RedFireRex

RedFireRex, born originally as Rex Fernand, is a Rathnir-native from the Huitca Federation, and the former leader of the failed Huitca Imperium. How he arrived in Rathnir, or where he was born is currently unknown, but through his persistence and lust for expansion and power, he has made a big impact on the world of Rathnir. After wandering across Rathnir looking for a home, Rex eventually traveled north from Haven and stumbled across Tlahatl, which was a city he took to his liking. After meeting with Tlatoani Infinick, RedFireRex joined Tlahatl on November 30th, 2020.

All was well until RedFireRex disagreed with Tlatoani Infinick about the Huitca Constitution, and as a result organized a Coup to overthrow Tlatoani Infinick. The Coup, known as the Huitca Coup, was successful, and after Tlatoani Infinick went into exile, Rex declared himself the Eternal-Tlatoani (Emperor) of the new Huitca Imperium. Before adapting back into life in the Federation, he was known to some as a leader of an illegal breakaway state from the Huitca Federation. To others, a hero who gave the Huitcan people the good and prosperous nation they deserved.

After he died after the Battle for Tlahatl, he was reborn as Toronto Dougwald. Toronto, unlike Rex, is a very different person as he is against the Imperium, and is instead looking to repay his debt to the Federation and to the Goddess Cualitzin. Despite his hatred for the Imperium, there is still a calling from within that tells him to embrace who he once was, and he tries as hard as he can to fight it.

Rex Fernand
Rex is born. Somewhere.

Rex wanders the land looking for a new home. He visited many nations to learn about their cultures at this point. In this time, he visited Iceland, Sorgliste, Ardat, Uldardash, Yimmu-Audal, Escharien, and many more places until he stumbles across the city of Tlahatl.

RedFireRex joined the Huitca Federation on November 30th, 2020, and quickly began to help shape the nation.

On December 1st, 2020, RedFireRex helped Jane the Bane build the wall between the Escharian colony of Fernheim, and the rest of the island of Ocotlan.

RedFireRex witnessed the 2nd Founding Day celebration on December 3rd, 2020.

RedFireRex was attacked in the Federation's capital of Tlahatl during The Raids on Tepetl and Tlahatl, where the bandit GreenTomato5 tried to ransack the Federation's capital on December 7th, 2020.

The Rise of the Imperium
Between Early December, and up to the 11th, Negotiations took place amongst the Grand Assembly of the Huitca Federation to finalize a document that would be the nations constitution. RedFireRex disagreed with Tlatoani Infinick about the Huitca Constitution. He hated the election process, and believed that nothing would get done with the Grand Assembly, and as a result organized a Coup to overthrow Infinick, the Tlatoani.

On December 11th, 2020, after the decline of the Ryzan Confederac y, RedFireRex participated in the Scramble for Ryzan, where he negotiated with the Ryzani leader, CanadianToss to annex a peninsula that was once part of the Ryzani Province of Alum. Rex helped bring this region into the nation by founding the city of Chichiltik.

Later that day, The Coup, known as the Huitca Coup, was successful. He kicked Tlatoani Infinick out of Tlahatl, where he went into exile in a bunker in an undisclosed location. Soon after, Rex declared himself the Eternal-Tlatoani (Emperor) of the new Huitca Imperium. His goals were to expand his empire, and to conquer Western Rathnir and assimilate everyone to become Huitcan. He wished to eventually challenge the powers to the east, as he believed that the eastern Empires have too much control over Rathnir politics, and wished to eliminate them. Once raiders invaded Tlahatl, he moved the capital to the New Capital of Chichiltik.

The Battle
The Tlatoani-in-exile, Infinick, challenged RedFireRex to a duel at 4:00 PM EST on December 12th 2020 while on Apollo Radio, but this time was pushed back to 7:00 PM EST due to IRL scheduling Issues.

