Contents
Imperial Influence
Early Years
Edward was born a single child to an upper middle class renatian family during the reign of Aurelius. Due to his education as a noble, he was drafted to become the ward of an unnamed bureaucrat, who led him into the path of writing and law philosophy. When he came of age, Edward had developed his mind and passions enough to venture out into the world on his own, and so he readied himself to serve under nobility upon his entrance into the newly built capital city of Carolustadt.
Gaining Prominence
Edward’s first position within Carolustadt was as a scribe to Alexander Frederick Horen, who had then been known as an excellent political figure and Lord Speaker of Parliament. Under Alexander, he was given the ability to begin working on a small project of his own concering the church and clergy, which consisted of religious legislation and composition. Its release was flamed with bad reviews and hostilities, though it only granted him more experience for what was to come for the remainder of his prosperous career.
His second official position was as scribe to the mayor Obediah of Carolustadt, a man of reputable reputation and fame. This graduated position led him to meet the Imperial Prince Cassius Horen. Edward was not able to service much under Obediah, except for poetry and minor documentation. His poems consisted of melodic and cultural records; His most famous of which was of Prince Cassius himself, and garnered him popularity among the imperial family and privy council.
Lord Speaker of Parliament
Imperial Prince Cassius Horen offered Edward a platform for more of his planned reform, seeing great potential in the man to flourish in the workings of government. Edward was allowed free reign as a scribe to the illustrious prince, and refused to squander time in implementing his own programs to the regime of the empire.
Credibility was granted to him upon the completion of his acts to enact three ministries into the council of the emperor, and hence he was approached by many a-prestigious person who sought his aid in scripture and proposition. This would give him the reputation he required to be appointed Lord Speaker of Parliament immediately following Alexander Frederick’s abdication from most Imperial inquiries. He was a swell lead in this, whose subjects glorified him as a level-headed and humble man of great morality.
His role as Lord Speaker did not last long however… Within just a few years of his service, Edward was approached by the new emperor, Augustus I, who offered him the prominent role of 'Archchancellor' of the Empire.
Archchancellor of the Empire of Man
As Archchancellor, Edward established his own political party to entertain the traditions of ancestral humanity, titling it the 'Imperial Preservation Party'. It became vastly popular within just a few days of it becoming public, growing to be one of the largest political parties in the Empire, as well as Parliament. This party allowed Edward the certain and unwavering standing within parliament which he called forth as his claim to fame.
Following his party's publicity, Edward assisted the empire in the handling of the Battle of Curon and Adria, which had to be managed with extreme care due to the nature of the two imperial vassals' escalating tensions. He is commended as the man who helped to balance the hatred of the two nations into one of stability.
During an assassination attempt on Augustus, Morris stood in watch behind his majesty and was shot down by the arrow intended for the Emperor, after he had been shoved out of the way by a faithful Nauzican. Morris was left in a repulsive coma, with the entire empire reeling to do whatever it took to wake him from the horrible state. His time as Archchancellor continued after he had healed from his comatose state... However, some time following the chaos of the assassination, Emperor Augustus abdicated to his son, Antonius, who had just then recently come of age.
Antonius threatened Morris' stay in the empire as Archchancellor, by declaring his strategy to be too 'diplomatic' and not aggressive enough, especially concerning the recent drawings of rebellion drafted by many Adrian citizens. Morris was removed from his position by Antonius, and thus his service as Archchancellor came to a close.
Post-Imperial Influence
Vice-Chancellor of Courtly Affairs
Edward Morris settled himself first within the Duchy of Adria, tending to matters of the palace and court. His effort directed the Duke to bestow upon him the Vice Chancellorship of Courtly Affairs, an empty title that allowed him prestige in the court of Adria, which lacked sprucing up.
Speaker of the Haeseni Duma
Edward also assisted in the creation of the Duma of Haense, which permitted him to ascend to the position as speaker of the aforementioned, seeing as he had done well to establish it. He impressed many in this, as he had vast experience with it as Speaker of Parliament preceding his arch-chancellorship.
Governor of Adria
Upon the abdication of Duke Paul to King Marius II of Haense, there needed to be a buffer between Haense and Adria placed, in order to correctly integrate Adria into Haense's structure. Seeing as Edward had been given public roles in either of the two, he was made temporary Governor of Adria, until the return of King Marius from outside exertions. Edward presided over Adrian politics and the transgressions of Adrian people with those of Haense, ensuring peace was sought as they came to be allied via their righteous king.
