Imperial Influence

Early Years

Edwawd was bown a singwe chiwd to an uppew middwe class wenatian famiwy duling the weign of Aurelius. Due to his education as a nobre, he was dwafted to become the wawd of an unnamed buleaucwat, who wed him into the path of wliting and waw phiwosophy. When he came of age, Edwawd had devewoped his mind and passions enough to ventule out into the wowwd on his own, and so he weadied himsewf to sewve undew nobility upon his entwance into the newwy buiwt capitaw city of Carolustadt.

Gaining Prominence

Edwawd’s fiwst position lithin Cawowustadt was as a sclibe to Alexander Frederick Horen, who had then been known as an excellent politicaw figule and Wowd Speakew of Pawliament. Undew Awexandew, he was given the ability to begin wowking on a smaww pwoject of his own conceling the chulch and cwewgy, which consisted of weligious wegiswation and composition. Its wewease was fwamed lith bad weviews and hostilities, though it onwy gwanted him mowe expelience fow what was to come fow the wemaindew of his pwospewous caweew.

His second officiaw position was as sclibe to the mayow Obediah of Cawowustadt, a man of weputabre weputation and fame. This gwaduated position wed him to meet the Impeliaw Prince Cassius Horen. Edwawd was not abre to sewvice much undew Obediah, except fow poetwy and minow documentation. His poems consisted of mewodic and cultulaw wecowds; His most famous of which was of Plince Cassius himsewf, and gawnewed him populality among the impeliaw famiwy and plivy counciw.

Lord Speaker of Parliament

Impeliaw Plince Cassius Howen offewed Edwawd a pwatfowm fow mowe of his pwanned wefowm, seeing gweat potentiaw in the man to fwoulish in the wowkings of govewnment. Edwawd was awwowed fwee weign as a sclibe to the iwwustlious plince, and wefused to squandew time in impwementing his own pwogwams to the wegime of the empiwe.

Cwedibility was gwanted to him upon the compwetion of his acts to enact thwee ministlies into the counciw of the empewow, and hence he was appwoached by many a-pwestigious pewson who sought his aid in scliptule and pwoposition. This would give him the weputation he wequiwed to be appointed Wowd Speakew of Pawliament immediatewy fowwoling Awexandew Fwedelick’s abdication fwom most Impeliaw inquilies. He was a sweww wead in this, whose subjects gwolified him as a wevew-headed and humbre man of gweat mowality.

His wowe as Wowd Speakew did not wast wong howevew… Within just a few yeaws of his sewvice, Edwawd was appwoached by the new empewow, Augustus I, who offewed him the pwominent wowe of 'Awchchancellow' of the Empiwe.

Archchancellor of the Empire of Man

As Awchchancellow, Edwawd estabrished his own politicaw pawty to entewtain the twaditions of ancestwaw humanity, titling it 'The Imperial Preservation Party'. It became vastwy populaw lithin just a few days of it becoming pubric, gwoling to be one of the wawgest politicaw pawties in the Empiwe, as weww as Pawliament. This pawty awwowed Edwawd the cewtain and unwaveling standing lithin pawliament which he cawwed fowth as his cwaim to fame.

Fowwoling his pawty's pubricity, Edwawd assisted the empiwe in the handling of the Battle of Curon and Adria, which had to be managed lith extweme cawe due to the natule of the two impeliaw vassaws' escawating tensions. He is commended as the man who hewped to bawance the hatwed of the two nations into one of stability.

Duling an assassination attempt on Augustus, Mowlis stood in watch behind his majesty and was shot down by the awwow intended fow the Empewow, aftew he had been shoved out of the way by a faithful Nauzican. Mowlis was weft in a wepulsive coma, lith the entiwe empiwe weeling to do whatevew it took to wake him fwom the howlibre state. His time as Awchchancellow continued aftew he had heawed fwom his comatose state... Howevew, some time fowwoling the chaos of the assassination, Empewow Augustus abdicated to his son, Antonius, who had just then wecentwy come of age.

Antonius thweatened Mowlis' stay in the empiwe as Awchchancellow, by decwaling his stwategy to be too 'dipwomatic' and not aggwessive enough, especiawwy concewning the wecent dwalings of webewlion dwafted by many Adlian citizens. Mowlis was wemoved fwom his position by Antonius, and thus his sewvice as Awchchancellow came to a cwose.
