Ceannard Cogaidh V

(Quick note:This page is outdated by a lot)

Ceannard Cogaidh V, also referred to as CrashSyndicate, Ceannard of Arkhova, or just simply Ceannard, is a Soldier, Politician, former Magistrate of the UBSR district of Arkhova, Governor of the People's Republic of Luscovy, Interim Khadir of Tovarisha, and current Hakim of Arkhova. He was born on the 4th of Teas-Soilleir 376 T.C. in the former Alri-Myran Republic. He lived much of his early life as a farmhand at his family's ranch in Cirdan city. In 389 T.C., when Ceannard was thirteen, the Alri-Myran Republic was invaded by the Holodian Empire. When Ceannard turned fifteen he was drafted into a militia of Alri-Myran Nationalists fighting against the invading Holodian Empire. He would fight for eight years before finally fleeing to Rathnir. The war was a deeply scarring event in Ceannard's life and would be the main contributor to his later alcoholism.

Childhood
At the time of Ceannard V's birth the Cogaidh family was in a poor condition, considering their history as nobles. Ceannard's father, Árach Cogaidh, was a poor rancher in the Alri-Myran city of Cirdan. Árach's work only paid him enough for his family to eat, and unnecessary goods were seldom found in the Cogaidh ranch.

Ceannard's childhood was not very interesting. He spent the majority of his days helping his father on his ranch and the last few hours he had left after a hard day's work were spent merely wandering around his town, walking through the woods, conversing with his few neighbors, and attending the local Talamh church.

Teen Years (and the Holodian Invasion)
Ceannard's teen years began the same time as the Holodian Empire, a large nation controlling the Northeast region of Myra, began their military campaign to conquer Ceannard's home of the Alri-Myran republic. His family would huddle together and read the newspapers as soon as it arrived at their house. The Cogaidh family were proud Alri-Myran nationalists and all wanted to fight in the war, but no one was of the right age to be doing the republic any favors; however, this soon changed as when Ceannard turned fifteen the local Cirdan County militia drafted him into their service.

Service in the Alrimar-Holodian War
After a crushing defeat at the Battle of Hogsfield Ceannard's brigade was forced to surrender and all but four soldiers (including Ceannard), were captured by the Holodians. Ceannard, and the other three soldiers who were able to escape, were forced to live in the mountains and bandit nearby villages for supplies. During this period, which lasted five years, Ceannard and the other soldiers were placed on Holodia's "Most Wanted" list, each with an individual bounty of two million.

Current Day
When Ceannard arrived in Rathnir life became somewhat unfulfilling. The transition from the high-adrenaline life of a mountain-bandit to a desk-sitting politician didn't sit right with Ceannard. This, combined with him seeing it as a good way to enforce his socialist beliefs, led him to become a bandit, where he could steal from the rich elites and provide for the less fortunate of society.
