out from behind his table and tackled Joshua Miel to the ground, the wounded Rancho II grabbed Miel's pistol and shot him in the head, the two noblemen fled out of the room after witnessing their leader's death. The remaining noblemen fled after they learned of Duke Joshua Miel's death. Christopher Aregona was declared the designated regent of the Empire of Red for his actions two days later.

### Designated Regent (416 ASB - 420 ASB)

Christopher Aregona spent the remainder of 416 ASB and all of 417 ASB traveling around the Empire of Red being advertised as a national hero and the savoir of the empire.

On M9-22 420 ASB Thomas Seplache, a member of the West Reddish Separatist Movement met with Rancho II to negotiate an end to the current conflict in the region, part way through the negotiation Rancho II stood up from his chair to make a point, Seplache too stood up in what appeared at the time to be a counter to the Emperor's action, without warning Seplache charged himself at the Emperor and threw them both out of the window. Christopher Aregona ordered men down to emperor and his would be assassin, the men sent down discovered that both men had been killed in the fall, Aregona was now the acting regent of the Empire of Red.

### Acting Regent (420 ASB - 424 ASB)

The day after the Death of Rancho II the West Reddish Separatist Movement seized control of local government facilities and declared independence as the Transitional State of Oarecum, Christopher Aregona immediately sent the army to take back the now occupied land, after the order was given various groups of armed individuals seized control of multiple government offices on the border of the South Fleet occupied Redpublic and declared independence as the Free Redpublic. Two days after the initial declarations of independence a sixth of the Empire of Red's army led by General Jacob Miel broke off and occupied the remainder of the western coast with Jacob Miel declaring himself the Emperor of Red thus beginning the Red Civil War. On M9-28 420 ASB Clayistan begins sending the Empire of Red aid on the request of Christopher Aregona.

Six days after the arrival of Clayistan forces Christopher Aregona appealed to the Conclave of Chapelure to extend his regency until the current conflict is resolved, two weeks later the Conclave of Chapelure agreed to extend his regency by a full year at which point the Conclave of Chapelure would declare the new emperor. On M7-21 421 ASB several republican riots took place across the south of the Empire in response to the war in the north and by M9 of the same year had evolved into a conflict comparable to any of the three conflicts in the north albeit more spread out, on M10-18 421 ASB the republican forces took Chapelure and Aregona's regency was extended until further notice.

On M10-21 423 ASB Duke Octracio Vermor, accompanied by a selection of other powerful men from the Empire of Red confronted Christopher Aregona and told him that he would be crowned emperor on M1-30 424 ASB and if Aregona did not give him access to the throne in Aubboria he and the other nobles with him would declare war against him, Aregona assured Vermor that he had not intention to stand in his way. Aregona concluded that the Empire of Red could not win the current civil war and formulated a plan to remove one of the factions from the war, preferably before Octracio Vermor was crowned emperor and on M11-10 423 ASB sent a letter to Dervot IV requesting his presence in Aubboria. A day later he tried to convince his father Rickshaw Aregona to leave the Empire of Red for Clayistan but failed due to not being able to give him the details.

Dervot IV arrived at the palace and met with Aregona on M1-22 424 ASB who explained that Duke Octracio Vermor was going to be crowned emperor on later that month and that the two of them needed to make peace with the Free Redpublic before his ascension, as Octracio was "a violent man who would never attempt to negotiate for peace with an enemy." After the explanation, Dervot IV and Christopher Aregona set off for the Free Redpublic capital Usk and arrived there on M1-27 424 ASB, where they were captured by Free Redpublic forces and brought before the Free Redpublic's president Simon Rakturn. Aregona requested that Rakturn call a ceasefire until the Red Civil War was over and they would sort their problems out then, but Simon Rakturn refused this request claiming that they were already winning the war and a ceasefire was unnecessary. Dervot IV asked Simon Rakturn why they were rebelling to begin with and Rakturn informed Dervot IV and Christopher Aregona that the Free Redpublic was made up of Redpublican natives who had been expelled from the Redpublic by the South Fleet occupiers, and that they were fighting to establish a second homeland for themselves. Upon hearing this, Dervot IV suggested that the Free Redpublic ally with and return the occupied portions of the Empire of Red, and in exchange the Empire and Clayistan would aid them by invading the South Fleet occupied Redpublic. Rakturn declined this offer but proposed a similar offer, with the sole difference being that the Free Redpublic would maintain the land in the Empire of Red that they currently occupy. Aregona rejected this proposal but proposed another counter offer which was nearly identical to Dervot IV's offer but let the Free Redpublic keep most of the occupied territory in the east, whilst giving up the lands in the west. Simon Rakturn, finally satisfied, drafted the treaty officializing it. Dervot IV and Aregona left Usk and arrived on the outskirts of Aubboria on M2-02 424 ASB. Aregona requested that Dervot IV deliver the treaty to the newly crowned Octracio III by himself, when Dervot IV returned he informed Aregona that Octracio III was not very happy about the treaty. On M2-03 424 ASB Dervot IV and Aregona boarded the vessel that had brought Dervot IV to the Precious Metals Compass, Aregona was dropped off at city of Firstip in Magnare on M2-05 424 ASB.

