Guy McBabwe

Guy McBabwe (Guy McBabwe of Allium Panem), otherwise known as just "Guy", is the current (legal) head of the dynastic house of Allium Panem (A position disputed with Hugh of Allium Panem, who unrightfully claims the position based on seniority). He is the second head of the house of Allium Panem, he succeeded his Uncle, McBabwe of Allium Panem (Who he's partially named after), after his death at the age of ~100 in accordance with the latter's will.

He was born to the late Vienna of Allium Panem and Maximilian in their elegant residence in The Magisterium. His parents perished during his early childhood, leaving him under the care of nannies paid by his uncle, McBabwe. Following his mother's death, McBabwe would exchange letters with the young Guy McBabwe on a monthly basis. In this period he received a valuable education from tutors and would keep up with the news coming from Eldham, primairily those originating from Amarillo, where his uncle was a figure of interest.

Upon his uncle's death, he'd inherit everything he had (With the exception of 17 cents that went to Hugh), and would choose to migrate to Eldham to administrate his properties and take over his responsibilities in the nation of Amarillo he had heard so much of, with the consent of the nation's government.

Early childhood
Born to Vienna of Allium Panem and Maximillian (no surname) in their elegant residence in the Magisterium. The family followed the Sentari faith, as they originated from the now abandoned city of Dawnstar. Guy McBabwe had a properous early childhood, counting with a functional and wealthy family, however, following his father's death when he was two in a fishing accident, his family's lifestyle would become somehwhat more humble, with her mother being forced to consider moving homes a few times. Even after this accident, Guy McBabwe's mother would continue to offer a comfortable enviroment to live in.

Later in his life, shortly after his 6th birthday, disease would take hold of his mother, which she would quickly succumb to. Following his mother's passing, Guy McBabwe's family remaining would consist of his uncle McBabwe and the latter's progenies. Guy McBabwe was unable to live with his family as they lived in Eldham and McBabwe deemed that the journey was "too long for the young fellow". Throughout the rest his childhood Guy McBabwe was cared for by nannies and tutored by private tutors, and his assets and finances were administered by a private accountant, all of whom paid by McBabwe himself. Guy McBabwe's education was favourable and he received a generous allowance from McBabwe.

Later childhood
His later childhood was definitely the most properous time Guy McBabwe had lived through. During this time he'd receive above average results in his education, however, they were rarely exceptional. Guy McBabwe would spend his free time doing cultured activities like the collection of notable artifacts, specially books, which he was most passionate about and amounted a humble collection. He also gathered an interested in writing at this time. He had more humble interests, like fishing, which he could do for hours.

Guy McBabwe actively communicated with his uncle, receiving and mailing letters on a monthly basis, like this he was able to learn of his family, Amarillo, the Drakaeslands and some of McBabwe's other endevours. Although he never had the chance to meet or even exchange letters with him, Guy McBabwe was saddened when he heard of the death of his cousin, Hauat of Allium Panem. Guy McBabwe invested some of his savings to mail Hauat's son, Hugh, some gold blocks he bought as a sign of his condolences. Thankful for Guy McBabwe's sympathy, McBabwe gifted him a sophisticated top hat, which Guy McBabwe wears since.

Early adulthood
Upon Guy McBabwe reaching adulthood, McBabwe dismissed Guy McBabwe's nannies, tutors and private accountant. Guy McBabwe's allowance was minimally reduced, but it continued to be more than enough for him to maintain his lifestyle. Guy McBabwe continued exchanging mail with McBabwe and increased his focus in writing, however he'd never finalize a piece.

Migration to Amarillo
When Guy McBabwe was 21, his uncle passed away, reportedly of hay fever, which disheartened Guy McBabwe. Unbeknownst to Guy McBabwe, the old McBabwe's political thoughts had become more extreme and marginal, which led him to come to despise his grandson, Hugh, at one point referring to him as a "dirty nachtengurin", since he believed him to be a traitor to himself and the late Hauat for his acceptance of what he identified as pan-Drakaen ideals when he continued to be mayor of Mondragon within the Nachtenreich. Due to this dispue, McBabwe left all his assets, finances (Excluding 17 cents left to Hugh as an insult) and the headship of the dynastic house of Allium Panem. Guy McBabwe made the decision to leave his home and migrate to Amarillo, as to directly administrate his new finances and assets, he also hoped to be able to take over McBabwe's offices within Amarillo. Upon arriving in Puerto Amarillo, Guy McBabwe was allowed by the government to take over the offices of his uncle. As his first objective, McBabwe set out to make a detailed account of his new assets throughout Amarillo, allowing him to see much of the country.

Guy McBabwe began his journey remaining in Puerto Amarillo, a city that had already given him a bad first impression, since many of it's buildings laid in ruins. He was left no happier when he found his uncle's home to be merely a shell of what it was meant to be, with one of the walls missing and the floors of the house having collapsed. Guy McBabwe would go on to learn that the destruction of the city had been caused by a Pasifian attack during the Pasifian stage of the Kelp War.

Guy McBabwe found his next destination much more pleasant, that being Etruia. He found Etruia to be a perfect city, he said it had "superb architecture" and the buildings were placed in a "genius manner". He was most astounded by the city's library, which he said was an "excellent building which had rooms so excellent that would dazzle anyone privelaged enough to see them". He was also pleased to see that his home there was in an immaculate state. Guy McBabwe visited the city of Aurica last, having to cross the entire Drakaeslands to get there. As it had been the "Heart of Drakaes" and the oldest city in the Drakaeslands, he expected to find a glorious city in full splendor. Once he reached Aurica, Guy McBabwe claimed that his "dissappointment is of such massive proportions I wouldn't be able to express it". Guy McBabwe's dissappointment was due to the fact that where he expected to find a thriving metropolis, he found a hardly organised town on the verge of abandonment. Guy McBabwe considered abandoning Aurica to the enviroment and settling down in Puerto Amarillo or Etruia, living a comfortable life in the Amarillian mainland, however, whilst in Aurica he found plans left by McBabwe to construct a proper city in the land. Finding the plans favourable, Guy McBabwe chose to maintain Aurica and made it his goal to develop the city.

