Ceannard Bakura, formerly Ceannard Cogaidh V, also referred to as CrashSyndicate, or simply Crash, is a Soldier and Politician currently serving as Supreme Leader of Vasteria and Bardonian Senator. He was born on the 4th of Teas-Soilleir 376 T.C. in the former Alri-Myran Republic. He lived much of his early life as a farmhand at his family's ranch in Cirdan city. In 389 T.C., when Ceannard was thirteen, the Alri-Myran Republic was invaded by the Holodian Empire. When Ceannard turned fifteen he was drafted into a militia of Alri-Myran Nationalists fighting against the invading Holodian Empire. He would fight for eight years before finally fleeing to Rathnir. The war was a deeply scarring event in Ceannard's life and would be the main contributor to his later alcoholism.

Childhood
At the time of Ceannard V's birth the Cogaidh family was in a poor condition, considering their history as nobles. Ceannard's father, Árach Cogaidh, was a poor rancher in the Alri-Myran city of Cirdan. Árach's work only paid him enough for his family to eat, and unnecessary goods were seldom found in the Cogaidh ranch.

Ceannard's childhood was not very interesting. He spent the majority of his days helping his father on his ranch and the last few hours he had left after a hard day's work were spent merely wandering around his town, walking through the woods, conversing with his few neighbors, and attending the local Talamh church.

Teen Years (and the Holodian Invasion)
Ceannard's teen years began the same time as the Holodian Empire, a large nation controlling the Northeast region of Myra, began their military campaign to conquer Ceannard's home of the Alri-Myran republic. His family would huddle together and read the newspapers as soon as it arrived at their house. The Cogaidh family were proud Alri-Myran nationalists and all wanted to fight in the war, but no one was of the right age to be doing the republic any favors; however, this soon changed as when Ceannard turned fifteen the local Cirdan County militia drafted him into their service.

Service in the Alrimar-Holodian War
After a crushing defeat at the Battle of Hogsfield Ceannard's brigade was forced to surrender and all but four soldiers (including Ceannard), were captured by the Holodians. Ceannard, and the other three soldiers who were able to escape, were forced to live in the mountains and bandit nearby villages for supplies. During this period, which lasted five years, Ceannard and the other soldiers were placed on Holodia's "Most Wanted" list, each with an individual bounty of two million.

Current Day
When Ceannard arrived in Rathnir life became somewhat unfulfilling. The transition from the high-adrenaline life of a mountain-bandit to a desk-sitting politician didn't sit right with Ceannard. This, combined with him seeing it as a good way to enforce his socialist beliefs, led him to become a bandit, where he could steal from the rich elites and provide for the less fortunate of society.

Political Philosophy
Ceannard's first political affiliation was with a group of Alri-Myran nationalist partisans, known as the "Lead-Throwers", when he was fifteen. Ceannard's birth family never involved themselves with politics, although they were known to be highly patriotic and, nonetheless, proud of their nation's free political system.

When Ceannard arrived in the UBSR he was exposed to socialist politics for the first time. The socialist theory fascinated him as something completely new, and he soon joined a Burgamerian political party, the Leftist Liberty League. It was during this time Ceannard developed his Democratic-Socialist philosophy. At this time Ceannard lived in the island city of Crescada, whose mayor tended to be inactive and inconsistent. This annoyed Ceannard, who loathed his beautiful city being left empty. So, when election time came around in Burgamere, and it was time to elect a new leader of Crescada, Ceannard entered himself on the ballot, with the support of his fellow party members. Ceannard won the election and completely revamped the town, turning it into, at one time, the most active city in the UBSR. It also meant Ceannard would become a member of the Politburo, the executive body of the Burgamerian government. In this position Ceannard became an important political figure, acquainting himself with the top powers in the government, and proving himself as a competent leader.

Ceannard left the Leftist Liberty League, who he saw as perpetuating a violent, toxic, naive and extremist new party base. Soon after this the General Secretary of the UBSR, FigurativeGarbage, unsuccessfully attempted to mobilize the UBSR Army to his side, falsely claiming a coup. He was kicked out of office by the Politburo and a round of elections were held. There were three candidates running, Green (with the LLL), Platitron, and Tammy. Ceannard aligned himself with Tammy, the military leader at the time. At this time Ceannard became involved in a conspiracy to overthrow the UBSR government, in the event the LLL won the election. Tammy would drop out of the election as to allow Platitron to secure a victory against the LLL. Ceannard would proudly support Platitron as General Secretary, who would win the election, causing the LLL to leave the nation in shame.

When appointed Regent Archon of the IAU by Archon Ryou Bakura, Ceannard, following a general move of the Tovarishan political establishment, would become apathetic with Socialism, and to a lesser extent, democracy, admitting privately to Archon Ryou Bakura, that, for democracy to work, it "just needed a push sometimes", implying the immense power held by the Harmony of Truth over the result of Tovarishan elections. This general apathy would soon turn to a full denouncement, and later hate. Ceannard would officially denounce the ideology, under the influence of his son, Sherman Bakura's, capitalist theories, and run for General-Secretary of Burgamere on a platform of "Destroying Communism"
