==History==
 +
===Earlier Life===
 +
Such information has long since been lost to the mists of time (or purposely buried perhaps?), however rumours persist of Sera spending several years in the Northern Wildlands during his youth and of being an energetic player of the bloody sport of Headball.
  
 +
===Lordship of Helsera===
 +
Sera was briefly appointed as [[Rank#Lord|Count]] of [[Colonies/Helsera|Helsera]] after his violent rampages through the region aided in swiftly bringing the region into Giblot control. However due to a low key military presence during Sera's short, but bloody rule, the Helserans revolted in mass protests against their Lord. Sera vowed to return one day make the Helserans suffer terribly for their rejection. Sera kept his promise too, having hundreds of Helserans massacred shortly after he forced the [[Assassins]] to relinquish control of Helsera back to Giblot in his capacity as Chancellor.
  
The ''former'' [[Rank#Lord|Butcher]] of [[Colonies/Helsera|Helsera]], [[Government Position#General|Minister of Offence]], [[Giblot/Timeline/Rebellion/Giblot_Civil_War|Rebel Leader]], [[Government Position#Ruler|Chancellor]], [[Government Position#Banker|Treasurer]] and tyrannical [[Rank#Lord|Baron]] of [[Colonies/Steepglades|Steepglades]] has left [[Giblot]].
+
===Political Career in the Republic===
 +
During a clash of the Republic's political titans earlier in Sera's career, Sera sided against Thanatos Reavar - the man who had basically ran the show unbrokenly since Giblot's earlier times. Sera supported the wise and renowned Goergyboy in the clash, who had somehow managed to gain election as Prime Minister even in the face of Thanatos' blatant political corruption. Events of the time almost led to Civil War, but Goergyboy was too respectful of the Republic too fight it. Thus, Thanatos was allowed to regain and subsequently retain his grip on Giblot. The relationship between Sera and Thanatos would be strained henceforward.
  
 +
In the dying months of the [[Republic of Giblot]], Sera was appointed as the realm's final Minister of Defence after Alexander Gary was elected as Prime Minister (Thanatos had been weakened by a bout of flu, creating the bizarre opening.) Sera found much enjoyment in his new position, with all the freedom and trappings that it brought him. The new Defence Minister gleefully took the chance to use his position as a staging post to denounce his enemies in the realm at large, as well as to make use of the unlimited number of scribes at his disposal (See [[Giblot/Scribes|Scribes]].) A highly beneficial situation in light of Sera's frequent Scribe massacres.
  
Sera and his [[SplatterAxe|axe]] now fight for [[Toren_(SEI)|Tor]]!
+
In Sera's time as as Minister of Defence, Giblot conducted a pincer movement with [[Lukon]] against the realm of [[Outer Tilog]], which led to that realm's reduction to a single region after a successful campaign of looting and rampant disorder across the Southern river (leading to the revolt of several regions formerly pledged to Outer Tilog.) Giblot had also been poised to take the final Tilogian city, but Sera had other idea's in mind. As the Giblot army gathered in Steepglades and Rollsovar for a final assault on Outer Tilog, Sera launched a coup against Thanatos in the capital. In a matter of hours Sera controlled most key locations and government buildings in the capital, prompting the abandonment of the Tilogian Conquest by Prime Minister Thanatos himself.

Sera is the eldest brother of the Osha family and he has been a loyal troopleader of Giblot, nearly his whole life. Whilst having a somewhat troubled childhood, Sera overcame his difficulties to become a leading and powerful member of the Giblot nobility.
+
===Role in the [[Giblot/Timeline/Rebellion/Giblot Civil War|Giblot Civil War]]===
  
After several false starts attempting to be elected to the position of [[Government_Position#Judge|Grand Justiciar]], Sera was appointed to Giblots Council as the new [[Government_Position#General|Minister of Defence]]. Sera however quickly disregarded this title and re-styled himself as the Minister of 'Offence.' Initially, several commentators questioned the motives behind this, though they all disappeared without a trace several days later. This title has since become defunct however, after Sera led a successful Rebellion in Giblot and supplanted the Tyranical Regime that reigned there.
+
===Political Career in the Democracy===
  
One of the most recent and bizarre political quirks Sera has undergone lately, is the announcement that he is the [[Government_Position#Ruler|Pontifex]] of the [[Giblot/The Headless OT|Headless OT]] tavern.
+
===Career in Toren===
  
