Pakartov von Kessel

Pakartov von Kessel-Ukumari, also known by his username Liark, is a Lausán politician and journalist currently residing in the town of Dinkelburg in the United Socialist States of Eldham.

He has served continuously as Commissioner of Information in the fourth, and now fifth terms of Magerius Ukumari, and is the second Partisan Chair of the Communist Party since 274 TE, succeeding Rosa Ortangon. He is also the son of the late Kineox von Kessel, who was known as the longest serving Commissioner of the USSE. Because of his position as ComInfo, he also heads The Red Star newspaper.

Childhood (234 TE)
Pakartov was born in the small town of Swindongrad near Vostroya in the state of Atoxa, his father -Kineox von Kessel- was the mayor of said town until he decided to leave the town fed up with the constant state of disagreement between city officials. After they left Swindongrad Pakartov had a normal childhood in the safe walls of Vostroya until in 245 TE when his mother died of an unknown disease presumed to be from the unknown fungus that was spreading around the town of Gehenna and Swindongrad, Pakartov was heavily touched by the death of his mother who he viewed as one of the rare persons who understood him without judging him for his "extravagant" personality (and no when I say extravagant personality it isn't a way of saying that he is gay)

Teenage years (246 TE- 252TE)
During his teenage years, Pakartov got himself interested in different topics such as politics, history, science, photography, and journalism seeking to one day like his father become Commissioner of Information and Media. After the death of his mother, he and his father got closer and started to have a healthier relationship which inadvertently led him to dip his toes into journalism and strive to have a career in journalism

Adult years (252TE-Present)
After many years Pakartov grew up and became a fine young man, having somewhat of an education from his father and himself he entered adult life ready to work in his father's commission at first as a simple journalist. At the time everything was good, Pakartov had a job, a good relationship with his father, and was starting to see a young lady called Wntryi Ukumari, until one day when everything went overboard, his father suffering from chronic heart disease and blood pressure problems due to all the stress he had to take in his life either during the revolution, his time as mayor of Swindongrad, or as Commissioner of Information died of a sudden stroke in his home while preparing to go to work, he was found 3 days later right at his doorstep in the hallway, he had Pakartov 's lunch ready since he had forgotten it, he was never able to give it to him. After his father's death, Pakartov was a mess, he finally had a loving father but fate had decided that it was his father's time he was buried with state honors, his funeral was attended by Pakartov, his then-girlfriend Wntryi, Kineox 's friend such as Echo, Zer0mandas and many others, there were a few of his worker's and his career-long colleague Jens Ukumari the editor of the Red Star at the time. After the funeral Pakartov didn't leave his home for 1 and a half weeks only going out of his room to eat and drink, witnesses said that he was "like a grieving zombie" or "an absolute emotional mess" and that he was diminished. After the grieving stage, Pakartov took his father's place as Commissioner of Information, to this day he still holds the position which he defended fiercely many times just like his father would have when he was alive, when the party proposed to transform the Red Star into the party paper, Pakartov fought tooth and nails for it to stay the State's journal free of the party's influence, when the Red Star went inactive Pakartov revived it two times earning him the Chelovek medal and the People's Journalist medal for his many services to the Red Star. After many years as Commissioner of Information Pakartov decided that he didn't want to do that all of his life even though he loved being the Commissioner of Information and Media, he decided to start getting into politics applying to become a CPUSSE member, and after sometime applying to become a member of the Central Committee he then set his sight on the post of Partisan Chair he applied once and lost and then applied again and got elected!

Partisan Chair von Kessel (274 TE-Present)
Following the resignation of Rosa Ortangon from the position of Partisan Chair, Pakartov was among the first to announce their candidacy in the election. Due to the far more simple process of submitting the applications; Pakartov had no set-in-stone campaign, and instead, the election was mainly decided by how well-known the names were. He ran against four other candidates: PSB Officer Leon Anovici-Ukumari, Maksim Kuznyssov, Eilram Serebra, and his brother Æthelfrith. And due to the position of the Partisan CHair being what it is the election went relatively calmly and smoothly. Pakartov was able to win it by a complete landslide with 42% of the vote with the second place going to Eilram, who won 18%.

The day after his victory, Pakartov sent a message to all members of the CPUSSE where he thanked the membership and promised to work on new party lines with the Central Committee and to start preparing party meetings for all members to speak freely and propose new ideas. The lattermost of which came to fruition once he got the Central Committee to vote on holding a Party Congress, the first in decades.

Two years after his inauguration the party also held elections for the new Central Committee, wherein the Young Guard's mandate was renewed upon the elections/re-elections of: Diakyta Vauper, Ren Serebra, David von Kessel-Sarot, Jus Ukumari, and Claudius Linomavich, only one of which being of the Old Guard.
