(PLACEHOLDER) Official Inauguration Portrait

**Scott Jēralt Lētters** (born March 15th, 1969), is an Alsesian politician who served as the 23rd President of Alsesia from February 5th, 2012 to February 6th, 2022. A member of the National Coalition, he served as a member of the Nordgard Provincial Legislature from January 8th, 1995 to January 2nd, 2005 and as the Governor of Nordgard Province from January 2nd, 2005 until January 1st, 2012.

A member of the noble house, Lētters was born and raised in the city of Hel's Landun prior to serving in the Marine Corps and attending the prestigious Altus University. His political career began with his election to the Nordgard Provincial Legislature and his subsequent rise to national fame.

Lētters was succeeded as president by Jordan Vortik in 2022. He has since remained away from politics, living in retirement and refusing to give interviews or speeches.

## Early Life

Scott Lētters was born on March 15th, 1969 at Alber Lētters Memorial Hospital in Hel's Landun, Nordgard. The second of four children born to Jon Lētters and Adalan Lētters (*née* Schnezik), he has an older brother, Cēdar, a younger sister, Kathran, and a younger brother, Brandon.

Lētters was educated at Arturan Lētters Academy for all of his school years. The fact that he had been born in a hospital and taught at a school named for his ancestors left Lētters with a strong sense of duty. Lētters was considered an outstanding student, who twice led the Academy's debate team to victory in the national championships. He was also a competent athlete, playing as an inner-guard for *bolshlat* during his tertiary school years. Lētters graduated on April 1st, 1988, ranking 7th in his year and with a perfect GPA of 10.00.

## Military Service

Lētters pre-enlisted in the Alsesian Marine Corps months before his graduation. He was sent to Hel’s Landun Naval Station just days after the ceremony, where he underwent basic training. After this, he trained to serve as a mortarman, and was assigned to the fleet on November 11th, 1988.

Lētters was first deployed in December of that year, arriving in Kylan to support the nation during its war with Aritas. Lētters served well in his role and was awarded three Medals of Achievement and a Bronze Cross. He participated in the crucial battles of Sudmont, Muntesburg, Anshuzia (where he was wounded), Endrutsburg, Saudsburg, and Kasanburg.

Lētters was formally discharged from active duty on November 5th, 1990 at the rank of Corporal, having spent two years serving his country.

## University

Lētters, having enrolled just prior to the end of his service, attended Altus University in Nu Muskov. He immediately declared his concentrations to be history, international relations, and legal studies, as he hoped to find work as an immigration lawyer in the future.

Lētters had a pleasant time at the university. He made several friends in his classes and was thought an excellent student by his peers and professors. Despite being a Hel's Landunyr, he enjoyed life in the city of New Muskov, and considered it friendlier and more quiet in contrast to the bustle of his hometown.

In his third year, Lētters participated in intensive course that focused on international law and Alsesia's role in enforcing it. The course was supervised by the infamous professor Josep Danirell, who was impressed by his dedication. Lētters completed the course with distinction, and was able to graduate early on April 1st, 1993 with a Freeman's Title.

## Graduation and First Office

Lētters was employed soon after as a paralegal at the struggling Torsyorzi-Uldasik law firm in Hel's Landun. He was a welcome addition to the company, serving as an "immigrant magnet" due to his educational background and area of expertise. His presence bolstered the company's clientele numbers, and he became known to the public as a compassionate man who would thoroughly explain the law to anybody who needed help. Unfortunately for Lētters, the work quickly became tedious. Helping those in need was enjoyable, but the bureaucracy involved with legal work was taxing on his soul. In late 1994, a seat in the Nordgard Provincial Legislature was vacated after the incumbent chose not to run for reelection. Lētters, seeking a new direction in life, quickly filed to run. As a life-long member of the National Coalition, Lētters sought to be its nominee for the seat. Although he faced strong primary challengers who attacked his lack of experience, his name-recognition and strong debate performances resulted in him narrowly clinching the NatCo nomination. In December of 1994, Lētters narrowly won the 46th Electoral District, which he represented for all his terms.
