Mattéu Fyrfox

Mattéu Pierre Fyrfox du Pioresná is a Volontéan senáteur, business owner, and the current mayor of Invicta. He is best known for his activity in the Senát of North Volonté and for his nationalistic policies. He is a fierce advocator for the reclaiming of historic Volontéan lands to the nation's east and south. His primary residence is the House Fyrfox Estate, a large property south of Durnhol that was once a dwarf settlement, and he owns The Twisted Oak Public House in Pioresná's Gran Mercao district, which he inherited from his father. He also owns property in Frostwall and Invicta.

Early Life
Mattéu was born in Fall of 267 TE in Pioresná, North Volonté to two ethnic "New Volontéans", Jean Pierre Fyrfox du Pioresná and Amélie Le Fonteau. Jean Pierre was of Volontéan-Neolian descent and owned a tavern in the Gran Mercao district of Pioresná called "The Twisted Oak Public House", which Mattéu later inherited ownership to. His mother Amélie comes from a wealthy Volontéan family from Kirvograd, but she was forced to move to Pioresná with her family at a young age to flee from the Kirvograd War.

As a child Mattéu enjoyed chasing all aspects of knowledge, specifically topics regarding world history and cultures. He learned Middle Kryvonean from a young age, and also learned to read the Norterran script from his father around this time. Mattéu was also a natural when it came to politics, so when he reached the age where he needed to choose a career path, he decided he wanted to try and become a senáteur and a diplomat. Mattéu took classes to learn Traveler's Tongue (and also Mariner's Tongue) for this reason.

Mattéu is an alumni of the University of Manitell in Frostwall, Prübensia, majoring in law and minoring in business. He also learned both Kivèvis and Prübensian Samoran during his time in Frostwall.

Political Career
Mattéu first became a senáteur in the Fall 286 TE at the age of 19. Despite only just appearing on the political stage, he began to make his mark early on by proposing numerous projects for North Volonté. He is credited with initially developing North Volonté's highway designation system, the flag of the city of Fréris, and the architecture for the new North Volonté Senát building in Fréris, among many other things. He is also leading the charge for development of Durhol and Invicta.

In Spring 287 TE, Mattéu became an honorary citizen of Prübensia due to his contributions in better connecting Prübensia with North Volonté, both physically (through his expanded highway system) and diplomatically.

In Winter 289 TE, Mattéu was granted the property that he currently lives on today, south of Durnhol. He also began some development of the city at this time.

In Spring 289 TE, after Invicta was incorporated into North Volonté, Mattéu was trusted to run the city as the mayor.

In Winter 294 TE, the Loisur Agence de Renseignement dela République, or Republic Intelligence Agency Act, was passed by the Senát and the Conseil of North Volonté. Mattéu played a huge part in the drafting of this bill, along with fellow senáteurs Charles Astilor and TD.

His hopes for the future
Mattéu is one of the most active and prominent Volontéans in Eldham, but he hopes to encourage more Volontéans to rise up and join the Senát, where their voices can be heard, so that the nation can better suit their needs. He would love to meet someone
