===='''Background and Early Life'''====
Line 39 ⟶ 42:
In 663, Maltravers would run for Chancellor with the National Unity Party against Joanna Sousa of the KWP. During the campaign he consulted with the then Chancellor Willard Magnus Ward for advice. Maltravers would win the Election with over 50% of the vote. As a result of winning, Maltravers decided to step down from running his family practice, handing over to his son Edmund Maltravers III.
===='''The 1st Maltravers Administration'''====
Maltravers would assume office on the 18th January 663, succeeding Chancellor Magnus Ward. He ran on a platform of reinvesting the nuclear energy grid, loosening restrictions around abortion, beginning an anti smoking and alcohol campaign, and transportation improvement. His policy around loosening restrictions around abortion would shortly thereafter go through the General Assembly, it wasn't until later that legislation around the Nuclear Power Grid and Transportation would pass through.
Line 50 ⟶ 53:
Crystal City was finally recaptured on the 13th January, 665. This came after support from the URA, including armoured tanks, arrived to help the Kodiak Army in an assault. On the 18th, Commune forces would begin to withdraw.
Toward the end of the term, Maltravers's health had declined greatly. He had noticeably aged and was sleeping far more than usual. The effects of the Commune and the uprising had caused a majority of these issues. As the election period drew closer, Maltravers announced he would run to seek a second term. In October of 665 Maltravers would undergo a Coronary artery bypass graft.
===='''The 2nd Maltravers Administration'''====
In January of 666, Maltravers would win a second term. The earliest days of his term would see further turmoil in Graz, which saw fighting from multiple groups. Maltravers ordered a swift response to the situation. Maltravers second term would focus primarily on this issue, as further dissent began to occur. September of 666 saw Maltravers face further pushback against an increasingly hostile KWP, causing a great burden upon his health.
In February 667, after having another breakdown, and due to a no confidence vote, he resigned.
==== '''Later life''' ====
After resigning from the Chancellorship, Maltravers would return to practicing medicine.
He moved to 24 Malcolm Street, Aston. It would be his final residence. In April 667, he was hospitalised after a heart attack. He was then moved into a hospice in early May, briefly returning home before returning to the Hospice. He died on July 20 667, aged 54.
==== '''Personal Life''' ====
Maltravers would marry Alexandrina Stephens in 641. The two having been long time friends since first school. Eventually the two would go on to have several children: Edmund (born
Before his accession to politics, he continued to work at his Small Medical Practice and Bookshop until becoming chancellor. As a result of his multiple jobs, he was able to earn quite a bit of money, an estimated 90,000 florins per year. He also continues to advocate for nonviolence and protection of small businesses. In 663, some time after him becoming Chancellor, his mother Sybill would die at the age of 81.

==Josceline Fitzmaurice Sassoon==

===='''Early Life'''====
Josceline Norval Fitzmaurice Sassoon was born on 24 May 623 in Vikstein in the Darrent to Emilius John Sassoon (582-626), an army officer, and Margaret, née Emerson (589-). The couple had settled in Vikstein as Emilius’s service was drawing to a close so Emilius could begin working as a banker. Sassoon had one younger brother, Salford Emilius Sassoon (625-).
When he was three, he travelled down to Godsith on what was intended to be a lengthy family visit. However the trip was cut short when Emilius contracted Rheumatic fever and died. This left the family without any income, therefore his mother took them to live in Aston-upon-Lum with her grandparents. Sassoon enjoyed exploring the woods around Aston, which would go onto influence his later writings, alongside other nearby settlements. Margaret taught her two children at home. Josie, as he was known to the family, was reportedly a keen pupil. He took a keen interest in botany and linguistics. Young Sassoon enjoyed drawing, especially landscapes and trees. However, his favourite lesson was horticulture, which he took to tentatively with his mother.
During his teenage years, Sassoon continued to take an interest in fantasy, especially constructed languages. At age 16 he wrote his first (unpublished book), Necromancer. This book has never been publicly released and Sassoon has spoken little about it, however it is believed that this book drew influences from traumas of his early childhood.
He would go on to study at Rykkburgh university from 641 to 646.
===='''Academic and Writing Career'''====
Upon graduating from Rykkburgh University in 646, Sassoon would become a professor at the university, teaching the classical literature course. In 646, he published his first book, Godsith Hollow with Middleton and Haggerty. Some time after that he went on to publish the Little Man of Sidmouth, adopting the pen name of J.F. Sassoon. As his career continued to take off, Sassoon became more involved with right wing politics, oftentimes giving speeches to his students about the dangers of socialism and communism upon Kodiak. Alongside that he would continue to write, including some non-fiction books.
In 646, Sassoon began a megaproject known as the Færie Stories. The first of these was the Daidaleon, which would set the background of this literary universe Sassoon was establishing. After several years, this book was published independently, rather than with Middleton and Haggerty. Whilst finishing his first book, he would begin his second major book ‘’’the Druóphones’’’. While writing that, he published the ‘’’Queen of the Wood Pixies’’’ in 662. The Druóphones was not published until 664.
In the 660s, during the civil war in which a commune rose up, Sassoon joined the Army. Sassson would be active in Graz and Seathenia. He wrote at the time that “the commune should be shot for treachery.” His time in the civil war would influence his political opinions going forward.
Sassson would be injured in 666, which left him without the use of his left leg, which was eventually amputated. He thus returned to teaching at Rykkburgh, this time teaching law.
After some time away from published works, Sassoon published Nyktomoir with Middleton and Haggerty - this marked the first time he published for the faerie stories with the publishing house.
===='''Political Career'''====
After being wounded during the Civil War, Sassoon returned to Aston-upon-Lum with the desire to pursue the seat in 668. Due to unforeseen circumstances he would get the seat in 667 instead after Cosmo Maltravers resigned. In a break from his usual tendancies, shortly after getting into office he would join the DPPK as one of their few Conservative members. He later joined the NUP. As he continued in his political career, he would begin to subscribe to the idea of "natural order" - the belief that everything in life had a place and that place must be maintained at any and all cost. It marked a swift turn to a more conservative path for Sassoon, who had hitherto been rather reserved about his full opinions.
===='''Private Life'''====
Sassoon was throughout his life an infamous womaniser, known to have frequent affairs. He was known to have had affairs during his first marriage, at least up to eight other woman during the marriage; it is unknown if he had any further affairs during his second marriage.
Sassoon was married twice, first to Philomena FitzFinnigan (624-) from 646 to 654, when the two divorced. He then went on to marry Georgina McCartney in 655.
