Jack Williams, Sometimes referred to as "Jackyboy" by his college friends, was born in 632 in the port capital city of San Chico in the province of Sadore. The son of a local doctor and history professor, Williams would grow in a rich and comfortable lifestyle however his parents instilled the ideas of love, care, and diligence of service to the people around him. After the death of a close friend who was killed in the local San Chico jail due to mismanagement of his cell placement, Williams decided to pursue a career in Law.

However, halfway through his time at college in Rykkburgh, his father would pass away from a sudden heart attack, leaving his mother with an empty house and a broken spirit. Jack would decide to leave college to work at home where in 652 he started working for San Chico Port International. In 654, he would be elected to the Vice Presidency of the San Chico Port Workers Union where he lobbied for better worker conditions and rights within the organization. In 658, He graduated from Kodiak National University with a Law Degree and decided to Found his own Law Firm with the backing of his mother.

For the next 4 years he would help Union workers in many cases around the San Chico port to be given compensation for work-related injuries and rights violations. His work in this community generated a kind of influence only few people own and Williams would take his popularity and support for a campaign towards the Representative seat in Kodiak's General Assembly. He would defeat the incumbent member to take over the San Chico North district seat in the Sadore province. Originally joining the General Assembly as an independent, he would end up joining the Democratic Progress Party of Kodiak, where in late of 664 with former DPPK leader, Jonn Stevens decided to step down, Jack has since then taken over for Stevens as Party leader next to Tobias Virsturm.

The Rise and Fall of The DPPK-NUP Coalition

In 666, The DPPK would partner with the National Unity Party in a political coalition lifting Williams to the powerful seat of Assembly President where he defeated incumbent, KWP's Braughn Kryos. Jack's sudden rise to the top of the assembly was a dream come true, however it brought forth challenges, especially with the coalition between the DPPK and the NUP which was slowly deteriorating. Cabinet arguments between coalition members boiled over as President Williams ended the coalition after He and fellow DPPK member, Joseph Fala was dismissed from the cabinet. The sudden ending of the coalition caused the political atmosphere in the assembly to become volatile as both sides were in constant fights with each other. President Williams publically called out the late Chancellor Maltravers and his cabinet for their handling of the Civil War and called for a swift ending or action would have to come forward to vote out the cabinet in a no-confidence vote. By the start of 667, The assembly had fallen into a slow crawl as President Williams started holding government bills on the table to keep them from going to debate infuriating the NUP members. But that wouldn't be the last time Williams would use his power excessively.

Chancellor Williams

In 667, DPPK leader, Tobias Virsturm introduced a no-confidence vote as the DPPK and KWP announced a new coalition between the parties in what became a huge turn of events. Chancellor Maltravers who before stated that he would retire if a no-confidence vote was ever introduced, did just that as in February of 667, he would end his time in the Chancellorship. President Williams became the forefront leader of the no-confidence vote as publically he would call upon the NUP leadership to start doing something or step down, calling them out for their blatant mishandling of the civil war and calling for the end as he had done before. What came next shocked the whole assembly, President Williams would move forward with the no-confidence vote but in a different way, moving straight forward to an election between him and the current Chancellor, Felix Hurst. With the support of independents and the two parties, Williams would take the chancellorship 111 to 89 in votes in one of the most unprecedented and historical political moves of all time by a top political figure. He would now lead Kodiak as Chancellor Williams.