----
+
===Time in Fontan, Fwuvoghor & Alowca===
  
As a small child, Sera was an adorable little boy. Not only was he a very quick learner but he also got on well with everyone. He got on especially well with his younger brothers, particularly [[Osha Family/Barbar|Barbar]].
+
===Final return to Giblot===
  
This all changed very quickly however when Sera's parents were tried and found guilty of being involved in the illicit trade of illegal Herbs. They were publicly executed in Koolaris. Although the Osha brothers had been ordered to stay home, Sera left the family mansion to go watch. When he returned to the mansion later on he was no longer the adorable little boy everybody once knew.
+
===Death===
 +
Sera was eventually killed in a death duel by [[Shenron Family/Saiga|Saiga Shenron]], a man who himself would one day become Chancellor of Giblot. The chaotic circumstances that led to the death duel were fittingly 'Seran.'
  
Quickly his relationship soured with Barbar as Sera became more and more violent and immoral. Eventually the family was divided. [[Osha Family/Malice|Malice]] sided with Barbar and they stood on the side of Righteousness, whilst [[Osha Family/Revan|Revan]] sided with Sera and they stood for Evil and Wrong doing. This early rift still divides the family today.

At the age of 17, Sera began his career as a troopleader in Giblot. He was glad to finally leave Barbar and his other brothers behind back in Koolaris. Sera only spent a single year in Giblot, in near complete solitude. When approached by other troopleaders no more than a few words would come from Sera's mouth. In the end, whilst Sera was riding alone one day, he hit a tree branch and knocked himself unconscious for a few hours. When he awoke, his mind was obsessed with strange things and Sera suddenly left to travel the Northern Wildlands one day.

Sera is awfully fond of his personal [[SplatterAxe|battleaxe]], which picked up the affectionate nickname of 'The SplatterAxe' back in the heyday of it's use.
  
Little is known of Sera's travels to the Wildlands. Although it is known that he searched for an object of ancient power he brought nothing back with him on his return to Giblot besides his trusty [[SplatterAxe|Splatter Axe]]. In some of Sera's more, delusional drunk moments, he has been known to mutter incoherently about mystical races and abominable creatures but aside from these slip ups, Sera has remained tight lipped about his travels.

Sera eventually returned to Giblot as soon as Revan's death reached his ears, thoughts of finding the mystical object evaporting quickly from his mind. He would avenge his beloved brothers death.
+
Sera is the eldest brother of the Osha family and he has been a loyal troopleader of Giblot, nearly his whole life. Whilst having a somewhat troubled childhood, Sera overcame his difficulties to become a leading and powerful member of the Giblot nobility.
  
Soon Sera fully re-immersed himself in the day to day activities of Giblot, this time however Sera was much wiser and stronger than before. Few troopleaders recognised him from his previous stint in Giblot, the long dark hair and icy stare confusing even the few people that did remember him.

Since Sera's return he has setup a Sandwich making Business in Helsera. However, far from making your usual, delicious sarnie, the fillings for these sandwiches are corpses fresh from Giblots battlefields! This was part of Sera's crackpot scheme to bankrupt [[Outer Tilog]] by flooding their sandwich market with cheap, disgusting sandwiches. So far the scheme has had little success, though cleanup of Giblot's battlefields have become 60% faster since the business was founded.
 
 
 
Recently there were some administration problems when Giblot re-established it's authority in Helsera. Sera quickly had to cut back on his links to the underground and downsize operations. Since then however, the business has entered the public eye and due to overwhelming public support, could actually be expanded in the future rather than shut down!

Sera was briefly appointed as [[Rank#Lord|Count]] of [[Colonies/Helsera|Helsera]] due to his previous violent rampage through the region aimed at quelling resistance to a Giblot takeover and reducing the male population in a bid to lower the risk of uprisings. However due to a low key military presence during Sera's short, but bloody rule, the Helserans revolted in mass protests against their Lord. Sera has vowed to burn all their children and turn them all into catapult projectiles, but has returned only briefly since.

Sera managed to sustain Head Injuries shortly after the Helseran Revolt. The injuries managed to supress Sera's evil thoughts for a few days. Sera in this time then shocked the Giblot Nobility when he proclaimed that Killing was wrong! Two days later one of Sera's soldiers poured a Jug of Blood over him which made him snap out of it. Amusingly, Sera has no recollection of these, rather disturbing events!

