[Mellian]

Mellian
Position: Foreign Advisor
Age: unknown, yet looks young
Residence: Apolyton
Marital Status: Single, yet not available to certaint people

Mellian as been the Foreign Advisor for who knows how long, yet she doesn't age and no one seem to notice or care, taking it for granted that she is there and that she is the Foreign Advisor. She as a good reputation in the diplomatic community, being probably one of the few to know about what is going on in this world.

She as served for many past moderators, making her quite trustworthy. Has a lot of political, diplomatical and ideological ambitions, yet not the kind seeking power for herself. It rumoured and theorize by many foreign ambassadors in the dipomatic community to have the real power within Apolyton, that without her APolyton wouldn't have quite great Diplomatic Influence.

In a way, it is true. Currently, she as her own ring of informants and spies as she doesn't trust and have enough confidence on the Apolyton Intelligence and Espionage. She also happens to have many connections outside of Apolyton, especially with the Americans, whom she use their spies a lot within Apolyton and outside, has they have one of the best Intel service in the world...hence why she happens to know more things then Intel SHe personally as quite an friendship with America, Iroquois, French and Greece, and support Republic ideals.

In the last few decades after America proving themselves to be quite a power, and that Republic government aren't push-overs, she started to secretly support the republic movement within Apolyton with the help from America, Greece and recently France (had their revolution in the last decade or so to republic gov). Another reason why she happens to have her own espionage connections.

So, whenever she finds a prefered cirumstances, she will spark a revolution. So until then, she is careful and cautious with the other Advisors and military commanders without effecting her abilities to do her work. She tehnicly the "Good-Guy" type of person, so she is against assassinations and other atrocities. She supports Human Rights...but don't think she is a weakling or won't be able to defend herself

[Giovanni Wine]

Update on Giovanni Del Vino AKA Giovanni Wine

After the assasination of the moderator's mother, and his promotion to Chief of Staff.
Giovanni Wine is now looking at the moderator into another light.

Now he sees him like a normal average human, and he thinks that after the death of his mother, the moderator doesn't have enought cold blood to rational think of the consequences of his act.

He is now using his power to counter the moderator decisions, according to his personal beliefs and personal culture.

His main strenghts are: his great power, and because of his wisdom and culture he also has a lot of respect from his subordinates.

His main weakness: He is too old (56 years old in the 1400 wa really a lot).

FINAL UPDATE:

ex-Moderator civman I
Positions Held: Moderator, 8 months. Crown Prince, 24 years.
Born: January 18, 1376.
Died: August 19, 1400.

His father was the late Moderator Kivinonka IV. He is the 9th Moderator of the Apoheiwomid Dynasty. All of the previous Apoheiwomid Moderators have died natural deaths, so civman was somewhat lax in security against assassination, vaguely believing that he was in the Gods' favor and they will protect him.

Cause of Death: He went mildly insane when informed that the English were responsible for his mother's death. After a growing plot against him gained strength when he supported a suicidal attack on England, he lost faith in all of his advisors. He hijacked a Corvette and died in combat with an English merchant vessel.
