Biography

Early life

Harakar was born in Oksken on 11-1 35 TT the first son of Johnakar and his first wife Karlal. He and his siblings were educated at Naikar Memorial School in Okenate close to their family home. Harakar attended university at the Grand Weer University in Manser. On 20-12 13 TT, Johnakar gave Harakar control over the Oksken Fishing Company offices in Manser and put him in charge of the company's operations within the city.

As the leader of the Oken Holy Family Johnakar was entitled to submit his nominee for the next Living King to the Ossbosche Assembly. The Oken Family was fairly minor within Akarian politicas and Johnakar's nominee being selected was unlikely. Johnakar himself considered his work to be more important than potentially becoming the Living King and nominated Harakar in his place. On 9-12 10 TT the Perat Family announced that they had uncovered a plot by the Arkara Family to further increase their influence over Ossbosche Assembly. The documents presented linked the Arkara Family to the deaths of multiple Ossbosches and prominent Udenbosches. These revelations began the False War. The Oken Family lacked any Ossbosches and the few Udenbosches they did have control over were of no consequence. On 13-7 4 TT Living King Bantar was assassinated. There was much debate within the Ossbosche Assembly as to who to replace Bantar with. The once esteemed Arkara Family had attempted to overthrow the assembly. Whereas the Perat Family and their allies were suspected to have been behind the assassination of Bantar. On 30-20 2 TT the Ossbosche Assembly named Harakar Living King.

Pre-calming

Harakar ascended to very precarious position. Few members of the public outside of Oksken knew much of the Oken Family. The Ossbosche Assembly had only elected him not because they thought he was the best option but simply because they couldn't elect any of the usual choices and would not really care if he were to be replaced with a Living King from another minor family. The major Holy Families were undoubtedly not happy about a minor family being granted the throne and might have been willing to have Harakar assassinated. Harakar chose not to use his limited powers immediately to allow his public popularity to grow.

Post calming

On 18-1 0 TT the seas calmed in the event called the Grand Calming. The calming opened up Akaria to the other nations of the Attu Archipelago. In the years leading up to the Grand Calming the Living King had primarily had a symbolic role in Akarian society with most of the power in the country having been given to the Ossbosche Assembly years ago. But the Assembly only had power within the osslettes which encompassed the majority of Akaria. As there were no osslettes outside of Akaria the Living King had absolute authority over anything that took place beyond the Isle of Akaria. Upon making contact with other nations Harakar decided to attempt to establish friendly relations with his neighbours.

On 23-4 0 TT Harakar and Yyme of Utlia agreed to a trade deal. Utlia would provide the Oken Family with coal in exchange for a variety of acids. This furthered Akaria-Utlia relations.

On 29-7 O TT Harakar and Casi Fromatica of the Caesic Federation drafted a trade deal. The deal would see the Caesic Federation provide the Oken Family with coal in exchange for Hydrochloric acid. The deal was officialized by the Caesic Federation on 2-8 0 TT. The deal furthered Akaria-Casea relations.
