History
Edmund Irving Steinjager was born to Leopoldo Steinjager and his wife, Grinda: daughter of a wealthy merchant. Though Edmund's parents had a loveless arranged marriage, very little conflict occurred. Edmund's family was wealthy enough to provide an education for the boy, who quickly learned to read. He spent much of his time in the library; not because he was some sort of special snowflake who loved reading and self-enlightenment, rather because the way in which the political system worked and could be exploited fascinated young Edmund. He began to neglect his studies to read about various political scandals, wars, and policy errors, until it reached the point in which his father became enraged. His father was a rational, yet strict man, and his punishment left Edmund with feelings of resentment. Eventually, the pig-headedness of Edmund's father sullied his policies, for the harsh nature of the legislation led to protests and riots. Amidst the sociopolitical turmoil, Edmund carefully monitored the actions of his father and of his father's employees, noting the strategies used to defend against those attempting to steal power. Upon his father's death, Edmund relaxed some of his father's policies, yet being in a new position after whitnessing his land in revolt caused Edmund to become both extremely paranoid and very spiteful toward people drunk on power who exploit the system (the very same types of people that used to fascinate him), but he himself quickly succumbed to the alluring embrace of the power and began to take advantage of it as to eliminate any opposition, quickly transforming the region from a once-prosperous trading territory to a militaristic one. He still made a ton of money through trade via the port cities, yet immigration greatly decreased, and many people emigrated to said port cities.

Personality & Traits
Edmund grew up as a curious child with a special interest in the many ways in which one can gain political power. Upon receiving his position as Warden of Tiratir, he became extremely paranoid and obsessed with securing his power. Despite this, he is far from being an evil, self-obsessed tyrant; Edmund generally treats others with great respect superfluous courteously.
