Aaron Olea-Lhamaj'i, commonly known as Aaron, is a citizen of Miklagard in Helsia and the former and final president of the Confederation of Garxijos. He holds the position of senator within the Republic of Helsia, which was a state within CoG before the Confederation was dissolved on the 22th of January 2022.

Early life
Aaron was born in Helsia. His father was a soldier in the Helsian military and his mother was a librarian. Aaron's father died while Aaron was young when the Empire of Ravenguard invaded and conquered Helsia. Due to this he was mainly raised by his mother. Due to his mother's profession, Aaron became very interested with literature, especially history and law. This led to Aaron developing an undying love for finding out about the history and customs of the people of Eldham. After his mother passed away due to illness, Aaron started wandering around Helsia and the CoG to find out as much as possible about the history, customs and laws of the region and paid little attention to other matters.

Joining Miklagard and getting involved with state matters.
In early December of 2021, Aaron met Nomissimon10 while travelling around Helsia and they quickly became friends. Aaron decided to join Simon in his and TheNordicBear's newly founded city of Miklagard (Eldham). After Simon became one of the elected kings of Helsia, he decided to appoint Aaron as a diplomat  and later council member for Helsia due to his extensive knowledge of Helsian and CoG law. Aaron represented Helsia in muliple deals within the Confederation of Garxijos, the most notable of which being the negotiations for the return of the area known as Caisteal, which was unlawfully given away by a rogue Helsian king. After becoming a council member he met HungrySlime, a Helsian council member and former king, who shared his special archaeology skills with Aaron. This lead to Aaron adventuring all over Eldham in search of knowledge, but also riches. This lead to Aaron bringing much wealth to himself and Helsia.

Getting involved in CoG
When Aaron decided to get involved in affairs within CoG, he was at first met with dismissive attitudes, due to him not having been a part of CoG politics for long. Some people also responded negatively to Aaron pointing out issues within the CoG laws. However, Aaron's knowledge was recognised by the then minister of diplomacy buoyo, who appointed him and Maleklut, the then supreme justice of Helsia, to work on a new justice system for CoG due to the inneficiency of the existing justice system. Aaron also participated in negotiation to unite the then CoG states of Helsia and Aionios into one political union, but these talks broke down due to disagreements about the nature of the union and the fact that the Aionian governor had been bribed by a notable opponent of Helsia to not make any treaties with them. During late December Aaron decided to try to run for president of CoG to work on multiple reforms to improve the legal system and economy. However this campaign was ended after Aaron was informed that he was not eligible to run for president due to an obscure vote which had not been included in the constitution and he withdrew his campaign. He was however approached by Buoyo, the president elect, to become his vice president for the January 2022 term. Aaron accepted and was confirmed as vice president on the 3rd of January.

The January upheaval and rise to power
On the 9th of January, Imperator Neo Aurelian of the Uraki Imperium demanded the submission of the North Eastern nations of CoG, Rodinnbrok, Yunria and Katolis, causing the The January Upheaval. When president Buoyo held a press conference where he advocated for conceding to Neo's demands in exchange for money for the development of CoG, Aaron, disgusted, threatened to resign his position as vice president if the CoG was to submit without a fight. Due to this Aaron also reached out to the Great Coalition to coordinate the coming war on behalf of CoG. After Neo limited his ambitions to only take parts of Rodinnbrok and then suddenly declared that he was attacking Garxeto instead, Buoyo, thinking that the CoG was lost, decided to resign and retire. Aaron became the president of CoG on the 13th of January and swore that CoG would never surrender. The war never came to be as Neo called it off on the 14th due to him being cured of his expansionist madness. Aaron decided to appoint SerfBort as his vice president, a decision which would haunt him in the future.

The civil war and collapse of the CoG
After Helsia declard war on the fellow CoG state of Nueva Trinidad, Aaron refused to get involved due to a conflict of interest and thus gave permission to mediate the crisis to vice president SerfBort and interior minister Nubnub. Aaron also refused to have the CoG military get involved in the war due to him not having the authority to do so. This caused an outrage withing CoG and soon an impeachment vote was put up against Aaron. The vote did not reach a 2/3 majority and thus failed. Before the vote was finished however, SerfBort, Leg ham and other CoG notables, with assistance from foreign powers such as the Confederation of Anarchist Communes , decided to launch a socialist revolution in the CoG to remove the supposed Helsian control of the CoG government. One of the leaders of the revolution also stated that one of the goals of the revolution was to "cut Helsia down to size" The revolutionaries formed a self-proclaimed Socialist Provisional Government or SPG and claimed to have occupied both Garxeto and Miklagard. Aaron, after waking up incredibly confused, denounced the attempted coup and started gathering loyal forces to fight the rebels in a decisive engagement. This never came to be however as the self-appointed general-secretary of the SPG SerfBort, along with then governor of Garxijos Buoyo, decided to sign over the entirety of CoG to the Uraki Imperium. Aaron refused to recognise the deal and still acted as if CoG still existed, but all states that did not want to join Uraka except Helsia promtly seceeded from the Confederation. After Helsia was the last remaining state and a vote was put up to dismantle the CoG, Aaron declared the official dissolution of the CoG, making Helsia once more an independent nation.

Aftermath
After being betrayed by so many of his trusted government members, Aaron developed a deep paranoia about possible socialist rebels lurking around Helsia and the newly independent CoG states. Even after the SPG stopped existing Aaron still looks to hunt down every last person even remotely connected to the coup against him. Aaron, crazed, began patrolling the Helsian countryside, killing anyone he suspected of being an SPG sympathiser or supporter. While Aaron regretted his rampage afterwards, it was only because he failed to kill anyone who was actually involved with the coup. The lives of innocents mattered little to him, only revenge. Aaron also swore an oath to get revenge on the USSE, due to them having recognised the SPG as the legitimate government of the CoG. Aaron also developed a deep respect for The Pirate State of Barbossa due to their aid during the civil war and his interest in their pirate ways and decided to apply for Barbossan citizenship and to make an alliance between Barbossa and Helsia. Due to the aforementioned things, Aaron decided to get himself and other Helsian volunteers involved with Barbossa' s holy war upon the USSE. Aaron later took part in the battle of Al-Basaad, killing 4 USSE soldiers. Aaron became more and more invested in the pirate culture of the Barbossan state and decided to enlist as a sailor in the black fleet to pillage the lands of the people Aaron believes to be responsible for the SPG coup, which Aaron interprets rather broadly. Aaron had also stopped bringing in treasure by excavating abandoned ruins and believed that raiding and pillaging would bring more prosperity to himself, Helsia and Barbossa. To further cement his connection to Barbossa, Aaron was also adopted by notable pirate Rico, known as JoeppieDePoeppie into his family of Olea-Lhamaj'i. His new adopted father also taught him some of his pirating secrets.

Character
Aaron is a firm believer in democracy and rule of law. He is also a avid Helsian nationalist, working tirelessly to improve its geopolitical position. After the collapse of the CoG, Aaron has become deeply paranoid and shows a deep dislike of any socialist nations and policies. He is also thrown into a fit of violent rage whenever the SPG coup is mentioned within his hearing, which contradicts with his normal rational behaviour.. Aaron is also rather greedy and is always looking to make a profit, whether it be through mining, scavenging or outright theft.
