Vita Family
Descended from the broken Bishamon Family.
Hamilton
Twin of Jefferson, son of the elder Sejieda Bishamon. Began as a noble in Fontan because it was the realm of his family's home and there were nobles whom he recognized from the old family stories. Though soon after joining he was banned as part of the Krimml Incident for speaking up for his beliefs. Hamilton was the last one to correspond with Alexi Pelevin. Joined the Confederacy of Fontan is now Marshal of the Confederate Army of Fontan and Banker of the Confederacy of Fontan. He has founded the newspaper Confederate Vindicator.
Hamilton was eventually captured by the Fontanese in a Negev skirmish. He stayed behind while ordering those who could to move back to Fontan because he had used his time up briefing and debriefing scouts and doing civil work. After much discussion in the Fontan Assembly, he was spared execution and deported to the Colonies. At first he was gleeful he was spared execution, but soon became bitter when it was discovered the ship was headed to the Colonies. He joined Outer Tilog and become a knight of Hilly Holes.
Hamilton escaped the Colonies and rejoined Fontan on the East Coast. His future is in peril. As requested by Knight Theron, he wrote a more precise history of the events leading up to his ban in Hamilton's Ban. He has since signed the Confederate Reinstitution Oath. His current oath to Oligarch is detailed in Hamilton's Oath. He recently wrote a more detailed history of his life entitled Fontanese Betrayal. In a betrayal by a messenger related to a messenger that Hamilton killed, Hamilton lost his tongue and hands, which were sent to Count and Marshal Malfurion. He eventually regained them through unmentioned methods and has resumed usage of those parts, but it is said he lacks taste now.
Shortly before his one-month trial as per the Confederate Reinstitution Oath, he moved to Ohnar West with Jared Artemsia following. He became the Vice Marshal of the Second Army of West Ohnar before having wide popularity for Strategic Commander. Unfortunately, he was not chosen. He then became Duke of Akanos in an election against his Balthazar Bathgate(Minister of Justice, founding member, and his liege) and Julian Zulhir(first marshal, second general, Baron, and founding member). All lords voted in the referendum.
Duke Hamilton Vita grew disastisfied with Ohnar West due to its continued incompetence and random attacks upon his person and other innocent nobles, but when Letters against noble blood were written, it was the last straw.
In February 28, 2009, Duke Balthazar Bathgate of Ozrat placed a ban upon Duke Hamilton Vita due to a letter that King Jenred Bedwyr of Arcaea had leaked to Prime Minister Cornelius II Hsieh. As a result, Duke Hamilton changed his allegiance to Arcachon, but they would not accept it. In a desperate bid, he seceded to form the Akadian League on March 2, 2009.
The war between the Akadian League and Ohnar West was a stalemate throughout its history. He was responsible for the Akadian League's foundation and early history. However, he had to go on a series of hunting trips(ooc: hitchhiking across country for 3.5 months). Eventually, he was betrayed from within and fled to Itorunt. More information on this event can be found within Akadian League's history.
In under three and a half hour of arriving in Itorunt, Queen Morgana Lefanis had placed Hamilton Vita upon the Military Council. Within days, he was an ambassador. And in a matter of a few more days, he had refounded the Itorunt Informer.
Hamilton's Wife Search
Hamilton sent out a letter to East Continent in search of a wife:
"She must be young, pretty(a good shape is important), reasonable (a little education will suffice), noble-bred, chaste, and tender (I am enthusiastic about fidelity and fondness), good personality, and no love of money or nagging, for an economist and a nagger are equal evils. Politically I am indifferent of her opinions for I think I have arguments that will easily convert her to mine. As far as religion, moderate opinions will satisfy me. She must believe in a higher power, but hate the religions of multiple gods. Though I don't risk eternal damnation for greed, money is an essential ingredient to happiness in this world and having not much of my own, nor being little interested in earning much myself, it must be that my wife, if I get one, bring enough to satisfy her own extravagant desires. You will be pleased to know that I have no antipathy to the beauties of women, and that I a willing to accept their troubles.
If you haven't met a woman that fulfills these requirements, please spread news of my search publicly and no doubt you will hear of many competitors for most of my qualifications of a wife who be glad to be candidates for someone such as me.
In describing me to others, please describe me well as you would a friend. And please understate the size of my nose. It is rather large, but there is no need to reflect on it often or frequently."
Hamilton continues to search for a wife, but he is under the belief he has been rejected by three women so far. These are Countess Moira Dubhaine(Fontan), Dame Kaylan McDowell(Fontan), Marshal Harmony Kindon(Arcaea), Count Taylin Indirik of Sanzzos(later Prime Minister of Ohnar West). He has now returned to Itorunt and will soon begin his search anew.
Jefferson
Twin of Hamilton, son of the elder Sejieda Bishamon. Began as a noble in Itorunt because the antique family book spoke highly of the place, but quickly discovered he couldn't live within a monarchy. He found a great liege in Dal, Duke of Xavax, though and tallied longer in Itorunt than planned because he felt loyalty to Dal for treating him so well. Eventually he emigrated to Beluaterra where he joined the Republic of Fwuvoghor. He ran a passive campaign for senatorship, and an active one for Minister(came in 2nd), but lost both. He was promoted to Marshal of the Fwuvoghor Madmen though.
