De Vries

De Vries (IGN: De_Vries) is a senator from the city of Kibbutz in Monterre. Born in Fornost, Uldarash, De Vries moved to Monterre to start a new life when he was in his twenties. A loyal member of Kibbutz, he is one of the longest serving members of the city alongside IamVeryYes. He is best known for the piece 'Ode to Monterre' which some see as the unofficial national anthem of the country.

Early Life

Nyck was born in the grand city of Fornost to an Uldarashi father and a Tortugan mother. He was raised in home M07, in an upper district of the city just outside the museum. He spent many of his younger years thieving to provide for his lower class family. Despite this, little is known of his early childhood despite that he was intelligent and whitty, with a love for music and the arts.

Teenagehood and migration to Sparwood

During his teenagehood, Nyck fell out with his parents after finding out about his involvement with gangs in the city. He spent a few months begging on the streets after being kicked out of his house by his parents before getting an opportunity from a gang of bandits who took him on and taught him to read. After spending time robbing and killing in Uldarash, the gang were forced to flee the country after being heavily sought after by the government. They travelled by boat to Tortuga in Sparwood, an opportunity for the gang as piracy was abundant in the region already. The bandits set up just outside of the nation of Monterre where they operated for years.

Later Adulthood

As Nyck entered his 30s he became a senior member of the gang, renowned for his smarts and planning. However, when on a heist in a small town, Nyck was caught by the Monterran government and set to be hung. While in prison, Nyck was visited by an official of the government who offered the opportunity to join the government as a tactician and diplomat, otherwise he would be hung. Seeing an opportunity to turn things around following the news of his gangs dissolution he decided to take up the opportunity, beginning his work in Monterre. He, after years of work, was elected as a senate of Monterre.
