RedFireRex

RedFireRex, born originally as Rex Fernand, is a Rathnir native from the Huitca Federation and the former leader of the failed Huitca Imperium. How he arrived in Rathnir, or where he was born is currently unknown, but through his persistence and lust for expansion and power, he has made a big impact on the world of Rathnir. After wandering across Rathnir looking for a home, Rex eventually traveled north from Haven and stumbled across Tlahatl, which was a city he took to his liking. After meeting with Infinick, RedFireRex joined Tlahatl on November 30th, 2020.

All was well until RedFireRex disagreed with Tlatoani Infinick about the Huitca Constitution, and as a result organized a Coup to overthrow Tlatoani Infinick. The Coup, known as the Huitca Coup, was successful, and after Tlatoani Infinick went into exile, Rex declared himself the Eternal-Tlatoani Emperor of the new Huitca Imperium. Before adapting back into life in the Federation, he was known to some as a leader of an illegal breakaway state from the Huitca Federation. To others, he was a hero who gave the Huitcan people the good and prosperous nation they deserved.

After he died at the Battle for Tlahatl, he was reborn as Toronto Dougwald. Toronto, unlike Rex, is a very different person as he is against the Imperium and is instead looking to repay his debt to the Federation and to the Goddess Cualitzin. Despite his hatred for the Imperium, there is still a calling from within that tells him to embrace who he once was. He tries as hard as he can to fight this voice inside him.

Rex Fernand
Rex was born at an unknown location.

Rex wandered the land looking for a new home and visited many nations to learn about their cultures. During this time, he visited Iceland, Sørligste, Ardat, Uldardash, Yimmu-Audal, Escharien, and many other places until he stumbled across the city of Tlahatl.

He joined the Huitca Federation on November 30th, 2020, and quickly began to help shape the nation.

On December 1st, 2020, Rex assisted Jane the Bane in building the wall between the Escharian colony of Fernheim and the rest of the island of Ocotlan.

Rex witnessed the 2nd Founding Day celebration on December 3rd, 2020.

On December 7th, 2020, during The Raids on Tepetl and Tlahatl, Rex was attacked inside the Federation's capital of Tlahatl, when the bandit GreenTomato5 tried to ransack the city.

The Rise of the Imperium
From early December to December 11th, negotiations took place among the Grand Assembly of the Huitca Federation to finalize the national constitution. Rex disagreed with Infinick since he hated the election process and believed that nothing would get done by the Grand Assembly. He then organized a Coup to overthrow Infinick's government.

On December 11th, 2020, after the decline of the Confederacy of Ryzan, Rex participated in the Scramble for Ryzan, where he negotiated the annexation of a peninsular in former Ryzani territory. Rex helped to integrate the region into the nation by founding the city of Chichiltik.

Later that day the coup against Infinick succeeded. Infinick was exiled from Tlahatl to live in a bunker at an undisclosed location. Soon after, Rex declared himself the Eternal-Tlatoani Emperor of the new Huitca Imperium. His goals were to expand his empire by conquering Western Rathnir and assimilate everyone to become Huitcan. He planned to eventually challenge the powers of the east, as he believed that the eastern Empires held too much control over Rathnir politics. Once raiders invaded Tlahatl, he moved the capital to Chichiltik.

The Battle
The Tlatoani-in-exile, Infinick, challenged RedFireRex to a duel at 4pm (EST) on December 12th while on Apollo Radio. This was delayed to 7pm (EST) due to uncontrollable scheduling issues.

Both parties agreed on the terms for their duel. In case of Rex' victory, Infinick would cease all claims to Imperial Huitca and confirm Rex as the legitimate ruler of the nation. This would have likely resulted into an invasion of the Imperium into western Rathnir. In case of Infinick's victory, Rex would surrender and the Imperium would be disbanded. Rex would be allowed to rejoin the Federation.

At 7pm, RedFireRex, surrounded by both observers of both parties, waited for Infinick to arrive in Tlahatl with his Army from Waahi. Rex met Infinick on the bridge outside of the city's temple district and the two of them fought to see which Huitca would remain.

In an intense battle that lasted roughly half a minute, Infinick emerged victorious, slaying Rex and restoring the Federation as the sole nation of the Huitca.

This battle was for the Soul of the Huitca people, and everyone in the nation changed that day as a result.

Rex Fernand was brutally thrown down the stairs of the Tlahatl Temple and killed on the way down. In this moment, Rex claimed to have experienced a vision of Cualitzin, the Cardinalist Goddess of North, who appeared as a beam of light as he lied dead on the floor of the temple district. Cualitzin allowed Rex to be reborn as long as he declared eternal loyalty to the Gods and to the Tlatoani and if he would prepare to settle a new Huitcan city in Ummarnu in her honor. Rex graciously accepted these terms and was reborn as a man named Toronto Dougwald. Nowadays, he tries to remain loyal to the Federation and bring new Huitca into the country.

Toronto Dougwald
Toronto was born after Cualitzin gave him a second chance at life. His first memory is emerging from an orb in the Bay between Ocotlan and Zoquiyo, from where he quickly swam back to Tlahatl. Upon his arrival, he remembered that Cualitzin told him to create a city in Zoquiyo in her honor.

Despite this, Toronto calims to still have an inner demon eating him from the inside. Remnants of Rex Fernand still exist in Toronto and are calling him back to the Imperium. Rex's voice echoes in Toronto's subconscious, always haunting him and whispering thoughts of his evil past in the back of his head. Toronto dismisses these thoughts since he made a promise to Cualitzin to remain loyal to the Federation. He fears that if his promise is broken, the consequences would be disastrous. He hopes that Rex's evil voice will get out of his head and that he will live a normal life, fulfilling his promise of beginning a new town on the Federation's frontier land. The city of Cualitz was established December 18th 2020, and has since grown to a sizeable settlement that is spreading Huitca Influence across the Ummarnu Coast.

It was around this point in time where Toronto decided that due to his love for the Apollo Radio show, he should pursue a friendship with Herb Dashwell. However, he does not expect his feelings to be reciprocated. Despite this, Toronto still gave Herb the Cobbleworks toaster he got at a VAWR meeting, which now sits on Herb's desk.

Toronto was involved in the Jane the Bane Affair where Bardonia declared war on the Huitca Federation based on actions and crimes that Jane the Bane had unknowingly committed. Toronto negotiated with Vickett and Prime Minister Zelorm in Dorasterrock in order to prevent the outbreak of war. During the meeting, Rexs voice screamed in the back of Toronto's head, begging him to attack the Bardonians and declare all-out war. Toronto persisted and continued to ignore Rex's lust for bloodshed, even though he was ready to give up his efforts halfway through the meeting. He got tired of Rex's lust for war and he considered jumping out of the meeting room. In the end, the war was prevented, but not without a cost. Jane the Bane's Huitca "Status" was revoked, which led her to renounce her citizenship entirely, as she felt she had been cheated and didn't feel that the current Huitca Government supported it's citizens in their times of need. She later moved to Carvay, and was sworn in as a Carvaian citizen.

Toronto, who is a close friend of Jane, was upset about hearing of her departure but understands her reasoning. Despite living across the sea from each other, Toronto and Jane remain friends, and allies.
