History: A hundred god-kings of Ibben ruled the island in the times before the Doom of Valyria, aggressive traders, they have on multiple times, tried to seize the Sarne's mouth, and the economic power that came with it. They also have tried many times to wrest total control of Bitterweed/Battle Bay from the Lorathi and sometimes the Norvoshi (mostly over the Axe), although these have not profited them in the slightest, and the bay remains uncontrolled by a single power. Of their more successful attempts at conquering an Essosi foothold, there is the Kingdom of the Ifequevron, which they fully subjugated under the reign of God-King Togg, perhaps one of the more successful God-Kings of Ibben if not the most successful. Nearby Ibbish was also settled. The criminals of Ibben were, and still are being sent to the town of Ib Sar, by far the largest settlement on Far Ib; here, not only common thieves, rapists, and murders are sent, but also those who speak out against the God-King, a treasonous act. So far the nation is united tenuously, but the recently ascended God-King Hroo has a penchant for cruelty and is quick to dismiss most of his duties to equally as cruel sycophants, and with tensions arising, it seems that a rebellion is slowly brewing.

Name: Gurn Kramman
Age: 26
Bio: Born the only son of one Kramman family: one of the noble families in the Port of Ibben, Gurn was constantly in contact with the previous God-King's family, and with his father and mother scraping about whatever favors they could use, received his education under the tutelage of the God-King's younger brother, a general by the name of Holger. He gained the attention of the God-King's family and quickly positioned himself into being a royal favorite. Given command of an army at the young age of 18 and sent to fight in the colonies against the encroaching Dothraki (a scheme he assumed, was hatched by people opposing him), he suffered an initial defeat, fleeing the field even. Given a second chance, he led another army and utterly defeated the Dothraki khalasar rampaging about in the colonies, although at the expense of three-fourths of his army. This price of heavy loss for victory was the usual occurrence for whatever army Gurn led against the Dothraki, but he was capable of spinning the numbers and position himself into the hearts of the colonial Ibbenese. Soon his first victory with light losses was achieved against a local rebellion, and he followed it up with the same results against a Dothraki khalasar.
Afterwards, he was appointed lord-governor of Ibbish just weeks before the death of the previous God-King. His successor Hroo was not fond of him and would attempt to isolate him away from the mainland as much as possible, but with the growing economic differences between the mainland and the colonies due to his policies, said action seems to be growing more implausible by the day, and with his cruelty and wanton dismissal of justice, poor Gurn seems to be on a collision course with something that'll change the Ibbenese nation irreversibly.
Mundane Skills: One of Ibben's most capable generals, as he is able to lead both large and small armies (personally as well) with ease and use them to their greatest potential as shown in his campaigns against the encroaching Dothraki. Although his dueling leaves a lot to be desired (poor duelist). A good diplomat and an above average administrator.
Magic (If Any): N/A
Personality: An ambivert of sorts, he prefers to listen during conversations rather than start them; give him the reins however, and he'll quickly take away the flow of the talk from you. Famously (and genuinely) charitable, he also has a penchant for justice, but is quite the liar and a ruthless man as well.
Kingdom: Ibben
Is he/she a Ruler? Yes, Lord-Governor of Ibbish and her surrounding territories.
Heir(s): Only has 1 son, Gurn.
Accepted.