In the final months of the [[Republic of Giblot]], Sera was appointed as the realms new Minister of Defence after Alexander was elected as Prime Minister of Giblot. A position Sera found much enjoyment in with all the freedom and trappings that being the Defence Minister brought with it. Sera gleefully took the chance to use his position as a staging post to denounce all Righteous members of the realm, aswell as make use of the unlimited number of scribes at his disposal. A highly beneficial situation in light of Sera's frequent Scribe massacres. However, Sera's time in that role only lasted until the Civil War...
 
 
 
----
 
 
 
Sera was the instigator of the Rebellion that would quickly lead to the overthrow of the Tyrannical Republic of Giblot and the reformation into a Democracy, finally giving the Nobles of Giblot equal voice after nearly 6 Years of the near unbroken influence of Thanatos Reaver and his Cronies. The move by Sera was for the most part, unwelcomed by the established Aristocracy but those who had been short changed by the System quickly rallied to his cause.
 
 
 
Although both sides enjoyed Equal Support from the Nobles in the Conflict, the Loyalists had the Stronger Military Force. However the actions of Thanatos near the end of the War and a Speech by Sera managed to dissuade some from joining the final battle. When the final Battle did come, Sera and his fellow Supporters soundly routed the disorganised Loyalists who had gathered in the City and spread themselves widely and unintelligently infront of the Revolutionary Forces.
 
 
 
Thanatos was quickly exiled after that, and it is known he went to hide in Atamara before returning to [[Lukon]]. In the meantime, Sera has been installed as the Chancellor of the new Democracy - and he owes it all to those that stood with him on the Battlefield that day. Sera's seriously considering etching their names into a Giant Marble, Headball Monument soon as a reward for there help...or maybe sacrificing a few people. Whatever takes his fancy at the time!
 
 
 
----
 
 
 
After the Civil War was over Sera remained as Chancellor of Giblot for a total of two terms before stepping aside, so sick to death of the moaning that he had to get out and get in touch with his roots. Yes thats right, he gave up his position of power to go play Headball!
 
 
 
Since stepping down Sera has kept a largely low profile but is known to have recently interfered extensively behind the scenes in the [[Giblot/Timeline/Rebellion/Restoration|rebellion]] that toppled [[Detinu Family/Shaman|Shaman Detinu]].
 
  
During the Rebellion, after a particularly long round of drinking, Sera announced that he was the new [[Government_Position#Ruler|Pontifex]] of the [[Giblot/The Headless OT|Headless OT]] tavern. Allegedly he also now worships the ''Ale Gods'', Barrel and Tankard. Initially there was widespread hostility to Sera's claims until it was revealed that Ale prices were being dropped by as much as 50% as a result. Needless to say, since then business has never been better in the realm of the Headless OT tavern!---->

History

Earlier Life

Such information has long since been lost to the mists of time (or purposely buried perhaps?), however rumours persist of Sera spending several years in the Northern Wildlands during his youth and of being an energetic player of the bloody sport of Headball.

Lordship of Helsera

Sera was briefly appointed as Count of Helsera after his violent rampages through the region aided in swiftly bringing the region into Giblot control. However due to a low key military presence during Sera's short, but bloody rule, the Helserans revolted in mass protests against their Lord. Sera vowed to return one day make the Helserans suffer terribly for their rejection. Sera kept his promise too, having hundreds of Helserans massacred shortly after he forced the Assassins to relinquish control of Helsera back to Giblot in his capacity as Chancellor.

Political Career in the Republic

During a clash of the Republic's political titans earlier in Sera's career, Sera sided against Thanatos Reavar - the man who had basically ran the show unbrokenly since Giblot's earlier times. Sera supported the wise and renowned Goergyboy in the clash, who had somehow managed to gain election as Prime Minister even in the face of Thanatos' blatant political corruption. Events of the time almost led to Civil War, but Goergyboy was too respectful of the Republic too fight it. Thus, Thanatos was allowed to regain and subsequently retain his grip on Giblot. The relationship between Sera and Thanatos would be strained henceforward.

In the dying months of the Republic of Giblot, Sera was appointed as the realm's final Minister of Defence after Alexander Gary was elected as Prime Minister (Thanatos had been weakened by a bout of flu, creating the bizarre opening.) Sera found much enjoyment in his new position, with all the freedom and trappings that it brought him. The new Defence Minister gleefully took the chance to use his position as a staging post to denounce his enemies in the realm at large, as well as to make use of the unlimited number of scribes at his disposal (See Scribes.) A highly beneficial situation in light of Sera's frequent Scribe massacres.
