"'Remember, Alfheim is not the cities or towns or houses, but the people'" Prince Delta Bolodrav is a soldier, playwright and Former Alfheimi statesman, who served as the first Prime Minister of Alfheim from 0 RE to 4 RE. Appointed by his fellows as the Prince of Schwarzfeld, he could not prevent their expulsion from Syltör. He led his people to Haven, where they would found the Republic of Alfheim.

As Prime Minister, he saw through the construction of its Capital, Chervonstad and the founding of the towns of Sagan Tosu and Chervonliqen, the latter eventually becoming part of Chervonstad. Delta played an indispensable role during the formative years of the country. Many of his policies are still used in some way or another.

Delta negotiated the incorporation of Aravind into Alfheim. This deal doubled the size of the republic, but would later lead to a brief civil war due to King Alvar II’s dissatisfaction with the deal.

Delta is currently the Culture Minister of Hearthstone Yuldai as well as being a Vendi of Ziemia. Managing the Ziemian district of Wolfstone which is a small Lycan populated fief around the Squats and the Paldesji Valley

Early Life (18 PRE to 1 PRE)
Delta was born to Mimek Bolodrav and Joan K. B. Bolodrav in 18 PRE at Pedregal, Boulderov as the couple’s second child. At an early age, Delta showed an interest in listening to and telling stories. Whilst not getting a formal education, Delta received lessons in mathematics, writing and the basics of politics from his parents.

At an unknown date Delta went missing from Pedregal and end up on the streets of Akunamvula, Tortuga having contracted Lycanthropy. He had to live off the streets for weeks until he was found by a young Mat, who became friends with Delta. In 1 PRE, Mat invited Delta to join a planned rebellion against Sexy, the Pirate Emperor. He accepted and became the propaganda minister for the rebels. During this time, Delta met his best friend and future co-founder of Alfheim Niftyzebra, Piotik von Burg. In the month preceding the planned uprising, Delta met Stoneworks (user) who inspired the name of the rebellion after giving Delta the Saint's Blood. The plot, now known as the Red Turban Rebellion, would end in a massacre and the exile of its members.

After his exile, Delta was convinced by Shark, another former Red Turban, to move to Bardonia during the Allium-Coalition War. This led to the founding of the Principality of Schwarzfeld with Delta as its prince. He quickly transformed it into a republic. Before the new state could grow and developed, its people were expelled from Bardonia, despite Uldarashi and Viodoxan guarantees to protect it.

In 2 PRE Delta would seek refuge in Montroig where he met Marrie Gooblegins. The two quickly became friends and Delta was officially adopted into the familiy as her brother. During his time in Montroig Delta became inspired by Caterina of Montroig, the Elected Empress of Uldarash at the time. He grew to love the reforms she was pushing for in the Second Empire of Uldarash and was encouraged to go and speak to her. During this meeting, Delta was offered a gift. He was given territory within the Uldarash imperial lands to create a new republic for him and his fellow exiles from Schwarzburg. To this day, Delta feels that he owes Caterina everything for letting Delta and his friends settle down.

Prime Minister
Delta was elected to be the first Prime Minister of The Republic of Alfheim on the 3rd of Eldhach year 1. The first year of his term was focused on building Chervonstad, the capital city of the new republic. It saw a big and fast expansion in construction and population. Parliament road and Republic street were constructed, giving home to the ministers and the first citizens. Later in the year it became Delta started the construction of the stables, founded Alfheim’s miner's union, worked on the public mine, and several pubs were opened.

By the beginning of his second year in office, a severe housing crisis began, as more and more people moved to Alfheim. Most of the people found their way to the other Alfheimi cities of Sagan-Tosu and Chervonliqen. However, this was not enough, and homelessness remained a mayor issue. Delta resolved this by starting a mayor building program. Unlike earlier construction efforts, it was declared that anyone who built a house would receive a reward. After a few days, Democracy Square and Adilol avenue were constructed, along with many new homes, putting an end to the housing crisis.

Later in his term, Delta began negotiations with King Alvar II for a potential merging of their respective states. This culminated in the signing of the Midgard Union agreements. The merging of Alfheim and Aravind lead to Alfheim becoming big and populous, causing many smaller states to become envious of it. The Republic’s rapid growth and expansion made it the 4th most populous State in Uldarash in its first month. Beating founding states such as Sanctuary and The Kingdom of Boulderov.

