Issac Vetavos

Issac Vetavos, originally named Ivan Smirnov, and more commonly referred to as RedGunn911, is a former politician in the United Socialist States of Eldham, and the current Mayor of the city of Nizkaya. He was known as the Commissioner of Information and Media within the nation.

Early Life
Issac Vetavos, born Ivan Alexander Smirnov, was born on the island nation of Solandia (present day Nova Azcoria). His parents were fisherman, and would usually leave in the morning to fish, leaving Ivan at home. He was orphaned at the age of 15 after his parents tragically died in a terrible thunderstorm. After weeks of mourning, Ivan decided to leave Solandia and venture into the unknown in order to find a better place to live in and settle. He sailed on his wooden boat for days with nothing but a few pieces of bread. He reached the shore of Pergamos, present day Adalor, and continued his journey on foot. Days passed, and Ivan reached the gates of Kazkaya. The mayor of the city, Gaboliver Urabon, happened to be near the gate at the time, and wholeheartedly welcomed Ivan into the city, giving him baked potatoes and a place to settle in. Gaboliver would then invite Ivan into the USSE, and Ivan became a citizen in the nation.

U.S.S.E.
During his early days in the USSE, Ivan tried to get his name out, and participated in multiple massive projects. He dug the famous underground ice highway, helped construct the Kazkaya Sea Wall, and many more. He would also befriend politicians, such as the former Deputy Secretary Pogge Richtoffen, Commissioner of Development Gaboliver Urabon, and the then General Secretary Chelovek Serebra. He also joined the military, and the nation's newspaper, the Red Star, as a journalist.

People's Security Bureau
After hearing the news of a new security bureau being created, Ivan rushed to apply and join the bureau, and was accepted as an officer. He would spent months as an officer, with his first and most memorable mission being guarding Chelovek Serebra’s wedding, which he and his comrades successfully accomplished. After the then director Krakhov disappeared, Ulaf Hobert became the new director and promoted Ivan to the Lieutenant of a new division. He would then be promoted to Co-Director of the PSB, and ended up being Director himself. He would continue to be the Director of the PSB up until Krakhov’s sudden return, in which he continued serving in the PSB as an officer. He met a lot of new people there, such as the infamous troller Duckalious Serebra.

Government Career
After Van’la Gaboliver’s term and the Red War concluded, Aleksander Serebra, son of Chelovek Serebra, became the new General Secretary and announced that the positions of Commissioner of Foreign Affairs and Commissioner of Information and Media was vacant. Ivan had his eyes on Commissioner of Foreign Affairs, and applied for that position. Unfortunately, Aleksander had other plans. A few days later, Ivan became the new Commissioner of Information and Media, and worked to reform the Commission and revive the dying nation newspaper, the Red Star, in which he spectacularly failed. He made a lot of new friends during his time as Commissioner, such as Kamirek Garxo, KatoLeAsian, Xeroise Ronango'O, and many more. Around this time, he changed his name from Ivan Smirnov to a more Lo’Oi name, Issac Vetavos.

He continued to be the Commissioner of Information and Media through Aleksander Serebra and K.P.X. Triscus’ term, but due to his incompetence, he was fired when Kato Leasian came to power. For the first time in a while, Issac was an ordinary citizen. But then Kato’s term ended, and he almost immediately reapplied for the vacant position of the Commissioner of Information and Media. He was accepted by the new General Secretary, Pier Anagar, but was replaced midway through Pier’s term. He would then become the Commissioner of Information and Media again during Lethe’s term, and successfully revived the Red Star. For the first time in months, the Red Star is producing issues. He would also become the Ministry of Information in the Eldham Union.

The Great Serronan War
After only producing the first few issues, the Eldham Union (a union the USSE was apart of) and the Eldham Alliance (consisting of Scylding, Sylvania, and Velerin) declared war on the Vulperium. Issac couldn't participate in the war due to his age (OOC: timezones), but he participated in the 'moral wars'. He revived the Commission of Information, produced plenty of papers and articles, and produced a fair amount of propaganda. He also often scouted in Manzland territory, and was present during a border skirmish in the Keks Wall, a great wall between Manzland and Ljordmir. In the end, the Eldham Alliance won the Great Serronan War, and everything was back to peace.

Retirement and Nizkaya
After the end of the Great Serronan War, Issac continued to produce issues for the Red Star, but was slowly getting burnt out. Towards the end of Lethe's term, almost no new issues are being published. The Commission of Information and Media was also merged with the Union Ministry of Information, which killed activity in the Commission. No new articles were being written either. Finally, after the end of Bhutch's term, he was fired from office by the newly elected Chelovek Serebra III (now named Xelovek Serebo) due to inactivity.

Van'la Gaboliver, before her death, told Issac that he could reconstruct and revive the abandoned city of Nizkaya, which he did. Towards the end of his days, he worked on plans to revive the abandoned city and would occasionally visit Kazkaya to steal its resources. His son, Divinus, would later take over the reconstruction effort once he passes. He also brewed some alcohol with Gaboliver Urabon's grandson, Miril.
