Before Eldham
Luis Von de Hotin has hazy origins. he wasn't born in Eldham, his dynasty coming from somewhere further north than most will believe. He however being force by some unknown happening packed his family and bags and sailed south and arrived in Eldham.

Bjancia
Luis arriving in Eldham didn't mean he found his home right away. He and his family had to jump from a continent to another in order to find a home and they soon found it in Bjancia. The small developing country was in the deep south, it having the climate that the Von de Hotin's home also had. Upon arrival he established himself and soon became the Prime-Minister of Bjancia, hoping to begin his career in politics from there.

But disaster struck.

The Bai Federation, a nation in the east was inexplicably sending scouts in the area. Luis upon receiving reports of such actions happening, sent an envoy to the Bai Federation higher ups, however they couldn't make a credible excuse for their small incursions. They have also violated the territorial integrity of the small nation, by establishing a town down south. This triggered Luis's suspicions of war being on the horizon and he began preparing for the war. He also was approached by the Razuni foreign minister, Alaina, but he couldn't secure concrete support.

Soon though it all fell down. Due to miscommunication, the fortress town of Bavos, departed from Bjancia and from there on the state collapsed. Plagued by inactivity and incompetence and a probable spy in the midst, Bjancia was doomed to fall. And Luis? He self-exiled and ran to the Razuni Sultanate.

The Medena Emergency
2 days after becoming an official Razuni citizen, Luis was brought into politics again, this time in Medena. A small and young republic which just held elections, the nation was in a bit of a pickle. The Monarchist faction of Medena approached the sultanate in order to help them overturn the unpopular MSDP, which had won the elections narrowly by creating a coalition in between the Socialist and Radical Democrats. Luis worked with the collaborators and soon he couped the unstable state. With backing from Razuni Sultanate he secured Medena and ruled over it until the new elections had begun.

Current
Luis Von de Hotin, being accused 2 accounts of power abuse, was put on trial for his crimes, but due to a loophole in the Law of Razuni Sultanate, he was exiled on the basis of Treason, something that at a second glance did not happen. Anyhow, after hearing the sentence, without any appeals, he left somewhere, unknown to anyone.

Personality
A career politician, with a staunch belief in authoritarianism, he is most of the time diplomatic and calm, unfortunately, in the times he isn't he is quite annoying and bothersome. He knows his way with politics, most of the time barely setting foot in other areas other than the political/administrative sector. When in an argument however, he generally shows off, making his opponent appear dumber to the other before challenging the actual argument. He is also headstrong in whatever he believes, but most of the time he keeps an open mind, always listening to what others have to say.
