Ernst Douglas

Ernst Douglas, also known as squeeeky, is a Falconian engineer and former statesman who served as the Technological Minister of the former sovereign state, Falconia, and as a former councilman of The Wandenreich before its merger with Ashtrokan Deguaran. A self-proclaimed engineer and inventor under a prosperous empire in a faraway land. Douglas claimed he was onboard a ship on an expedition to find new land and settlement opportunities before falling overboard due to a freak storm. On May 3rd, 2021, after washing ashore in Rathnir, he was mugged. Penniless and starving Douglas wanders around looking for resources before he was rescued by the band of the Falcon and invited to join Falconia. Later on, on May 4th, 2021, after presenting his engineering prowess he was promoted to Technological Minister. During his tenure as Technological Minister, Douglas made numerous inventions and discoveries like his steam engine on May 5th, 2021, a railway steam locomotive on May 7th, 2021, and his discovery of Falconsteel sometime in late May of the same year.

Following the subsequent collapse of Falconia on May 31st, 2021, Douglas migrated to Eldham with his countrymen, settling a town named Silbern and becoming one of the founding members of The Wandenreich. On June 2nd, 2021, Douglas was appointed as a councilman in the first parliament of The Wandenreich under The Grand Falcon TheOtakuKaiser. As councilman, Douglas was tasked with scouting and establishing a military naval base for the growing nation before his mysterious disappearance on June 22nd, 2021.

It would not be until January 18th, 2023, that Douglas would return to Eldham. Allegedly, he claimed to have been frozen in an Iceberg for the past year and a half due to an incident on June 22nd, 2021. Douglas returned to a changed world, the country that used to be known as The Wandenreich had merged with Ashtrokan Deguaran to form the A.W.E, and most shocking to him, the Grand Falcon that he used to serve was executed under the crime of treason after an attempted coup by royalists. After this discovery, Douglas went into hiding only leaving a letter to his dear friend, the governor of Silbern, Sir Bohhy. Later on the same day, Douglas was scouted by Cold Naktinmal Takormsson to join the High Kingdom of Soolia. After seeing his architectural and engineering prowess, he was given the task of renovating an old historical town named Buktvokter, where he works today as the Chief Architect and Engineer.

Biography
On May 3rd, 2021, Douglas washed ashore in Rathnir and mugged, before meeting TheOtakuKaiser and getting accepted into Falconia.

On May 4th, 2021, Douglas was promoted to the Falconian Technological Minister due to his prowess in Engineering. On May 5th, 2021, Douglas had built a contraption he called "The Steam Engine" after reading through the notes of and unknown Escharien Engineer. He perfected the machine, improving the pistons and the inefficiency of the old design. The machine uses steam from boiling water to push pistons to rotate a wheel. Little is known about why he built such a contraption, but he did mentions that it will change how we travel. After a lot of trial and error, on May 7th, 2021, Douglas managed to construct a miniaturized steam engine. The steam engine is then put in a machine by the name of a "steam locomotive" or "train." On the same day, a factory was constructed to produce the tracks on which the vehicle runs on.