Life in Aurica within Amarillo
Unlike his uncle, Guy McBabwe demonstrated that he was a politically moderate and did not share his uncle's biases, like the unquestionable hate of pan-Drakaen ideals, when Amarillo and the Nacktenreich merged into an empire within the Drakaeslands, as he showed no opposition. Due to a lack of volunteers to participate in the Amarillian elections Guy McBabwe chose to participate, even though he was still learning about some aspects of Amarillian politics and was a new and generally unknwon person. As someone could easily predict, this endevour failed.

Guy McBabwe would continue to serve as an Amarillian parliamentarian and would hold minor ministerial positions for brief periods of time in some occassions.

Aurican independence
During the early years of the Amarillian empire, the population of Guy McBabwe's province of Aurica would grow significantly, becoming the most populous province and region of the entire country. However, due to consistently failing efforts, the city of Aurica remained undeveloped and saw minimal population growth before once again declining. Aurican public opinion would eventually flirt with independence, leading to the creation of the Kingdom of Aurica within Amarillo. Public opinionwould eventually almost universally support total independence after Empress Connie I of Amarillo attempted to block the movement, causing deep resentement among the populace and culminating in a final declaration of independence. Guy McBabwe played a major role in the internal Amarillian politics that led to the usage of the Treaty of the Rising Sun to separate Aurica from Amarillo

With the independence of Aurica, Guy McBabwe would play a somewhat significant role in the establishment of internal administration in the newly independent state Made the discord, lmao. After that he'd see no major participation in government politics. He'd continue to fail to develop Aurica, eventually agreeing to a settlement with Co-King Bob to trade the mayorship of the town for the governorship of Holmfirth fortress. In Holmfirth Fortress Guy McBabwe would claim to be "disillusioned with life" as he did not believe he had any purpose anymore and felt dissappointed with the state of the Kingdom of Aurica.

Return to Amarillo and civil war

Deciding to abandon his recluded life in Holmfirth Fortress, Guy McBabwe decided to migrate to Puerto Amarillo in the Amarillian mainland, where his uncle McBabwe once resided and left Aurica. Upon arrival he chose to renounce ownership of his uncle's home to the mayorship and in exchange received the former storage house of the city as a residence, which although smaller, wasn't destroyed. Guy McBabwe would return to the Amarillian parliament, becoming it's head, although he made no notable actions in this position. Here he still felt disillusioned and suffered of light depression as he wasn't confident he would live up to his uncle's acheivements.

Upon the suspension of the Imperial Mandate, Guy McBabwe lost his positions in the government and fearing for his life, left the city of Puerto Amarillo shortly before the breakout of the revolution in the city, accomodating himself in his residence in Etruia. Upon learning of the revolution, Guy McBabwe was filled with enthusiasm, as inspired by the beliefs and legacy of his uncle, he was very supportive of the ideals of the republican faction of the revolution. As the revolutionaries assualted the city of Etruia, Guy McBabwe would join their ranks and would participate in the occupation of the city, although he saw no combat. The former battle would effectively cause the complete desintegration of the Amarillian monarchy, but not before the Empress surrendered integral Amarillian territory and subjugated the nation to the newly formed West Drakaes, these actions would greatly infuriate Guy McBabwe, as he saw these actions as treason not only to the Amarillian nation but to legality.

When West Drakaes recognised the Empress' signature, a hatred based on the sleazyness of Drakaen officials and his uncle's beliefs would form a hatred for the Drakaen ideal within Guy McBabwe.

After the fragmentation of the revolution, Guy McBabwe supported the republican faction, playing a role of mild importance on the war policy of the republicans.

Provisional government and reclusion

When the republicans captured the city of Puerto Amarillo and the neo-imperialist and authoritarian forces collapsed the Republic of Amarillo would become the single government of Amarillo. Although the republicans had unquestionably won an absolute victory, they were pressured by West Drakaes to negotiate with the defeated, forcing Amarillo to recognise its membership in West Drakaes and the sale of land, which only created further negative thoughts of Drakaes in Guy McBabwe's mind.

Guy McBabwe was appointed as a member of the provisional government of Amarillo, which was tasked with re-establishing order in Amarillo. One of the first actions of the provisional government was setting up a plebiscite on whether Amarillo should regain independence or remain in West Drakaes, in which he dedicated himself to campaign for independence. After the first vote was affected by malpractice, several Pan-Drakaen idealists were suspicious of Guy McBabwe, this pressured the provisional government to remove him to avoid possible disputes. With the recount, Guy McBabwe defended his innocence and once again unsuccessfully campaigned for Amarillian indepenence.

After Amarillo's failure to abandon West Drakaes and the constant defamation of his integrity, Guy McBabwe fell into a grave depression. He abandoned Amarillo and returned to Holmfirth Fortress, where he recluded himself from society.

Alcoholism
Guy McBabwe has prepetually suffered of alcoholism to varying degrees. An avid drinker, during celebrations he tends to consume obscene amounts of alchohol, which some people describe as "fatal". A notable event was during the wedding of King Garolid I of Aurica and Queen Maria where he allegedly drank at least half of all the alcoholic beverages present at the event.

It is widely assumed that Guy McBabwe's unhealthily large alcohol consuption has only worsened since his reclusion to Holmfirth Fortress.
