Teh1337haxorz

One of the founder of the island nation of Kush, teh1337haxorz joined the server on 2/3/2021 following the stoneworks video of the same day. Leading the island nation as the elected sovereign, he established the government as it is seen today, with the Doge as the elected official, appointing cabinet members like Secretary of Defence ImSoapy, Minister of Transportation FurryBait69, Chief Architect kickp1005, Minister of the Coin GerConsigliere, and many others. Later, he would go on to establish the Collegio, the legislative body of the island lead by the trusted, active, and wealthy members of the community.

When the City was founded, it was unknown at the time that the Qeshbago Dynasty similarly claimed the islands, in discussions between the leaders over who owned them, paranoia spread after the leader of the Dynasty said that there would be repercussions for settling within their claims. Accepting this as a vailed threat, the Doge paid mercenaries into threatening the Qeshbago to relinquish their claims. During this time, a crisis was happening in haven, as an answer to this, the Doge and his Second released a statement in order to curtail fears from their neighbors. This act would prove to be a mistake as outrage flooded their neighbors. Realizing that the earlier statement must not have been a threat at all, the Doge personally journeyed to their lands with his Second in command and had a discussion with their Emperor. In the discussions, Qeshbago released their claims on the islands in return for a non-aggression pact and assurances of friendship.

When the individual MidgeApe asked the world for help in the construction of his brand new casino, the Doge and some of his officials came to assist the fledgling entrepreneur. In return for their assistance, MidgeApe offered to build an embassy in the Most Serene city of Kush. the Doge accepting, MidgeApe joined the town as an ambassador. Following what can be described as a laundry list of events, the Doge expelled MidgeApe after multiple actions of the ambassador failing to heed local building codes, redirect projects, meddle in internal affairs, start disputes, and general become the most hated individual in town. This would lead to the infamous Attack on Kush and a falling out in the relationship between the two men.

After the Attack, Kush returned to a state of peace. With the Doge later on acting as an arbitrator to a new squatter in Qeshbago lands, the Umbrian Empire and resulted in the temporary formation of KATO in order to reign in the aggression of the Umbrians and protect the Qeshbago. Moderating the dispute, teh1337haxorz managed to work out an agreement where the two nations would merge into the new Holy Chevkri Empire with special policies in place to facilitate future integration of nations founded within their vast territories.

Following this, began the unfolding of the Uldarash Crisis, where Viodoxa attacked and annexed the Empire of Uldarash in a dubious war, for the crime of being allied to Aurora. In an attempt to solve this dispute, teh1337haxorz, along with leaders from other haven nations decided to come together to form the Second Uldarash Empire In a bid to show solidarity with the conquered Hapatmitas. This conflict is still ongoing as of 3/9/2021.

With the recent breakdown in negotiations following the Atlas Accords, teh1337haxorz traveled with his new chief of diplomatic affairs robot_girlyman, and headed to the lands of Viodoxa to resolve this despute. When entering into the chamber to speak with the emperor and his aides, robot_girlyman immediately began accusing them of various heinous deeds and in an attempt to save the meeting, teh1337haxorz personally removed him from the hall. In a heated and extended discussion where the Doge offered all the riches his city had and to cave in to every single point that the emperor asked, there was one that was too much for the Doge. The Emperor required that all Aurorans be exiled from the Uldarashi lands and removed from Haven. Begging and pleading that the emperor see reason and allow for their Auroran brothers to be allowed to stay, the Emperor replied "let them come, we shall destroy Fornost and drive them from the continent, those ex-escharians are not to be trusted." With this, all the light drained from the Doge's eyes as he knew attempts at peace were futile as this was all to similar a position held by the vastness of Aurora. Realizing the failure to mend the relationship between the two peoples, the Doge retreated. Knowing he could not convince the Aurorans to accept a deal with a man that wants nothing more than their blood, and knowing that Uldarash is a powder keg ready to explode at the slightest threat of war, the two sides seem irreconcilable after their sheet distrust of the other.

The self proclaimed negotiator no more, the failed negotiator, forever more.

he sits now in the town hall, in his modest office. The structure full of memories, happy friendships made, memories of tours for every citizen, the fun german discussions, the building of great skyscrapers, the draining of large parts of the ocean, constructions of massive walls and ships, the joy in the eyes of his countrymen, that which kept him at his solemn post, fading. Empty now, with no hope for peace in Haven left. He contemplates if he could have done more, or if the dream could yet be saved, he remembers the looks on the faces of the spirit knights with their empire crumbling around them, and knowing that there is nothing that the Doge can do now to save their dream. There is no room left, no new points to bring to the table, his plan doomed, the only option being to threaten his wealth to the side that sends the first shot. He contemplates leaving this realm like so many of his brother did after the fight with the hands. Here he sits, 5 weeks ago, the massive city was but a twinkle in his eyes; this dream realized, but sadly, all dreams must end.

A new Lease
Following the events of the Crisis, the doge took a leave from politics and empowered the collegio, Kush's legislative body, to be more than just a beaurocracy. over the course of about a month, the collegio would primarilly lead kush's decisions with the doge taking a back seat on purpose to give the fledgling government a trial by fire. Weeks later, he would re-enter politics and tested the strength of the new collegio to see if it could stand up to a dictator like himself, it could not. The leader set out to personally force the cogs of government to turn, and turn it did. The collegio began to truly be more than the doge's rubber stamp, and after establishing a network of allies by reforming KATO, the doge decided to officially re-write the kush constitution, and hand the office to his successor Pirimdinas. The doge saw him as a young, likable official that had the dream of the city burning within his eyes. Happy that the office was in good hands, the doge would take a few of his belongings with him, leaving the rest as the founding of the Kush National Treasury, and would leave to join the hallowed SpiritKnights and be inaugurated as the new VodkaKnight.
