ConDud

ConDud was a former politician and citizen of the UBSR, and once affliliated with Tovarisha until the IAU collapsed. He then affiliated with La Confederación Nacional de Burgamere as an advocate for capitalism. He would slowly gain more political traction until a stroke caused by a Brain Tumor. His position as family leader over Clan Dud would be taken by Sherman. This was followed by his brother GhurDud's return.

Early life
ConDud was born to parents who had fled from Noxnorr to flee from a political scandal, he was raised in a small apartment in the old mining town of Burgamere in Sparwood. Where he studied Law and Political Sciences using books from other towns. He was taught Noxism but found no places to worship. His family eventually moved to Duragrad after the Great Cataclysm when ConDud was 15. Clan Dud would betroth ConDud to Karathin of Clan Kark to regain trust from the other Clans of the Order of the Working Clans of Helmia.

When ConDud was 19 years of age, Clan Kark decided against the Betrothal but never formally ended it. ConDud's Sister PesDud would go missing a few months later under suspicious circumstances, which were blamed on Duragrad Law Enforcement. This was due to PesDud's highly anti-communist ideals, which made Clan Dud suspect it was the UBSR try to silence her.

When ConDud was 22, his brother (At age 39) GhurDud would move away to Alteniquia to serve as a mercenary. GhurDud sent frequent letters until after 4 years, his final letter stating "I find it no longer necessary to badger you all further, I have moved on and you should all as well" disease would spread through his family, causing his elderly father and mother to die, and ConDud to suffer for a short period of time. Eventually he stumbled upon a couple traders from Certaria, and was happily let into the city.

Life in Certaria
ConDud spent most of his early time in Certaria saving up money to purchase a corner house, eventually buying it. He helped with future build projects and plans for the city, and at one point lived alongside PatatoSald. He eventually founded the Direct Worker's Party alongside a few other Certarians, with plans to gain Certaria political power, and increase infrastructure in the south. During this time ConDud was a semi-popular propaganda maker

Pilgrimage
ConDud left for a pilgrimage, but returned to see that Certaria had been burned and sacked by the hands. ConDud fleed to the woods of Sparwood, staking out. He got word that the nation of Tovarisha has formed, but at first didn't go due to his Noxist beliefs. But as his beliefs faded, he joined the nation.

Seruhgrad and Duragrad life
In an attempt to revive Certarian culture ConDud would form the town of Seruhgrad, but other settlers would abandon the project leading to its abandonment,

ConDud would then move to Duragrad where he was a recruiter for the city, as well ran a small farm west of the city. Before moving into Duragrad fully, seeing it's mines as a way to earn a better profit, (As all food in the city was free) Which he was able to make a lot of money fast after discovering the Boom Caves, a huge cave system spanning Duragrad, land surrounding it, parts of Dixie (Which had been explored prior) and many unexplored parts that go in almost every direction.

He later would join the Tovarishan military to join the war against Mezur's uprising. He would engage in taking the bridge. After this war ConDud would take a break from mining, as the Boom Caves were no longer making a large profit. He would construct a "Home Depot" a partly orange building that as of now is unused. He would have an encounter with Mezur, who had illegally entered Duragrad. Shortly after this he would go back to recruiting, getting Idaho-Finnegan into Duragrad. Allowing his Guild into Duragrad, although he was skeptical at first.

Vice-Mayor Campaign
ConDud would run for Vice Mayor of Duragrad, his plans being to create events such as festivals to attract attention to Duragrad, therefore being more people wanting to join, creating more incentives for Recruiters, and expanding museums and libraries.

He would win this election in a landslide with 7 votes as apposed to the 3 and 1 votes the other candidates got.

Vice Mayor of Duragrad
Early on he would discuss the formation of a mining company/guild in Duragrad, as well as investigate the goings on of the Roving Guild which had been allowed in, taking shelter in the Duragrad mines, much to ConDud's dislike.

He would be invited to a meeting discussing certain Duragrad citizens (Including the mayor) wanting reforms in the IAU, ConDud found the reasons for reform as not good reasons, so he would publicly denounce the wanted reforms. He would later open the Mining Company, allowing miners to do jobs for payment

Later people would organize an official protest, ConDud feared they would revolt, so he would make a public statement telling people to please stop these protests, the mayor of Duragrad would tell him he was wrong, and ConDud began to fear losing his position in office. The main fear of losing his position was the fact that Duragrad people may go out of control.

