Banks Gennisi

Banks "Bag" Gennisi is the former Minister of Development and Planning and current Hand of the Queen in the Kingdom of Aurea. Originally from Rathnir, he and his wife, Her Majesty Queen Beatrice Gennisi, are the dynamic duo that leads the great Kingdom of Aurea. Amongst the greatest Aurean architects and merchants, Bag is amongst of the wealthiest of Aurean aristocracy, only occasionally gambling his wealth away. Despite Bag's old age and frequent naps at nearly any hour of the day, he is one of the most ambitious Aureans, always pursuing greatness in whatever he sets his mind to. Once a great warrior who braved many battles, his old age has proven as an obstacle to his ability to fight, so he instead works to ensure the security of Aurea through economic and diplomatic means. His greatest achievement is bringing the Nation of Aurea out obscurity and into the well known and respected nations of Eldham.

Early Life
Born on Rathinir, Bag was a rebellious teenager who grew up in the lands of Alamayn. While he rarely speaks about his childhood, those who remember him in his youth remember him as a rambunctious youngster.

Alamayn
Bag is the Ex-Grand Vizier of Alamayn and Ex-Grand Sultan of Alamayn. His position in Alamayn is known to be a sensitive topic. Bag still holds resentment about what happened in Alamayn. He has painful memories of betrayal and lost community, and thus rarely speaks of this time in his life.

Arrival to Aurea
Fleeing the aftermath of the Alamayn Wars, Bag and Bee fled Rathnir to Eldham by way of sea. On the long voyage, Bag reflected on his past. He resolved to see life with a different outlook upon his arrival to Eldham. Upon his arrival to the edges of the Eldham continent, He stumbled into the newly born Nation of Aurea, led by King Vita. The king welcomed Bag and Bee into the folds of the Kingdom with open arms and they quickly became trusted confidants of the King.

Aurean Council Member
Once Queen Bee was named as the successor to the Royal Crown, Bag began his service to the Aurean Crown by serving as the Aurean Minister of Development and Planning, while additionally serving as an advisor to the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Diplomacy. Bag's many talents and ambitions ensured that every component of Aurea's progress was successful. While progress was slow, as time went on the Kingdom felt the impact of his policies in action.

Gol
Bag is the Duke of Gol, where he spends most of his time. A firm believer in the religious traditions of Morikomi Shamanism, Bag designed and constructed a great temple dedicated to the Four Winds at the center of Gol. He continues to expand the ancient underground caverns beneath the city to produce wealth and economic opportunity for all Aurean citizens.
