Edvard Amador was born on the 6th of The Grand Harvest in the year 1732 of the First Age to Henrik II Amador, Baron of Mondstadt and Tamar of Biscay. For as long as the man can remember, he's had an obsession with minas, and obtaining it. In the year Seventeen Fifty of the First Age, he became a Steward and this marked the beginning of his service to the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska. The man would continue to hold a variety of high positions related to money such as High Seneschal and Royal Treasurer. Due to his obsession with minas and actions he takes persuing it, he was dubbed the nickname 'The Tax Man', and would be known by all throughout the Kingdom. Alas, no matter how much money the man would collect no amount would ever satisfy him. Even when reaching goals that some men and women could only dream of, he still wasn't satisfied. His taste for minas knew no bounds.

Personality

Edvard is a man who prioritizes money and resources above all and acts mainly with these things in mind. He truly believes that if he makes money for himself, his family, and his Kingdom then it will bring him great happiness, and joy. Although no matter how much minas he makes, he is never satisfied. In his efforts to gain money, he's done a variety of different methods. Edvard acts without mercy in his pursuit of wealth, and has evicted orphanages, homeless shelters, countless other properties that weren't generating revenue.

The man has a deep pride in his country, and will do whatever he can to ensure that it succeeds.

Titles / Positions

Steward (1750-Present)

WIP

High Steward (FA 1758 - FA 1770) / Lord Seneschal (FA 1770 - FA 1776)

After his cousin Rennard retired from the position of High Steward in the year 1758, the Crown decided that Edvard was clearly the best choice to succeed him. During Edvard's tenure as High Steward he did wonders for the Kingdoms tax income, increasing it many times over. He was merciless in his endeavor to make the Kingdom money. Any who dared to not pay taxes were kicked out of their properties, and were left to roam the streets. Although this may seem like a terrible deed, it did indeed accomplish it's goal. Those who didn't pay taxes would be replaced by those who did. Those who paid late wouldn't pay late anymore or wouldn't pay as late because of fear of being evicted. No matter who you were, or what your circumstances were, if you couldn't pay then Edvard would take it away. Homeless shelters, holy men, orphanages, and countless other properties were evicted in the mans pursuit for money. Although he was merciless, he was not unreasonable. If you paid late with good reason, then he would extend the date before your next collection. During his time as High Steward, he also worked on a variety of projects such as the New Reza city expansion, among many others. After many years of service, in the year 1770 of the First Age, King Sigismund II noticed the mans hard work, and ascended the High Steward title to High Seneschal during the Council Reforms. From that moment on, Edvard's dedication was stronger then ever before and he continued his hard work to ensure the Kingdoms success.

Knight of the Order of Queen Maya and the Lily (FA 1769 - Present)

During his tenure as High Seneschal, his Majesty King Sigismund II bestowed Edvard Amador honorary Knighthood for his hard work in the Government. This allowed Edvard to call himself Sir Edvard Amador, and add the letters HKML after his name to show that he was His Majesties Knight of the order of Queen Maya and the Lily.

Royal Treasurer: (FA 1776 - Present)

Edvard was appointed to the position of Royal Treasurer in the year 1776 of the First Age by the Lord Regent, Konstantin Wick. His efforts as High Seneschal were recognized by Konstantin and the other Aulic Council members. So upon hearing of Edvard's planned retirement, and search of a new job, they thought that he would be the perfect fit to succeed Rennard. Once appointed, Edvard wasted no time, and quickly got to work on a new treasury ledger and started to review the current financial state of the Kingdom. The man would continue working hard as he did previously, ensuring that the Kingdom had a plentiful amounts of money and resources.

Member of the House of Commons (FA 1786 - FA 1786)

In the year of 1786 of the First Age, Edvard Amador was elected to the House of Commons, a legislative body in the Holy Orenian Empire. His hope was to ensure the interests of the Haeseni people. However, his tenure was ended abruptly. During his first session, he left halfway through to attend an important meeting with the King of Hanseti-Ruska, Josef I, and his other closest advisers and Knights. During this meeting at the Imperial Palace, their Imperial Majesties Empress Anne I and Emperor Joseph II of the Holy Orenian Empire declared the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska to be an Independent State, no longer under the Empire. This led to all the Haeseni people losing their seat in the House of Commons, thus ending the brief tenure of Edvard's time in the House of Commons.

Family

Edvard is a member of House Amador. His Father is Henrik the Second, who was the Baron of Mondstadt. He has three siblings: Ruslan II, his twin Albert, and Karl. He cared deeply about his family so he continued throughout his life to work hard to ensure that they could have a comfortable life. Ironically this need to help his family made him too busy to see them often. Sometime he would go months, or even years without seeing his family. Yet during these times, his love for his family did not falter, not even a bit.

The Tax Man Poem

This poem, called "The Tax Man" was written for Edvard in the year Seventeen Eighty Seven in the First Age. Although the name and details of the writer was lost over time.

The Tax Man,
Always got a plan.
Raise em up.
Fall em down.
Get the money.
Get the honey.
Money money money.
Tax man.
