Heracles the Great

Originally known as MaddHatter, he joined the game in the summer of 2007. He immediately joined the ranks of Atlantis going through their training program and quickly taking on roles within the Department of Education and Department of Trades. He soon rose up into the rank of Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs beneath Rolfcopter before being appointed to the role of Minister of Internal Affairs by the Praetor of Altantis. He served this role for nearly 8 months before stepping down and appointing his successor, Kayvan Shrike, in order for him to run for Senate. After successfully being elected to the senate, he made his intentions clear to run for Praetor, which he successfuly achieved. He served his term as Praetor before resigning from the alliance and joining the Grämlins.

During his time in Atlantis, he played a crucial role in their growth, recruiting over 150 members in the course of a month, helping them grow from an alliance of 150 members to one of well over 400 members. He also helped their internal programs elevate the alliance into the Top 10, acheiving sanction faster than nearly any other alliance in the history of CN. He also faciliated relations with Greenland Republic, and laid the foundation for a merger between the two great alliances. While the merger never took place under the flag of Atlantis, it built a lasting relationship between the two alliances that would later help lead to the merger of Hyperion into Greenland Republic.

After joining The Grämlins, he took a lesser role and took a break from the politics of the CN world. During this time, his nation was deleted due to inactivity when real life took him away for longer than expected. After approximately a 1 month break, he created a new nation and was henceforth known as Heracles the Great. He immediately rejoined The Grämlins and spent the next 8 months contributing to the alliance as a Zealot. In April of 2009, he resigned from The Grämlins to help found Kronos. As one of the original founders, along with Alden Peterson and Epiphanus, he helped bring together the founding membership, put in place the values that the alliance would stand for, and write the Charter that the alliance would use to guide their actions far into the future. Upon the announcement of their existance, Heracles was appointed to the role of Harbinger of Prosperity where he would oversee all internal affairs of the alliance.
