Governor Bank-Tukker (1gov)

Governor Bankington is a Mimic banker, economist, and businessman, who serves as the current Master of Coin of the Chevkri Republic, as well as Chief Financial Officer of the Graham and Bankington Banking Company. He was formed on May 16th, 2021 in the Ardat Mosul bank building, though he had technically existed prior to that in the spirit of the chests residing in the bank itself. Bankington currently resides in Russantia, Chevkri.

Pre-mimic life
"Looking back, the dynamic we had was completely unique. There weren't really any teachers or students or anything. While we each had our own consciousness, information was shared freely, like we were just different parts of the same mind."

-Bankington on his pre-sentient existence

Standard mimics are able to take advantage of their physical forms through long periods of solitude, in which they spend much of their time practicing more complex thought processes, philosophical concepts, and overall self-improvement, after which they are capable of gaining full control of their body and truly experiencing the outside world.

Bankington's situation was quite different, however. Due to the amount of chests in the Ardat Mosul bank building, and the close proximity to which they were with one another, they were able to develop a hivemind of sorts. Through this hivemind, they were capable of communicating with one another to benefit and accelerate the growth of the group as a whole. Owing to this fact, actual philosophical discussion took place between chest consciousnesses. This allowed for the group's understanding of its external and internal world to dwarf that of standard chests. The hivemind managed to establish financial and economic concepts that the world hadn't seen before, but they had no way to make them known to Rathnir, unless they could breach the walls that confined them to their mental prison.

Not much else is known about how Governor Bankington ultimately came to be. The story only had a single living eye-witness and, as a result of Bankington's poor memory, the rest may never be fully understood. Bankington claims the hivemind eventually managed to combine their consciousnesses to form a being that was able to interact with the physical world. Through that event, he was created and is now able to spread his financial knowledge to very corners of Rathnir.

Mosulia Partnership
Following Governor Bankington's initial conception, he was immediately drawn to work with Dalatra Mosulia who was, in a sense, his indirect creator. With their shared interest in economic success, the two quickly formed a partnership to reform the Mosulia Bank and Stock Market. After the struggles the bank had faced under Mosulia's authority, the project had been left to sit abandoned for months. Thus, believing he was created to unite the world through finance, Bankington figured this would be the perfect place to start.

The newly formed, and renamed, Mosulia Banking Corporation has very promising beginnings; funds for the project were supplied through Bankington's own mining efforts along with aid from Axyr, the Caliph of Ardat at the time. Advertising itself as a simple solution to loans and banking in general, the bank grew an unexpected following during it's early moments, with several loans taken out and five accounts opened within its first couple weeks. Sadly, this initial success lasted but a short moment in the Mosulia Bank's long and difficult life. Bankington's youth and naivety led to overlooked security issues with the way loans were given to customers. 90% of the bank's balance was given as a loan to one of its members who had no interest in paying it back. And with no way to enforce loan repayment, the bank was forced shut down shortly after, just two months after its reopening.

Recession
Despite the closure of the Mosulia Banking Corporation, Governor Bankington was still welcome to live in Ardat. Dalatra Mosulia was aware of the problems the bank had ran into in the past and held no grudges against an inexperienced banker in a difficult industry. Regardless, Bankington felt he had failed in his one life purpose, the reason he believed he had even been created in the first place: finance. With the failure of the Mosulia Bank, Bankington had been unable to fulfill his entire meaning for being. As a way to clear his mind, Bankington left the continent entirely and went to live in a ghost town in Northeastern Haven. Governor had always been more focused on his work than his living conditions, and thus never had a proper home while living in Ardat. Still, the barrenness of the vacant desert town was a stark contrast to the opulent, colorful terracotta environment he was accustomed to.
