Gray Is Yes

Gray is the count of Eldal-Adadi in Theios-Essukdal.

Life and Career
Throughout his life, Gray has devoted himself to the better of Yimmu-Audal. He has been involved in many of its events and has been there for a very, very long time. His career was mainly focused on combating the issues with Escharia and Bardonia, both whom threatened Yimmu-Audal's sovereignty. And in the end, his efforts would come to realize Yimmu-Audal's independence and lead to the formation of Theios-Essukdal.

Early Life and Career
When Rathnir came into to existence, Gray was there with his fellow Audaladae to build up the first Audalad city of Shyr-Arrak (now Urnu-Arrak). He was even the first person in Rathnir to find diamonds. Eventually, he went south to settle his own town, Eldal-Adadi. There, he would build in a style somewhat similar to Urnu-Arrak. Before the arrival of Ghastly Bespoke, Gray would build the roads that connected Dal-Wasusud, Ederai-Elnam, and The Last Bastion to the empire. For the rest of his early life, Gray would continue to build in Eldal-Adadi and provide resources to the empire.

Stepping into YA's Govt'
Although, he was already on the Council of Elders, Gray's first experience in Yimmu-Audal's government really came about when he became the First Regent. This happened due to Dalatra being banished to the "Shadow Realm". Here, he would loosen the very tight tensions with Escharia, even signing a defensive pact with them and incorporating a shared territory. The Emperor of Escharia, Sieg, would attempt many times to get Gray to form a union with Escharia. And although Sieg came very close to succeeding, the union never happened due to advice given to Gray from StoryStudio, which is seen as a sign of connection and strength in the Audalad Dynasty from the Holy Golden Seabird. Eventually, the loose tensions with Escharia would tighten up again due to Dalatra's return to the throne. With Dalatra's return, Gray became the Chief Diplomat of Yimmu-Adual. Gray focused much of his energy during CD into building up YA's security though making alliances and pacts. Most notably, the defensive pact with Ryzan.

Usurpation and War
After hunting down the man who plotted her assassination, Dalatra was forced into resignation by Sieg because he threatened YA with war if she didn't resign. After her formal resignation, Dalatra named Gray as the Regent of Yimmu-Audal, making him a two-time regent. Sieg personally messaged Gray and congratulated him on becoming regent. Gray then got messages that Urnu-Arrak's throne room was being sieged by the Trillium. Gray went to Urnu-Arrak to see all of the commotion. He walked into the very full throne room to see Sieg sitting on the throne. Gray then gave Sieg reasons on why this usurpation was wrong. They would then have an intense stare-off for about 25 minutes. With Sieg getting tired, the Trillium returned to their lands, leaving the throne open to Gray. He placed a sign on the throne saying "The Council will Decide" in place of the sign that proclaimed Sieg to be emperor. Then, the council would eventually decide through an election. Although the election hadn't started yet, Gray's chances to win looked bright, and they were bright until Carpicious, as well as TheLastSven announced that they would be running for the position too. After the election, the results were in. Carpicious beat the two candidates with nine votes. With that, Carpicious would be made empress, and Sven would become the CD. All of these events led up to The Great Rathnir War, which saw the Coalition forces surrender to the Trillium. Yimmu-Audal was then made a vassal of Escharia, which would then be called the Soleannan Empire.

Bardonian Occupation
Under The Soleannan Empire, Sieg let Yimmu-Audal chose their leaders. The group that Sieg assigned to chose these people would select Gray for Emperor and TheRealOJOJ as Chief Diplomat. Gray's first conflict came when Bardonia was upset with Sieg and YA for not following the terms of The Great Rathnir War, which would've made Tzseu the Queen of Yimmu-Audal. Bardonia then planned to siege Yimmu-Audal in the Looting of Urnu-Arrak. Gray had already planned to surrender before the war even started, so when the Bardonian forces showed up, Gray came to Urnu-Arrak with no armor, only words to say. He then surrendered, making Yimmu-Audal a vassal of Bardonia. The Audaladae were very defiant towards the Bardonian administration, as was the rest of Rathnir. Bardonia would eventually give up Yimmu-Audal, returning to the hands of The Soleannan Empire and making Gray YA's leader once again.

Audalad Independence
A now democratic Bardonia and the Sterling Crownlands threatened Soleannea with war. Not wanting a war that would destroy their nation, Sieg and D3bi went for a peaceful and diplomatic approach. This approach led to the liberation of Yimmu-Audal and Theiónikos. Gray, OJOJ, and Ghastly Bespoke had now completed their goal of independence. They would then officially announce their positions in the Audalad government.

Becoming a Count
Yimmu-Audal, who had already been seeing a nice influx, saw the return of StoryStudio, the first emperor of Yimmu-Audal, to the nation. Story quickly took charge and influenced the return of other major figures like BlueMarble, Harbardr, DrLunkin, and Dotto. This was the beginning of the Audalad Renaissance. The reunification of Yimmu-Audal and Theiónikos, which was already planned, was item number one on the agenda. This reunification would lead to the creation of Theios-Essukdal. As a result of the union, Takiruko01 became Lugal and Story became Chief Diplomat. Story then decided that Gray would be the Count of the County of Eldal-Adadi.

Being a Count and Recent events
Gray has recently been working on his county and maintaining neutrality in Theios-Essukdal. Gray also periodically releases a national census and a religious survey to the nation to keep track of demographics and needs from the people. Along with his former partner, Ghastly Bespoke, Gray helped formed the ideas of the conservative NMP party in Theios-Essukdal, which focused on the traditional ideas of the old Audalad Empire. Due to controversy and division among people in the nation, Count Story of Urnu-Arrak shut down the party system as a whole. Gray has recently been working on quizzes on Audalad history and constructing the Adadid Theatre and Convention Center. Along with these projects, Gray has been assigned to upkeep and maintain the Library of Bishara-Shurud in Urnu-Arrak, as he has replaced a majority of its books approximately 3 times due to the library being robbed on various occasions.