### Exile (424 ASB - 428 ASB)

Christopher Aregona found residence on the day of his arrival with a family who remembered him as the man who saved the Empire of Red years prior.

On M6-15 426 ASB the Red Civil War was declared over with the Empire of Red and allies being victorious, five days later Octracio III demanded the return of Magnare to the Empire of Red, he stated that "You are not Clay you are Reds" and implored all Reds living in Magnare to "Work towards reunification", this resulted in the formation of two factions; the Magnare Imperial Loyalists led by Daniel Norman, who wanted to reunify with the Empire of Red and a group calling themselves the Red's for Greater Autonomy led by Dennis Hall, who wished for Magnare greater autonomy for Magnare within Clayistan, both groups attempted to recruit Christopher Aregona to their cause, he declined joining either group.

On M6-04 428 ASB Christopher Aregona met with a Clayistan official who told him that he that he represented Dervot IV and that he wished to appoint him as the new Governor of Magnare in order to end the current anti-Clayistan movements on the peninsula, Aregona questioned why he was necessary for the job, the official said he did not no, but the current Governor of Magnare Michael Barshoal was aware of all of the details of the planned appointment, Aregona agreed to meet with Barshoal at the Governor's Building in Drahokam to discuss the details. Aregona was informed during his meeting with Barshoal that his appointment to governor could subdue the 'Red's for Greater Autonomy' and that he was the only Red that Dervot IV trusted to not attempt to reunify with the Empire of Red, Aregona became the Governor of Magnare three days later.

### Governor of Magnare (428 ASB - Present)

Upon becoming the Governor of Magnare Aregona was given control of the local garrison to use against the various enemy factions in the region. His first actions were to attempt to subdue the Red's for Greater Autonomy which he accomplished in his first week by announcing that he intended to fight for more autonomy in the region and in his second week by legalizing the Red's for Greater Autonomy as a private army that worked for him independent of the Clayistan military. Aregona had the newly armed Red's for Greater Autonomy begin suppressing those who got in his way, including the Magnare Imperial Loyalists.

On M9-07 428 ASB Aregona was informed by Dervot IV that he would be sending his daughter Felicity Heord to Drahokam to be trained Aregona and the head of the Magnare garrison Major Clayton Barshoal on how to be a diplomat. Felicity Heord arrived on M10-17 428 ASB and was given a room in the government office in Drahokam.

At the beginning of the War of Heordian Deposition in 429 ASB Aregona recognized Dervot IV as the King of Clayistan but elected to not send any of his garrison over fear of invasion by the Empire of Red. Aregona swapped who he recognized as the King of Clayistan to Claysando II on M8-28 431 ASB, two days after Dervot IV fled the Soil Texture Continent, despite this he continued to tutor Felicity Heord. A month after Aregona swapped his recognition to Claysando II it became apparent that the nearby Clayistan territory of the Associated Islands had no intention to swap their recognition of Dervot IV and it became equally apparent that subduing them would guarantee that Aregona kept his position after Claysando II won the civil war, he loaded the garrison into boats and launched an invasion of the nearest island later that day. The day after the beginning of the invasion Dennis Hall questioned Aregona as to how this invasion would benefit the Red people, Aregona told him that the autonomy movement was underdeveloped in the Associated Islands and that he intended to appoint a pro-autonomy governor once the islands were taken, he was then informed by Hall that he questioned his judge of character, Aregona reassured Hall by promising that he would appoint Hall as the new Governor of the Associated Islands.

On M1-01 433 ASB the last of the Associated Islands was captured by Aregona's forces, Aregona kept true to his promise and appointed Dennis Hall as the new Governor of the Associated Islands on M2-04 433 ASB, his primary reason with keeping his promise was that now he had full control of the Red's for Greater Autonomy as he no longer had to work through Hall.

Felicity Heord completed her training on M10-17 438 ASB, due to her father's location no longer being known Aregona offered her a job as his advisor, which she accepted.

On M6-16 440 ASB the control over the Magnare garrison was taken from Aregona and given directly to Claysando II.

Christopher Aregona was contacted on M10-11 445 ASB by King Manterro II of Clayistan and informed that he was now to take orders from the new position of Chief Colonial Administrator the person in this position was Manterro II's brother Amaan Ardash, Aregona had Heord set a room aside for Amaan Ardash. Amaan Ardash arrived earlier than expected on M10-23 445 ASB, Aregona greeted him.

On M6-30 447 ASB Aregona was told by Amaan that a member of the Council of Fifteen named Chester Comb was relocating to the city of Drahokam and was told to set aside an office for them and some rooms. Chester Comb and his staff arrived at Drahokam on M7-12 447 ASB Amaan Ardash and Christopher Aregona were present to greet him, among Comb's staff was the grandson of Dervot IV Even Heord.