Alfheimi Depression
Delta did not run again for the position of Prime Minister after his term ended. Instead, in 4 RE, he announced that he would run for the position of minister of culture. During his campaign, Delta promised to develop Alfheim’s burgeoning cultural identity. After winning the election and being sworn in, Delta started working on building Alfheim’s first library. This was built just outside the walls of Chervonstad right opposite Castle Von Alfen. Besides just building the library, he also wrote several books on the history of Alfheim to add to the initial collection.

The Prime Ministership of Piotik would be marked with a general decline of Alfheim and a rise in monarchist feeling in the young republic. Tensions between Alfheim and all its neighbors, Chevkri and Sanctuary, began to arise. During this time Renitsu, then the effective ruler of Sanctuary, and Sabiszos, ruler of Alagadda, began to act more aggressively towards Alfheim. At the same time, Piotik’s responses to this only worsened the situation in Alfheim and its relations with other states. This all came to a head during the upcoming election cycle. Immediately suspicious of Rettery von Burg’s and Ren’s election campaign for the King’s Party, Delta began to investigate their intentions. Based on the things he found, he determined that they were planning to turn Alfheim into a puppet kingdom for Sanctuary. As a result, Delta would run on a joint ticket with the popular Minister of Defence, Ashley, with Delta as vice prime minister. Together they were able to beat Rettery’s and Ren’s campaign and secure Alfheim’s status as a republic.

Vice Prime Minister
In 8 RE Alfheim was in a bad shape, the population was declining, and the economy was stagnant. Together with Ashley, Delta began to work on revitalizing Alfheim. As part of this project, he built Alfheim’s New Parliament and the southern district of Chervonstad. These efforts along with the founding of Axel turned Alfheim’s fortunes around for the coming decades.

During the period of tensions between Axel and Alfheim, Delta used his existing relationship with Nifty to calm things down. This eventually allowed the dispute to fizzle out without causing a civil war in Alfheim.

Early Civil War
When the Uldarash Schism began, Prime Minister Ashley declared Alfheim's support for Caterina. This would lead to her spending more and more time focussing on the war effort, training and production. In her place, Delta took up most of her regular internal duties, which involved internal propaganda efforts and running Parliament sessions. He also aided in producing war materials when Ashley was otherwise occupied. An example of this was when he worked deep into the night with Vic van Barcht to build up a supply of potions for the army.

During the civil war, Delta Von Alfen enlisted in the Loyalist Military and saw action during the Hapatmitas-Chevkri campaign. He was part of the Desert Foxes formation that would launch a diversionary attack on New Coolio City in Chevkri. This attack turned into a disastrous one but did serve to distract Imperial forces for some time. When the attack on Hapatmitas by the main Loyalist force began to falter, the Desert Foxes, including Delta, decided to swim to the other side of the city and distract the defenders by attacking the North of the town. Imperial forces were diverted to deal with them, but the main army could not exploit this, and the Desert Foxes were scattered.

Late Civil War
For some time after the Battle of Hapatmitas, Delta Von Alfen was, among many others missing in action, presumed dead. After some time recovering physically and mentally, he would return to Alfheim. After his and Ashley's disappearance, the political situation of Alfheim had dramatically shifted. In her will, Prime Minister Ashley had left emergency power to Vic van Barcht and appointed Ren Morningstar and Thayff as temporary ministers. Together they had formed an informal triumvirate to keep the war effort going, rebuild and also look for a potential evacuation plan for the people of Alfheim and Montroig.

Upon his return to Alfheim, Delta was added to this political block and became the Minister of Culture of Alfheim. He would spend most of his time integrating new citizens into Alfheim and invigorating them to work to defend the Republic. Delta's efforts led to a massive population boom, which would force the government to begin the reconstruction and redevelopment of Chervonstad. During this time, Delta also began to travel across Rathnir to forge new diplomatic connections for Alfheim and Loyalist Uldarash. Delta would meet Alice on these travels, and he would soon marry and have several children with her.

When the Uldarash Civil war came to a close, Alfheim was on its way to beating Aurora in productivity, population and military power. This was in no small part because of Delta's efforts to recruit and inspire the people.

Reconstruction
The vote to accept the Treaty of Terroja was controversial in Alfheim and put a lot of stress on its government. The political clique Delta was in, now also including GameOnFinn, Alphonse Gooblegins, Argon Retter and Nate, that had run Alfheim and Loyalist Uldarash since Ashley's disappearance, eventually accepted the treaty. They also agreed that this was nothing but a temporary truce. So they decided not to drop their efforts and work to be able to overcome Aurora in all potential fields.