Mayor of Duragrad
ConDud would run for Chief of La Confederación Nacional de Burgamere, but would lose in a landslide against Mayor of Duragrad, Anonymus. Anonymus would resign when he was elected Chief, leaving ConDud as Mayor of Duragrad.

When the Confederation's constitution was released, ConDud openly criticized the aspect of the one party state. Revealing in his rants his anti-socialist beliefs. ConDud was met with no support from those around him, but he continued to hold his capitalist ideas. When elections rolled around he supported candidate Ceannard Cogaidh V

During this time ConDud would get into multiple arguments over the idea of the party and capitalism. Through this he would state that the Vanguard Party was simply a tactic to hold dictatorship like powers over the people, as the idea of the party forced all politicians to follow the same beliefs which he said negated the purpose of public elections. In this time he would also form the Duragrad Post, which would include anti-party opinion sections. The Defense Minister Oot at the time would be angered as he was mentioned and described as an idiot revolutionary, and wrote this to ConDud: "Bruh oot himself? No it was me blight Lumos and anon don’t blame this just on me you viodoxian loving pig, explain yourself" ConDud responded "I Stand by the notion that Oot is a blatantly overly prideful trigger happy idiot in his politics and foreign policy. We've seen this with the dreaded "Black Rose" which attempted to fix the non-existent problem of "Viodoxan Oppression" which as we've all seen was practically non-existent. With the Archon barely interfering with Tovarishan affairs! Your only valid complaint was the LACK of support from Viodoxa. Oot has shown he could very easily get a group of people to turn on Ecclesia, and for our sakes should for the remainder of his time in political office STAY IN HIS LANE AND NOT SPOUT ANY OF HIS DULL-WITTED IDEAS AND OVER PRIDE." both of these were publicly said.

Later ConDud would appoint General_ich as his vice mayor after seeing him and a group of workers would help build Duragrad. Ich was seen as a good leader and some including former mayor Anonymus calling for ConDud to resign and have Ich as the new Mayor of Duragrad.

Overall ConDud's mayorship was poor. Most things he attempted to do failed, and other projects were cancelled after his death.

Decline in Health & Death
At age 61, ConDud would issue the following statement to the citizens of Duragrad: "You all are the first to hear this, but I come with the news that I have been Diagnosed with a Brain Tumor. The same kind that many in Clan Dud have had, I am expected to die within months. I will release updates as much as I can, as for now my symptoms are minor and I should be able to rule effectively. When I do die I wish to grant my mayorship to General ich as he seems to be the man of the people and I see it fair that he was next in line. Good day and I am to hope that my legacy is kept in tact. I have contacted my brother GhurDud, but seeing as he is missing somewhere in Alteniquia it was likely his home was conquered by the Certarian Empire. It is likely Clan Dud will come to an end. Burgameria Rodyokta!"

ConDud and his personal doctor would travel to an undisclosed location to attend a speech. During which ConDud would suffer a severe stroke, causing him to collapse. He would be rushed to a nearby hospital where he would officially be pronounced dead. The mayorship of Duragrad would be transferred to General Ich

Response to Death & Event Afterward
ConDud's death would be met with an outpour of support from Burgamerians. Even those that apposed him politically would commend him for his dedication to the people. With him being commended in a public mourning announcement as a "Burgamerian Legend" black armbands would be worn in remembrance of ConDud in the week following his death. Soon after his death Burgamere would conquer Certaria, meaning ConDud died shortly before finally being able to see his old home again, Sherman would be adopted to Clan Dud after his death. His age 42 portrait would be posted in the Duragrad townhall. Notes from ConDud's desk would slowly be collected and released to the public.

Friendships
ConDud was friendly with multiple people, such as Assassintim07 who funded his city building efforts, as well as supplied him with gear prior to a war. ConDud was good friends with multiple UBSR politicians, and Certarian citizens. He has also made friendly relations with Duragrad citizens, and was once friends with Oot and Anonymus, but relations soured over major political disagreements in the Confederation. ConDud was friends with ElvisDr4k3n, who both agree on many political issues.

Grudges
ConDud really only holds a grudge against The Hands, as they were responsible for invading his former home, and was once friends with Oot and Anonymus, but relations soured over major political disagreements in the Confederation.
