Alfred I

(Buck) is a Welsh player on the MC server, Stoneworks. He used to play Rathnir as his main, but has since started playing Eldham full time. He owns queue bypass and bought it on his first day, because he struggles with the concept of money. He was known to be the most attractive player on all of Stoneworks.

Early Years
Alfred I of Cymru originated from the lower sector of Viodoxia, in the continent of Cymru. He lived there for his childhood until the purple insurrection, where he left for the midlands, settling with a group of warriors and touring their ancient cities, gaining knowledge and an interest for architecture. Although he was no longer an official citizen of any Cymric nation, he would merge his Clan-name with his heritage, creating the house of Vaha-Cymru. He would also adopt his nickname, Buck, as his first name.

Career in Eldham
Buck travelled to Eldham to find a new life, free from his past experiences. In doing so, he would find himself marooned on a desert island in the continent of Leifmyrr. Stranded and with low supplies, he found help in the form of a Barbossan pirate, EarlGreyTea.

In return for his assistance, Buck repaired the houses on EarlGreyTea's land, which would become the foundation for the Black Isles. With his experience in building and mining, Buck found himself becoming a key member of the Black Isles crew, forming a friendship with members Trelanganack, Tea and GuardReady.

His work would get him a position as Co-Governor of the new capital, Porthnegys. Buck would contribute to the creation of what is now the Library of Porthnegys, the Grand Castle and Porthnegys Square.

The Black Isles had been acting as a meeting point for the old Barbossan leaders, Sarlician Silver Dawn and Philly. This would come to an end once the old Barbossan land was reconquered and with it, the Barbossan leadership over the land, allowing for the Black Isles to become an independent state. This was carefully orchestrated between Trelanganack, Buck and Tea (The Triumvirate).

Buck and Trelanganack would take almost complete control of the Black Isles through political reform putting themselves and Tea at the centre of the nation, with control over every decision made, as the "Commodores".

Rise to power and wealth
Buck's next leadership position would come after a valiant service to the now allied nation of Barbossa against the USSE in the "Mald War". During the latter half of the battle, Buck and Trelanganack would escape to the Black Isles region and establish a new town called "Kragmen" (formerly towncape).

Buck would be officially appointed Governor of the land and would establish a great wall to defend against the perceived Nexus attack, as the land was traditionally theirs. No true attack would ever take place.

Meanwhile, positive diplomacy between The Black Isles, Netvia and Eldercrest would result in the official formation of the "Morladron Mysterlu" or Morladron for short. This new nation was immediately put into a place of panic, as Buck would be given an ultimatum to hand Kragmen over to Nexus to which a long negotiation spanning days would result in a co-governance policy, where the city became a "Dual Administration Zone".While mining in the Kragmen region, Buck would hit a large cave filled with Gold and Diamonds, allowing for him to purchase better materials to harvest precious Netherite from the Nether.

Civil War and Socialism
Due to the sorry state of Morladron after the hand over of Kragmen and later Fosdinas, civil order had lead to mass panic and a potential war scenario. The size of Morladron meant that it would not be able to cope with war against a major power, and a dispute in the Morladron Packet newspaper would be the tipping point.

With this, Buck decided that in order to control the population and keep a strong national reserve, his hidden legislation entitled "Buck's Law" would have to come into effect. The nation would be swept with an intense crackdown on rights, trading, communication and free speech. The National Army was being prepared to put down resistance when a mutiny under Trelanganack and Tea caused a political schism and declaration of civil war. Buck was quick to establish the "People's Republic of Morladron" to restore order and establish an agrarian socialist utopia out of the weakened nation, while the "Morladronian Civilian's Opposition" with support from Governor Lincis' "PSF" would take control of the military.

The Civil War would last exactly 3 days, and it would see the establishment of the Morladron Repoblek under the joint MCO and PSF, while Buck went into exile in the jungles of Roddinbrok. His mission to establish a socialist nation through civil war would grant him stardom as a Revolutionary and true Ideologist.

Valrussia/Britovia
After the fall of the superpower nation, Uraka, Buck saw to establish a new nation for himself in the old northern steppe. He would find another player, StickmanPrime, and together they would establish the nation of Valrussia from the old city dubbed Britovia. They would immediately be met with issues regarding claims and Buck would go on an extended holiday, leaving Stickman to take control of Valrussian affairs. Buck would return to the nation being accepted into the COG in order to protect itself from the menacing Druk Yul claimants. He would applaud the political move as he saw it to be a "Necessary development to protect the identity of Britovia".Britovia.png

On the 10th of April, Buck would return and re-establish Valrussia into the Britovian Order.

Dissolution of Valrussia/Return to Morladron
After a short break from politics, Buck decided to dissolve the Britovian Order, this was due to a large amount of pressure from Goonguard, who now claimed to own the region themselves.

Buck would carry on theorising and growing a small amount of wealth alone in the north when he would receive a message from Trelanganack, who was trying to win support to become the next President of Morladron. He promised to allow Buck to be the Vice-President if he supported him.

He would agree, and due to a lack of activity, openness and developments in the nation, Pawnch would be impeached and removed from office by the Governors of Morladron, instigating a private Governor election in which TrelangaBuck would win the vote.

Term as Islewydh
The first thing that Trelanganack and Buck would implement is the "Five Day Reforms" in which many parts of the Repoblek were altered to allow for a secure future as a new "full democracy". Buck's major contributions would be in the creation of a strong constitution, introduction of a policy of internationalism and heavy economic reforms. He would also advocate for further democratisation in the country.

These "Five Day Reforms" would boost the initial support of the TrelangaBuck administration, with many people happy to see progression in the state for the first time in months.

Buck would also run another national census, oversee construction of the Morladron Economic Exchange, the Morladron Government Building and the Grand Museum. His work as a speech writer and as a fair and friendly face would boost his support among citizens of the country.

One of Buck's biggest roles was during the second Alsaryan dispute and elections, in which he would produce the "Alsaryan Dossier" which would eventually lead to a civil war in the country, with Stickman being trialled alongside Baz and others for corruption and bribery.

This civil war would also lead to the war against Sylvania, as Sylvanian forces and leadership attempted to use Stickman to install a puppet government in Morladron. This would also be the time that Trelanganack would resign as Pennsevik to run for Menyster elections.

Term as Pennsevik in the "Short Government"
Buck would take the mantle of wartime leader for the interim 9 days between resignation and new elections. These 9 days would be influential as it would occur during the first battle of the Sylvanian war.

The first battle of Vermillion would be a horrific defeat for the Morladronian people, with many killed in a massacre in Alsarya. Buck would speak with outside advisor Healy about the situation in which he would be inspired by words of support from the outside statesman.

The remaining 4 days would see the country enter a state of total mobilisation, in which Buck would make great speeches to the people, and would initiate plans to expand the industrial capabilities of the country, leading to the greatest production ever seen in the country.

Ill health and death
On the 12th of September 2022, it was announced that Buck would return from Eldham to his home in Cymru amid ill health. 5 days later on the 17th, Alfred “Buck” Vaha would pass away from heart failure at the age of 120.
