Orik

Orik is well-known as a cunning and intellectual politician with controversial ideals of tolerance between races and a reunited Jurich nation. He served on the Lostwell Council from the age of 18, becoming the youngest consul in Lostwell's history at the age of 30, served as Prime Minister for King Roderick in the Kingdom of Antwerpen at the age of 38, and declared himself as Chancellor at the age of 39, a week after King Roderick's death.

First Recordings
The first ever record of Orik was during his rise to council member in 980 AE when several members of the council murdered another member and were promptly arrested due to Orik's testimony. The consul at the time honored Orik by granting him one of the now-open seats on the council.

Not much is known about his life before his political career. During a speech to the people of Lostwell after the end of the Order War, he tells he was born and raised in the small town and watched it progress to the prosperous city that it is now. However, no one in the city has expressed recognizing him as a child, and his parents are unknown to anyone but presumably himself.

Council Member
Orik fought countless political battles during his 12 years on the Council, many of them an uphill battle due to his young age and apparent naivety. His first ever proposal, an open immigration reform, was struck down almost immediately for seemingly no other reason than as a rejection to Orik himself. Despite this, he managed to win a surprising amount of support over time.

As he aged, he gained experience and started winning most political battles of his own. During this period, his political opponents became significantly lessened while his allies grew exponentially. Several of his previously more vocal opponents also became some of his most fervent supporters.

Consul
At the age of 30, with 96 of the 100 council members voting for him, Orik succeeded the title of Consul in the 992AE Elections of Lostwell. With the increased influence, he began consolidating more power into the limited role of Consul, winning several large political battles with overwhelming support. During his 8 years as Consul, he managed to increase immigration into the city, expand the local trade industry, and decrease crime and the local influence of the Galent League.
