Biography

Early life

Johnakar Oken was born in Oksken on 6-6 71 TT to Adar Oken and Mynine Ikane. Johnakar was educated in the Naikar Memorial School in Okenate close to their family home. Johnakar attended the First Oken Bussiness School from from 13-2 53 TT to 13-12 47 TT.

After graduation Johnakar moved to the town of Adazete in the Ald Okenate where he estblished the Oken-Adazete Supply Shop on 17-12 47 TT. The land and the building for the shop was purchased by Johnakar's distant relative Amilate Oken in exchange for a third of the newly made company. Another third of the company was given to Johnakar's brother Kazant Oken in exchange for stocking the store with goods produced in his factory.

By 40 TT the Oken-Adazete Supply Shop, now often called the OA Supply Shop had locations in every major town in the Ald Okenate. Johnakar bought Amilate Oken's share of the company on 18-3 39 TT.

Kazant Oken died on 24-8 29 TT. By this point Kazant was the Head of the Oken Family and an Oken Family meeting was convened in Okenate to decide on his successor. Normally the winner of an Oken Family election was known beforehand but Kazant had died young and his oldest son Kuzakar was still very young. Part way through the election Kuzakar conceded and endorsed Johnakar. The election concliuded on 28-10 29 TT with Johnakar victorious. Shortly after being elected Johnakar gave the OA Supply Shop to Kuzakar.

Head of the Oken Family

As the head of the Oken Family, Johnakar was entitled to submit his nominee for the next Living King to the Ossbosche Assembly. Despite being a wealthy family the Oken Family was fairly minor within Akarian politics and Johnakar's nominee being selected was unlikely. Johnakar did not nominate himself for the position and instead nominated his six year old son Harakar. Johnakar explained in a speech that his work as the head of the Oken Family was far more important than anything that he could do as the Living King.

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. During the False War Johnakar had the Oken Family sell the major Holy Families large amounts of weapons. He also used the war to allow the Oken Family to purchase companies and properties from Holy Families who were normally uncooperative towards the Oken Family. Living King Bantar was assassinated on 13-7 4 TT. 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 30-10 2 TT the Ossbosche Assembly named Harakar Oken Living King. As the father of the Living King Johnakar became one of Harakar's closest advisors.

Johnakar was made High Director of the newly established Akarian Trade Fleet (ATF) on 23-3 0 PC. The ATF was established by Harakar Oken following the Grand Calming to allow Akaria to trade with other nations on a national level. The majority of the ships in the ATF were owned by members of the Oken Family and were being loaned to the ATF. His position as High Director gave Johnakar the power to act on Harakar's behalf in regards to trade.

Johnakar housed Harakar at his palace in Oksken during the Arkara Uprising of 2 PC.

Between 24-1 and 20-6 4 PC Harakar was confined to various hospitals throughout the Eastern Bloc for medical treatment and was unable to rule. Johnakar as both a close adviser to Harakar and his father ruled the country in his place. During this time Akaria adopted the haracalnde as their national calendar.
