## Biograhpy

Barend Kramer left Kartek with a friend, Yiex, to a deserted island, only inhabited by a single portal. The two of them went on opposite sides of this said portal, making their destination different than the other. However, Yiex thought that Barend Kramer was with him, fighting the challenges that were within. Yet it was far from the truth. When they left the portal, what he saw would change Barend Kramer forever. Yiex decided to stay to protect the island and because he won it by doing the challenges in the portal as well. When Barend Kramer returned to his former nation, the situation was even worse. Different, Kramer knew the time was now. He and RGBstarship, attempted a political coup against the tzar of Arxella, one of the two leaders in Kartek.

He unfortunately failed and, losing his mind, decided to plant 7000 to 9000 trees. He became a naturalist because of his unfortunate madness.

Then, 001first, leader of the Confederate Trade Guild, the tsar Ferro Korolevski, former Tsar of Arxella and General\_ich, leader of Kranga formed the loyalist Kartek army and invited Barend to join them. To fight against Frosterium, the invader, Barend gave the rebel hope by seeing the face of the Gertek god, a giant troll, over the capital of Gertek, Gortovar. Telling them that the god is at their side. They won against their oppressor. The nation was then transformed into a federation. But it would not last for long.

Another separation happened and the loyalist was back for more. Now it was against Rohel and Arxella. Barend, for the KLA, invited Yiex, his friend, to come over and fight for their cause. Yiex would become of the most talented warriors of the generation and beyond. Between the fights, Barend became even more insane with his spiritual beliefs, he then saw Tenga's face, another Gertek god. So, to make his madness more justifiable, he started to teach the religion to the party, making everyone a believer like him. The rebels, with the command of 001first and Barend Kramer, sacked entire villages, kidnapped children and mothers, tortured them until the nation of Rohel paid them to let them be. Kramer changed. The two proclaimed the Kartek Caliphate. Rohel fell with the pressure, and Kartek was reunited once more.

Kramer became the new holy general of the caliphate and, only after moments after the civil war, Frosmyre, a former state of Frosterium, declared war on them. Kartek then declared war on Escharia, blaming them for being one of the main causes of the clusterfuck. Kramer commanded the many skirmished against the two. He was so terrifying in battle, that he was named "The laughing priest" because of his clown mask and intense laughter. After many wars, another civil war began. With the independence of many nations in the caliphate, Barend retreated into his mansion with 5 wives he captured in a raided village.