Shortly after clearing the Republic of the monsters and undead that infested it during the Irombrozian tournament that celebrated Irombrozia's independence, Jefferson grew sick of the Republic. He stepped down saying, "I am not a marshal, but a mere rubber stamp for General Zeteo. This is not intended to accuse General Zeteo of anything, but when told I was needed to serve the Republic I thought I would be doing more than merely rubber stamping orders. I believe General Zeteo should be the marshal himself. He has my full recommendations if anyone cares to accept them.Furthermore, this realm is too full of confusing treachery lately and I do not know who to trust. I mean no ill will to anyone here, but I believe that this Republic is not suited for me anymore. My apologies to everyone here. I grew fond of many of you. My liege, Maximiliaan, I hope you understand my reasons. I will now be heading for Melhed." He was further displeased when General Zeteo insulted him, but he chose to not respond to the insults.
As he had been conversing with Consul Aldo Unti of Melhed and had been promised refuge there, he made his way there and swore an oath to Rah Arya, Senator of Tepmona. He is currently satisfied with Melhed. A week into his time in Melhed, he won an election for senatorship of Bil Havil. He composed a calendar for Melhed, though it has yet to be adopted by the Senate. Some time afterward he became Marshal of the Bearded Legion. He has acquired the unique item Tempus' Ring of Freedom, which he values for its symbolism.
He began running in a friendly campaign against Consul Aldo Unti and eventually was pleasantly surprised to have won. He doesn't expect to be in office very long due to Aldo's popularity. As he expected, Aldo regained his position of Consul. Jefferson's tenure was well-run and much was done such as a deal with Thalmarkin regarding Orde and Qual that had long been an issue between the two realms, moving the law debate forward, and sending 2,000 gold to Old Grehk. In addition, he took a diplomatic journey to see an old friend and former Doge of Fronen, Cyrus Hyrhion, along with esteemed nobles of Avalon, his old home in the Republic of Fwuvoghor, and Prime Minister Strat Fender of Hetland. Now his energies are focused on the law debate.
He had to take a step away from public life due to the stress involved(ooc: three and a half months of hitchhiking). He saw his knight, Shalk Morlak, become Senator of his beloved region. He became the first non-Senator, Senate-elected ambassador, save for a short stint of removal due to Consul Aldo's poor memory. Farshar, a foreigner to Bil Havil, became Senator of Bil Havil. He ran against Consul Aldo again to offer an alternative, but so did Senator One and the opposition vote was split between them.
Sejieda
Youngest son of the elder Sejieda Bishamon and almost a clone of his father in his personality and physical attributes. Began as a noble in Pian en Luries because he recognized a family member, Duke Diodorus Exiled, from old family friends from the antique family book. Found himself banned under a clerical order and before it was resolved was attacked by his own region, army, and duchy. Fled to Melodia where he recognized another member from another old family friend, but was imprisoned in the Grand Duchy of Fissoa along the way. Eventually he made it to Melodia where he faced some tests from one of the council members. The friend of the old family friends, Hireshmont II Vellos, defended him though. He never had a unit or gold while in Melodia, and not wanting to do paid work he could only visit the locals to assist the realm. He vowed never to partake in such low action again. Soon Paisly joined Madina, and having already been in the republic of Melodia, didn't wish to be in a republic any longer.
He had loved the monarchy of Pian en Luries a lot, but was bitter about the realm's inability to fix a clerical mistake. He traveled through Shadovar, befriending a knight there and acquiring permission, and made his way to Verus Luria, but before making it found they had lost heart and given up. He sought permission to traveling through Shadovar again, but was refused permission, so his journey to the Empire of Springdale was lengthened greatly.
He finally arrived in the Empire of Springdale. He originally was a knight of Duke Cato De la Fere of Muspelheim, but soon changed allegiance to Duchess Zyrrin of Springdale. He eventually became Vice Marshal and then Marshal of the Sword and Shield, strongest army of Dwilight. The Sword and Shield were even stronger than all but Morek at its peak and only 2k CS behind Morek(which included militia). He has written a series of military letters that he hopes become known as the Sejieda Doctrine Letters. They are occasionally edited with more updated information, but the general idea behind them remains true. Emperor Neel Arya later insulted Duchess Zyrrin, Duke Cato, and Marshal Sejieda. Emperor Neel broke many traditions including removal Sejieda from command. Soon the Guardians of Springdale were created and Sejieda was reinstated as marshal.
He became part of Morek when Springdale Duchy, under Duke Sammael Haine, changed allegiance. The Guardians were also transferred to Morek. He ran for Ordermarshal that month, but while gaining several Morekian votes it was mostly a split between Springdale Duchy voting for him and Donghaiwei Duchy voting for incumbent and earl Medugnatos Stormcrow.
He continued to involve himself in Morekian politics to oppose the persecution of Torenists(as Sejieda was one) by Sanguis Astroism. He assisted Executor Sammael with the founding of Dwilight University. Eventually, he was rewarded with the position of Dean of Military Affairs and temporary Dean of Students. Sejieda eventually found a secret lover and became engaged. Unfortunately, his fiance disappeared. This, in conjunction with several other events, caused him to reconsider his life. He withdrew from politicking and concerned himself with military matters and blatant opinions rather than careful manuevering.
Fame
The Vita family is a continuation of the Bishamon Family, but their fame must be reacquired in order to prove themselves. (OOC: As a member of the development team, I can't record the fame in the same way as others because it would give knowledge of fame away.)
- Jefferson: 8 individual, 3 family
- Hamilton: 4 individual, 3 family
- Sejieda: 2 individual, 3 family
