Zaffry

= Zaffry Barqueze =

Zaffry is currently a citizen of Eisenland, working as the Minister of Economy of his country. He is also the Count of the popular town Balhurst.

Appearance
Zaffry is an avarage looking guy for his age, the only stand out fetures are his shining emerald green eyes, pale white skin and long unkempt, messy hair. He is mostly seen wearing his long brown coat and grey scarf, covering a number of scars he got himself on a hiking trip.

Early life in Eldham
Not much is known about Zaffry's childhood and upbringing, the first pages of his diary began when he was already 21, this was the time he met a like-minded individual in his travels, a man known by the names of Shoeske and M4rci_Sz3ndvics. The two decided to settle in a badlands valley near similar smaller squatter settlements. Here is where the two expanded their knowledge beyond basic survival skills, while M4rci_Sz3ndvics began experimenting with the world of brewing and cheesemaking, Zaffry expanded their settlement, building a farm and a watchtower looking over the beach.

All was well until one day the two came back from their regular trips for resources they found the settlement completely ransacked. All their valuables stolen and most of the buildings blown to bits.

The pair in a state of shock and fear that the pillagers may return, began to pack up whatever was left, and set sail to the west, with no plan in mind they began their way to Rathnir in hope of a new life.

Arrival to the Iron Isles
After months of travel, on the brink of giving up Zaffry made the last journey, in hopes of a welcoming town or settlement that they could find shelter in. Shoeske has already given up at this point, but the last hopes were still living in Zaffry at at last he stumbled upon the menacing walls of Maxstadt.

The pair have finally did it, after almost a year of searching they found the welcoming country of Eisenland. They got placed into the at this point relatively inactive town of Balhurst, where Zaffry began working as a builder for the mayor Ravenn. Not much happened until an player by the name of Gmez came back from his vacation. This was the day everything changed for Zaffry. He was introduced to the world of brewing, and put to work in the Balhurst tavern for Gmez's pub in the capital city, Maxstadt.

Ministry work, and rising the ranks
While resupplying the Lastor pub in Maxstadt, Zaffry stumbled upon the at the time Minister of Economy, H4L0, there he was presented with an opportunity of a lifetime, a stable and well paying job at the government, he got the chance to work for the Economics Ministry. In the first few days progress was slow, but the more time passed the more confident Zaffry grew and the more deals he struck in international trading hubs, growing the nation's funds day by day.

Days turn into weeks, weeks into months and Zaffry is now an experienced trader, making thousands of dollars every day. One of these days seemed like any other one, but he couldn't have been more wrong, becasue on the 12th of October H4L0, the Minister stepped down and left the country, leaving the empty position for the only person employed by the Economics Ministry, Zaffry, who shorthy got sworn in by the Kaiser of Eisenland. And he has been occupying this position every since.

The downfall of an old menthor
As previously mentioned Gmez, the largest participant of the brewing industry in Eisenland, was also the man who got Zaffry's life in motion. He was a sort of menthor for the young man, so it doesnt come as a shock how much it hit Zaffry seeing Gmez fall out of the Kaiser's favour for his radical communist outbursts and newspaper. Zaffry while not completely agreeing with the sentence watched as Gmez was executed publicly.

Thanks to the government's distrust towrads Gmez in the end of his lifetime, Zaffry got handed a lot of his titles, for example the mayorship of Balhurst. After Gmez's death Zaffry also inhereted the old Lastor pub and everything else that belonged to his brewer master.