Delta kept serving as Minister of Culture of Alfheim during this time and worked to keep up the population growth of the Republic. He would also play a critical role in the redevelopment of Chervonstad by helping construct apartments across the city or collecting the resources needed for construction. After a major falling out between then Prime Minister of Alfheim Vic van Barcht and the Uldarash High Council that led to his expulsion, Delta would serve as one of Alfheim's representatives along with GameOnFinn. He also further aided the Ministery of Defence by further developing and expanding the training methods of the Alfheimi Army.

When the Crimson Blades settled in Alfheim, Delta joined them and went on several missions as part of this outfit. Fighting in Rohel, Viodoxa City, and helping the USSE as a part of the Crimson Blades' long term contract with them, Delta gained quite a lot of experience on the battlefield.

As part of a general plan to reach out more to the other countries in Uldarash, Delta began to spend a lot of time in Boulderov. Here he was reunited with his parents, although neither he nor they realised it at this point. These diplomatic efforts were successful, forming a friendship between Boulderov and the former Loyalists. Delta's relationship with King Mimek and Queen Joan would change soon. His relationship with Alice had become strained, and after a significant argument, Delta divorced Alice and went so far as to dissolve the Von Alfen family, an extremely controversial move. The emotional turmoil began to break the lycan curse and allowed more of Delta's enderman nature to surface. At this point, Mimek and Joan recognised him as their missing child and welcomed him back into the family.

Delta Bolodrav
Now a Bolodrav, Delta would become Vice-Minister of Infrastructure under Reinhartt. He helped complete the redevelopment program in Chervonstad and continued to represent Alfheim in the Uldarash High Council. Relations between the states in the High Council would grow more and more hostile towards each other as Alfheim and Montroig had decided that, if they could not leave Uldarash, they would create and Uldarash they liked being in. Delta played a significant role in backing the reforms desired. This stance would lead to the adoption of a new constitution of Uldarash but would also sow the seeds for its eventual collapse.

In the next Alfheimi election cycle, Delta ran as Minister of Infrastructure and won. During his term, Delta worked with his vice-minister and several others in Haven to build an extensive ice highway network spanning the continent. This effort made Chervonstad one of the main transport hubs, connecting to various cities and lines. He also built the Riverside Hotel during this time, one that would eventually house the Royal Family of Schwanstein when they were displaced from their home.

Transition to Hearthstone
Delta gradually became more and more worried about the direction that the Republic of Alfheim was going. During his term as Minister of Infrastructure, he witnessed multiple acts of tyranny and imperialism that members of the Alfheim government had committed. Delta, angry by this change in direction consulted with PM Vic van Barcht and Delta's best friend Reinhartt about the issues of Alfheim and the new changes that were being proposed. Delta noticed that Alfheim had become blinded by the past with its rivalry with The Kingdom of Aurora. Refusing to make any connections with the country and purposely antagonizing Aurora through the "Rexhold incident" after the collapse of Chevkri. As a result Delta with the help of Reinhartt left to reside in Hearthstone Yuldai. Away from the constant stress that came from what Delta saw as a "corrupted Alfheim".

As Delta settled into the Hearthstone community he was greeted by multiple kind-hearted citizens who were eager to help him set up in Hearthstone. Delta's mother Ashan Joan K. B. Bolodrav offered the prince the title of "Vendi" meaning a governor of a Ziemian district. Delta eager to please his parents who has been so kind to him agreed to his mother's offer. Becoming the Vendi of Wolfstone (the name of Delta's new Lycan populated district). With encouragement from Reinhartt, Delta soon took on the addition role of Minister of Culture or "Curator" and began working on another play.

The Lirgal Incident
After the collapse of the Union of Haven, Its ex-sentinel Vic van Barcht move to the Lunar City-state of Lirgal. In order for Delta to remain close relations with his friend he applied for citizenship in the Country. However, Delta was met with a barrage of racial slurs for being a Vulpur Lycan by Lirgal's leader Aldara Ellan being called a "doggy" and a house pet. Another immigration officer was then pulled in and exclaimed that Delta would should and create a mess in Lirgal because Delta would "shed". It wasn't until Delta's ex-loyalist friend Thayff witnessed the scene and forced Aldara and Shae to grant Delta citizenship. However, not without sticking a tag of Delta saying "shib of lirgal". Delta in tears boated back to Hearthstone. The captain was a young Vulpur boy named "Courage". Courage showed Delta a poster showing the Vulpur God Vuldeus. Suddenly, the poster lit up revealing the image of the God standing in front of him. Vuldeus gave Delta pride to be a Vulpur Lycan and soon Delta became a follower of Vuldeus.
