Garoldi "GarGar" Smegsint

Garoldi Smegsint-Canalopin, but commonly called "GarGar" is currently one of the two kings of Aurica and lives in Centersmeges suburb in Smegsville.

Description
Garoldi Smegsint has a tall and slender figure with the appearance of a man in his middle ages despite being two centuries old. Garoldi sports long dark hair with a beard and a grey complexion to his skin, which is a characteristic feature of the Smegs. He has one green eye and one eye that is missing.

Garoldi has quite the aloof personality, not often taking his responsibilities seriously. He is very impulsive and quick to anger and often the first person to begin a fight. Garoldi is notoriously known as being a raging alcoholic, he is rarely seen without a bottle of his Smegan Absinthe.

Early Drakaes
GarGar was born in the city of Smegsville, a town situated in the South-West Drakaes. He never had much of a relationship with either of his parents, with his mother being just a regular woman from the city, who he was never permitted to meet and his father Walter Smegsint either working hard with the politics of the Regnum Drakaes or off drinking. His true story began on July the 15th, 2021, when he inherited the Smegsland province from his father.

Garoldi had a child, Robert Smegsint (Bertie) with a housemaid of his and just like his father had done before him, accepted him as his heir.

All was calm until the Regnum Drakaes was reformed into the Drakaen Concordat. Ilnur Almirion came to Smegsville asking for the town to produce Rum and other alcoholic drinks as a tribute to the Pirate state of Barbossa, as a result of the Drakaen-Barbossan Diplomatic Crisis. He encouraged his son Bertie to begin brewing the drinks himelf, which would become a tradition among the Smegsint family. The two of them would occasionally travel to other cities within the Concordat such as Varasopolis and Puerto Amarillo to spread their culture. The Smegans would thus get the reputation throughout the Drakesland of being bumbling alcoholics.

The Drakaen Concordat fell into shambles upon the departure of Ilnur and the secession of numerous towns. Smegsville was one of those cities that had gained their independence. GarGar quickly travelled to Abul alongside Chedda Cheese to discuss the state of our independence. It was unilaterally decided that Abul and Smegsville would unite to form the nation of Smegsland. Instantly after the dissolution of the Concordat, Drakaes would see rising tensions between the newly formed Coalition of the bay of peace (later the League of Vircon) which Smegsland was one of the first members of.

War of Drakaen Succession
GarGar was invited to to the negotiations in Nidaros between the coaltion and Jorvick that would eventually brake down and lead to Jorvick declaring war on New Haven, beginning the War of the Drakaen Succession. GarGar immediately set to mobilizing the Smegsland population for war, with people volunteering from both Smegsville and Abul. It was said that before the Battle Of Jorvick GarGar was seen floating in the air, boosting the morale greatly for the troops of the coalition, on this day he was proclaimed the messiah. This would be the first of miracles performed by Garoldi. The battle was a complete and utter disaster. GarGar had encouraged his own men and those of allied nations to charge into suicide. Almost the entire Smegan voluntary army was slaughtered in the battle, Garoldi himself had suffered grave wounds, even losing an eye.

Barbossa, Neo Drakaes, Vircon and Uraka
Only days after the battle GarGar was informed of Barbossa claiming all of the Southern Drakesland. These nations over time would unify as Zie Drakaen Union and later opting to name themselves Neo Drakaes, they would shortly be granted independence from Barbossa, with Ocelton Fairfax as the king and Garoldi as the Prime Minister. because of the Smegslands previous ties with the League of the Bay of peace, they opted to rejoin the League of Vircon as soon as possible. GarGar was approched by Neo Aurelian, with the proposal to join the Empire of Uraka as a vassal, seeing the vulnerabilty of his nation, GarGar and Ocelot felt they had no choice but to accept.

Valreach and the Smegan technological revolution
Soon after Neo Drakaes was incorporated into Valreach, GarGar was a big proponent in the beginning of the Smegan technological revolution he mostly financed the research of Smegan mysticality and the new technologies required to harness it. Garoldi eventually called for the creation of a great ship, draped in the black and gold of the Valrean flag as well as an armada of ships plastered with the smegan banner. He wanted it to be displayed over the pride of the Southern Drakaes, Motu. He would even invent special military strategies which involved flying the airship over enemy defenses and using slow falling potions in order to breach defenses.

The technological progress eventually resulted in an technological revolution of sorts, great strides in improving health with practices such as Smegan absinthe therapy (SAT), agricultural developments such as the wheat tower, weaponry such as the Smegan missiles and primitive tanks. For these strives in technological progress, the Smegan Vareist ideology began to gain more influence as it pronounced Garoldi as the Messiah, responsible for bringing forth the perfect society, and the only one capable of spreading it to the world. The technological revolution caused a great wave of Smegan patriotism and soon Garoldi would have to make a decision during the First Smegan Revolt

First Smegan Revolt
Earlier on, Garoldi had stepped down as the duke of the Smegsland, allowing Max Zuhteus to become the new duke and the Smegsland province was also renamed to 'West Drakaar'. During this time the Smegsland had a major growth in population and development, spurred on by the great increases in health and opportunity. GarGar was immensely proud of his people's successes and yet bitter at Valreach for giving but nothing in return. Garoldi had even personally organized for the wondrous RSS Bertie to be relocated to Motu, and yet still he believed the Smegsland lay neglected. Used for nothing but their resources as well as underrepresented in the government. GarGar was not alone in this sentiment, as he would soon learn. .

Duel of Rannia
Upon the unexpected banditry of a Hirane citizen by a bandit named AgentSIAS from neighbouring Rannia, Max tried and failed to get the Valrean government to do anything about it. Max decided that he would need to take it into his own hands and enlisted GarGar and Bertie to travel with him in order to bring the Rannian to justice. They surprised the Rannian with their presence, AgentSIAS struck at Garoldi but his sword didn't pierce his armour. Garoldi slashed at SIAS, who retreated to his home. The Trio waited outside the home for him to reappear. AgentSIAS sprung out the window, tackling GarGar to the ground. GarGar looked at SIAS, partially decked in Netherite. His life flashed before his eyes as the bandit raised his sword. But before the sword could be brought down, he was saved by Max who knocked SIAS off of him. The three dueled SIAS until Bertie was struck down. Garoldi and Max continued the duel until eventually AgentSIAS was wounded with a stab to the waist by Max. He fled soon after. The three Smegans soon returned home.