The deal was, if RedFireRex won, Huitca Imperium would remain, and Rex would attempt to invade the rest of Western Rathnir to expand his thirst for land and power, and if the Tlatoani won, the Imperium would be disbanded, and Rex would surrender and rejoin the Federation.

When 7:00 rolled around, RedFireRex, surrounded by both supporters and observers, waited patiently for Infinick to arrive in Tlahatl from Waahi with his Army. Rex met Infinick on the bridge outside of the city's temple district, and the two of them battled it out to see which Huitca would remain.

In an intense battle that lasted roughly 26 seconds, Tlatoani Infinick came out victorious, slaying Rex and reviving the Federation, and proving to the world that the Federation was the true, and only Huitca.

This battle was for the Soul of the Huitca people, and everyone in the nation changed that day as a result.

As a result of the battle, Rex Fernand was brutally thrown down the stairs of the Tlahatl Temple, and was killed on the way down. Lucky for Rex, however, Cualitzin, the Cardinalist Goddess of North, appeared to Rex in a vision as a beam of light as he layed dead on the floor of the Temple district. Cualitzin, being the Goddess of Life, said that she would allow Rex to be reborn as long as he declared Eternal Loyalty to the Gods and to the Tlatoani, and if he would prepare to settle a new Huitcan city in Ummarnu in her honour. Rex graciously accepted these terms, and was reborn as a man with the name Toronto Dougwald. Rex is now doing everything he can to remain loyal to the Federation, and to bring new Huitca into the country.

Toronto Dougwald
Toronto was born after Cualitzin gave him a second chance at life. His first memory is emerging from an orb in the Bay between Ocotlan and Zoquiyo, where he quickly swam back to Tlahatl. Once he was got back, he remembered something Cualitzin told him, to create a city in Zoquiyo in her honour.

Despite this, Toronto has an inner demon eating him from the inside. Remnants of Rex Fernand still exist in Toronto, and he's calling him back to the Imperium. Rex's voice echos in Toronto's subconcious. He is always haunting him, and whispering thoughts of his evil past in the back of his head. Toronto dismisses these thoughts, as as a new person he made a promise to Cualitzin to remain Loyal to the Federation, and if that promise is broken, the consequences would be disastrous. He hopes that with time, Rex's evil voice will get out of his head, and he will live a normal life doing what his calling is; beginning a new town on the Federation's Frontier land.

The city of Cualitz was established December 18th 2020, and has since grown to a sizeable settlement that is spreading Huitca Influence across the Ummarnu Coast.

It was around this point in time where Toronto decided he was going to be friends with Herb Dashwell due to his love for the Apollo Radio show, however he doesn't think Herb thinks of him the same way. Despite this, Toronto still gave Herb his Cobbleworks Toaster he got at a VAWR meeting, which now sits on Herb's desk.

Toronto was involved in the Jane the Bane Affair, where Bardonia declared war on the Huitca Federation based on actions and crimes that Jane the Bane had unknowingly committed. Toronto sat in a meeting room in Dorasterrock, the capital of Bardonia, for 4 long hours with Prime Minister Zelorm, and Vickett, where the Huitca and the Bardonians negotiated to prevent a war. During the meeting, Rex Fernand's voice screamed in the back of Toronto's head, begging him to go off on the Bardonian's, and to declare all-out war. Toronto persisted and continued to ignore Rex's lust for bloodshed, however, halfway through the meeting, Toronto almost gave up. He got tired of Rex's lust for war and he considered jumping out the building the meeting was taking place in. Luckily, he persisted and made it through. In the end, the war was prevented, but not without a cost. Jane the Bane's Huitca "Status" was revoked, which led her to renounce her citizenship entirely, as she felt she had been cheated, and didn't feel that the current Huitca Government supported it's citizens in their times of need. She later moved to Carvay, and was sworn in as a Carvaian citizen. That day, the Federation lost one of it's most valuable members.

Toronto, who is a close friend of Jane, obviously was upset about hearing of her departure, but he understands her reasoning. Despite living across the sea from each other, Toronto and Jane remain friends, and allies.
