Wren B. Isambard

Lord Mayor of New Dorasterrock and Syltören politician and diplomat, Wren B. Azurov Shan-Khamen de' Medici Isambard lives between the cities of New Dorasterrock and Tonton across the Bardonian-Ryzani border. They currently work to find peace between the two ever-warring nations.

Early life
Wren spent their childhood living on a small island off the south coast of Bardonia. They lived with their adoptive sister Patrcjator Isambard. Early on, Wren showed a keen interest in Bardonian history and aligned themselves with the nationalist movement at the time. After a cluster of islands in the region began vying for independence, out of frustration, Wren boarded a fishing boat and sailed for Bardonia.

Imperial Restorationist Uprising
After turning up at New Dorasterrock with only a sack of Solanarian potatoes, Wren were taken in by the person they would later find out is their uncle, Shanks. The two of them, along with other nationalists, would end up starting an uprising in order to remove the existing emperor for poor leadership and gain independence from the Imperium. After a successful conclusion to the coup and during the coronation of the two new Autarchs, Wren would receive information of a participant of the coronation, Shan Tossavich, Tsarina of Ryzan, being their biological mother.

Beginning of their political career
Their mentor, Crezyman, deciding it was nearing his time to retire, chose Wren to be his successor as mayor of New Dorasterrock. At this time, Patrycjator would arrive to the city and would help in assuming these new responsibilities in running the city. After achieving a landslide victory in the first Senate election, Wren used this position to begin working with their close friend, Fynd, and the nation of Ryzan on constructing a market between New Dorasterrock and Carthya. These plans would fall apart during a crisis where the two nations almost went to war. Disenfranchised by their government's actions that had held back their political career, Wren decided to explore their family history. Wren met and earned the approval of their father, Jun-se Khamen, by beating him in a fishing competition in Tonton. This lead to Wren taking a break from their political career to travel around Syltör and explore their roots.

Role in the Eastmarch
The second declaration of war sent by Bardonia to Ryzan came during Wren's stay in Ryzan. This forced them to choose a side between Bardonia, the land they lived and worked in, and Ryzan, the home of their family and many friends. It is unknown exactly how much Wren worked with Ryzan but it is known they became close with members of the imperial court. This, however, is not to say that they had totally chosen the side of Ryzan as they continued to work with Bardonian high government members. This relation would end upon the siege of New Dorasterrock. Wren would watch as mercenaries entered their city and destroyed it building by building. This only brought more rage as the very Shirokanezan mercenaries that had conducted this destruction would be offered to vassalize Bardonia in return for working on their side. The final straw in this case was the Bardonian government opting to completely remove every citizen of New Dorasterrock out of the city. After a long history of attempting to undermine the city's status and then putting the city at risk it became clear to them that Bardonia would not represent New Dorasterrock. Wren took control of the situation by stepping in and declaring the independence of the city-state of New Dorasterrock. Underhanded attempts made by people like Uni, Kyborg, and even their uncle Shanks to take back the city through deceitful means during the Sylwesterrock incident only hardened Wren's resolve.

The Republican Uprising
Receiving support from their mother, Shan, Wren would cooperate with multiple secessionist movements across Bardonia and work closely with the Hetmanate of Fluenta. The cities of Hyria, Lundrues, and Port Solanaria would defect with the cities of Virothen, Trost, and even Lobopolis making moves to side with the Republic that was planned to be governed by Wren as a constitutional monarch and Crinky as the Hetman. Members of the Ryzani government moved to aid in founding this new state, particularly Fynd who had become frustrated with the governance of Ryzan. The war came to a critical moment upon which it would be decided during one battle, that being the siege of Dorasterrock. Ultimately, the rebels would lose this battle due to a large amount of aid given by the Horde to Bardonia. Even more crucially, despite being mostly disconnected from the battle, Bardonians would mysteriously gain multiple crucial cities from Ryzan, effectively destroying their morale. It was as if God had chosen Bardonia to win this war. The final nail in the coffin was Shan's death, which was suspected to have been conducted by a man claiming to be her deceased son Peter Hoff Tossavich, which destroyed Wren's motivation to continue the war. In the end, the rebellion collapsed due to factionalism and multiple attempts from the supposedly allied Oxeya to take large swathes of Bardonian land off of the rebels.

Return to Ashura
As the rebellion collapsed, Shanks, would approach Wren in an attempt to get them to hand over the city of New Dorasterrock. Wren would refuse this request and, much to the surprise of everyone, Shanks would allow New Dorasterrock back into Bardonia with almost no consequences. Wren would end up signing a treaty totally ceding their right to secede from Bardonia again. A reconstruction project would end up being organised to rebuild New Dorasterrock from the ground up. Falling into a deep depression over their mother's death, Wren took the time during this restoration project to move to their ancestral homeland of Ashura to live with their Father, Jun-Se. It has been since then that Wren has residing their and studying the faiths of Ashura hoping to one day find the resolve to return to Bardonia.
