Currently Active Anti-Kliian Rebel Groups and Figures of Importances
The Army of True Freedom: Generally referred to as the EVL (in Latin, Army of True Freedom is Exercitus Veri Libertas) is a group of anywhere between three hundred and one thousand members that tend to attack government buildings during important meetings of Parliament, especially if the meetings involve the Pontrius. For this reason, Parliament gatherings where the Pontrius will be present are kept very secret and generally are not held in Parliament Hall.
They were probably founded sometime in CXCVI (year 196 on the Kliian calendar).
Past Attacks:
Congelationis I, CC (January 1, 200)- Pontrius Halvius Balnae was killed along with twenty-seven members of the Parliament during a high profile meeting involving a decision about whether to further raise the Kliian tax on grain. Six days later, the EVL claimed credit for the attack and it was confirmed when the body person who set off the bomb was found and was confirmed to be Janum Vela, who was a very famous member of the EVL.
Satus-Puncto LXVII, CCIII (September 2, 203)- Pontrius Golgo Nanae assassinated by EVL member Fabius Vela, son of Janum Vela. Fabius was set to be publicly executed three days later, but the EVL set of a bomb at his prison minutes before he was to be killed, and he escaped unscathed. He is currently still sitting atop Kliia's Most Wanted list.
Since then, they've continued to set off small pipe bombs at random parliament meetings periodically, generally only killing two to five people each time. They are still an active threat, but CCIII was their last high profile attack, which was twelve years ago. The Kliian government suspects that an extremely large EVL attack may be imminent.
Quotes from EVL Members:
"You act like our rebellion is so surprising. Surely, if your leaders have such divine inspiration and knowledge, this is an attack you should've seen coming long ago."
-Fabius Vela, son of Janum Vela, on Congelationis XIV, CC (January 14, 200), talking about the attack on Parliament
"Well, I said this three years ago and I'll say it again. If the leaders of Kliia are so divinely inspired and intelligent, why oh why were they not able to prevent my assassination of your sad excuse for a Pontrius?"
-Fabius Vela in an interview with a Kliian News Network reporter hours before he was set to be executed. Of course, he wound up not being executed.
"It's just funny that anyone in Kliia acts surprised when we do what we do. I mean, come on, now. Nobody can be that dumb. It's so easy to see through the lies and propaganda that it's laughable."
-EVL leader Haglus Ferentia
"Kliia has had 215 years to brainwash its citizens and it has failed. I talk to citizens, you know? I'm not a social outcast. You can monitor what we say online and what we post on flyers, but you can't monitor what we say in real life, and believe me when I say that people say absolutely brutal things about Kliia while in their own privacy."
-EVL co-leader Naqlius Ferentia
Captivus: Captivus is a rebel rapper who seemingly came out of nowhere in CCIII right after the EVL's assassination of Golgo Nanae. He has released three albums through the black market which, despite the Kliian government's best efforts, are still circulating. It is likely that a fourth album is on the way.
Captivus, as he states very often throughout all of his albums, calls himself what he does because Captivus means prisoner or captive, and he feels like he is imprisoned in Kliia. He sings his songs in English rather than Latin, probably to further obscure who he actually is as nobody, to the government's knowledge, knows English in Kliia. His albums are sold with translation sheets so that listeners can actually understand what he is saying. It is unknown what Captivus' real identity is, but it is suspected that he could be one of four people:
He could be Garius Westus, who has a minor position of authority in the EVL.
He could be Ferae Quintius, who was a member of Kliian parliament who defected out of the country after disagreements with Pontrius Golgo Nanae.
He could be Terrence Kirby, who is an English general who is known to enjoy rap and who has spoken out against Kliia in the past. Strange planes have been seen flying over Kliia close to times where Captivus' albums' circulation peaked, and they could be British planes airdropping copies of the album to rebel groups or just random citizens. Of course, strange planes have also been reported at other times besides the albums' circulation times, so it could just be a rumor.
And lastly, he could be Fabius Vela. Vela escaped his execution, and the EVL claims that he now holds and extremely high position of authority in the EVL's ranks. It is highly likely that Captivus is Fabius Vela.
Notable Song Lyrics:
"My albums got the Pontrius battin' his eyes
Government's reelin' worse than when Nanae died."
-From Back for Another
"Well guess what, you f***in' sluts,
I ain't goin' nowhere.
So while you nuts are stuck in ruts,
I'll be flyin' through the air (this line is a major reason why it is speculated that Captivus could be Terrence Kirby)
Cliklii can suck my nuts
I don't even care!"
-From Cliklii Can Suck My Nuts
"When the EVL kills ya head guy,
It hurts doesn't it?
So when thousands of Kliians die,
You should know the pain of it!
But you don't, you encourage it!
You won't, but you should admit
that Cliklii ain't helpin ya'll at all
He's gonna be you're downfall."
-From Real Talk
"Why do you think
That when you think, you shrink?
Use your heads! It won't hurt!
Put your god to bed, and it'll probably work!"
-From Think
"Am I in the EVL?
Why does it matter?
I guess I might as well,
cause hell, I'm already in
this deep, I ain't a sheep.
What if I'm already
in though? Ya'll don't know.
Don't worry about it.
Just go to my shows. (It is suspected that Captivus holds shows in Kliia periodically. The Kliian government is trying to obtain information of when the next show is)"
-From Speculation
Thwarted Rebels
Effugere: Effugere was also a rebel music artist. He did rock n' roll mixed with electronica. He released two albums between CCX and CCXIII before being arrested during a show and publicly executed in CCXIII (two years ago).
Effugere also wrote in English, and before he was captured his identity was a mystery. After his arrest, he was revealed to be Latius Crish, who was actually a low-ranking member of Parliament at the time. Before his capture, it was speculated that he, too, could be Fabius Vela or Terrence Kirby. Effugere means "to escape." This makes sense, as he constantly voiced about how much he wanted to escape in his songs.
Notable Song Lyrics:
"Can I? Can I? Can I?
Can I leave?
"No!"
Why?
"No!"
Die!
"Go!"
That's what I thought.
F*** Kliia."
-From Can I?
"You can take my rights. (Yeah!)
You can take my bite. (Yeah!)
You can take my lights. (Yeah!)
But you will never take
My right to fight! (Yeah yeah!)"
-From Fight
"Your whole system needs us to just listen,
But what happens if we don't?
You want us to eat the propaganda you're hissin'
But what happens if we won't?"
-From What If?
"Man, I'm off my route.
I'm constantly in doubt.
Man all I want to do is just
GET THE HELL OUT!"
-From Get Out (This is the song that Effugere was singing during his show just before his arrest)
Frangebimus Kliia: Frangebimus Kliia was an advertisement used by a small group of rebels who wished to overthrow Kliia. The group didn't have a name, but they are commonly referred to as Frangebimus Kliia, as that was what was on their advertisement flyers. They were planning a full scale invasion of the Kliian Capital Building, but they were thwarted on Libertatum XXVII, CLXXXII (October 27, 182) before much damage could be done. They did manage to gun down six Parliamentary officers and set off a pipe bomb that killed a Kliia Court Justice, but overall they are pretty forgettable in history. Many Kliians have taken to called them the Deficio Rebellionis, or Failed Rebels/Failed Rebellion.
