Serbanstein

Serbanstein is a player of ambiguous origins who currently travels the land of Eldham, meeting new people, creating connections and slowly attempting to build influence and material wealth. He is most well known for his vague talks of experiments that "can change the face of Eldham". What this means is currently anyone's guess. Funded by an unknown entity, he is often seen performing large or unusual deals with other inhabitants of Eldham, such as acquiring inordinate amounts of food, rare items, advanced equipment and on one occasion even offering to outbid a significant chunk of a nation's territory.

Origins
The only known aspect of his origins is that he used to fend for himself in "anarchy" servers, ruled by dark unstable magics, which eventually consumed the worlds so he moved on to the next. This explains the nomadic choice and gives credence to the rumor that he carries most of his valuables and wealth on him.

Political involvement
Serbanstein's involvement in Eldham's geopolitics and economy seem to revolve around obtaining land to use as sites for his experiments.

Rodinnbrok vs Majestia
His first publicly known intervention was in the Rodinnbrok vs Majestia war, where he assisted Rodinnbrok's forces by funding the military personnel's armory and brewing a vast selection of tactical potions, in exchange for ownership of the settlement for experiments. Despite severely lacking direct combat skills on his own, he was able to single handedly siege the invading Majestian settlement using his wide variety of potions, tools and terrain traversal techniques making the inhabitants think they were dealing with a much larger force. By the time the first battle ensued, the settlement had been abandoned by its inhabitants, leaving only him, a few Rodinnbrok soldiers and the bandit scavengers, who left after killing most of the soldiers and not finding anything of value. Serbanstein won the battle by hiding and waiting out the bandits.

USSE citizenship
Despite being a self-declared nomad, Serbanstein has recently acquired USSE citizenship, following which his public sightings have drastically reduced.

Experiments
Not much is currently known about the nature of the experiments Serbanstein mentioned, but one of the known conditions for an experiment site is that it isn't populated and that sufficient room is provided. The reason for these is unknown.

Arrest
Serbanstein was apprehended by the Council of Spawn on the 18th of July 2021 for suspected money laundering from illicit operations and has been in custody since.
