Jerk

Jerk Barbarosa was born in 651 to Leutinant Randal Barbarosa and Foxette Fona, in Ebbings, a small town located twenty mills southwest of Turrigan Cove. He was raised in an environment of political exposure, as his father was a leutinant for the SNAF, who held radical views of his own and of a small, clandestine party. Jerk attended school, finishing his secondary education at the age of five seasons, and then moving on to follow his father's footsteps. However, directly out of school, Jerk begins to engage in violent, unnaccepted activites such as brawling in pubs and in cage matches, and ending up in jail twice. Bailed out by his mother, Jerk then steers his life in a different direction, returning to his father's views on politics. He develops his own radical ideas, and joins a party from the Pujen Isles, but his involvement with them does not last long, as after the Isle War, political protest begins to settle down, and the political party ultimately dies.

Moving to the Southern Heartlands with his father, Jerk joins the military, while his father works for a wealthy plantation owner, Edmonius Belfried. After his father's death in 663, and following an incident where he lost part of his crown, Jerk establishes a connection with prosperous charity activist, Lucky. He begins to work for him, and becomes a member of the council at the Coop.

From there on out, Jerk spreads his ideaologies about government inadequecies, greatly influenced by his father. He established Project Uprooting, an effort to ultimately undo any government inequity and remove the corrupted Perch Court as the seat of the government. When the Perch Court counteracts, Jerk is placed in prison for life for treason, along with many others involved. Jerk escapes shortly after, after the massive break of the Gyldinhall Dam. His ideas only inflamed, and the government only weakened, a political war within the nation insues, following the invasion of Thwart Nation forces, marking the beginning of the Second Great Revolutionary War.
