Mangrod

Mangrod is a member of the New Pacific Order and presently a part of the Pacifican Sitter Guard, Star Guard and Explosive Ordnance Disposal group. He was formerly an Imperial Ambassador within the Pacifican New Pacific Order. He is ruler of the nation of Keltinm228ki ghetto.

Nation
Keltinm228ki ghetto is a well developed nation and its citizens marvel at the astonishing advancements within their nation. Mangrod, as their ruler, follows the Pacifican Rule of the Emperor and states that he values "Comrades over Pixels".

Pre-Pacifican history
Mangrod's nation was established on 16 January 2008, and he joined the Finnish Cooperation Organization soon afterward. Within the FCO, Mangrod became a diplomat to the ODN and R&R, and Colonel of one of the Organization's six divisions. However, the FCO was not to be Mangrod's ultimate home, and after having been a member for 248 days he resigned his membership to file an application on 22 September for Pacifican membership, stating:

I felt that I need to see what's on the other side of the fence. As having been a member of only one alliance no matter how good does not give a full view of things.

He added that "it is like having slept your whole life in a homemade bed and then finally realizing that there might be something more luxurious available." His application was rapidly approved three days later.

Looking back, Mangrod feels that his application to the Order was made because: I was looking for a more stable and enjoyable place that I might even call home. And I found it on the first attempt of an alliance.

Membership of the Order
Mangrod has been a member of the Order for some two years, and in this time he has contributed in a range of areas, both defending the Order from attack and maintaining its internal operation. In July 2009, it was necessary for Mangrod to take leave for one year, maintaining a minimal presence in the Order during this period of time, but since his return in 2010 he has put great effort into serving Pacifica.

Diplomacy
For three months from 15 October 2008 to 11 January 2009, Mangrod was Imperial Ambassador to R&R, capitalizing on his experience there while he was in the FCO. In this capacity he was responsible for building relations between R&R and the Order, and updating the Pacifican government on all developments in the alliance. He was forced to resign from the Diplomatic Corps, however, in January 2009 due to a lack of time.

Internal Affairs
Mangrod participates in two internal projects of the Order, the Sitter and Star Guards, both of which he entered in July 2010. As a member of the Sitter Guard, Mangrod is responsible for running the affairs of nations whose leaders are incapacitated or otherwise unable to fulfil their duties for their nations and the Order. In the Star Guard, Mangrod helps in the maintenance of Franco's Star, a cultural symbol of the Order.

He has stated that nothing "matches the good people we have in Star Guard", although he also values the Sitter Guard as "it is directly helping another pacifican while he needs it during his leave". His contribution to the Star Guard has been particularly important, as he entered it at a time of change, where the Star was being expanded.

Military career
Over his two years at the Order, Mangrod's nation has fought, as of 14 August 2010, 24 wars for the Order and taken 24 nuclear strikes. Mangrod is a senior technician within Explosive Ordnance Disposal, responsible for disarming the nuclear weaponry of the Order's enemies. In this role he has so far disposed of two nuclear weapons, but hopes to increase his efficiency in the near future. He is a member of the Agro Ku Squad.

Mangrod feels that Armageddon was, thus far, the most important period of his career in the Order.

Influences
Mangrod has been particularly influenced by the members of the Military Command, particularly Umbrae Noctem, jgolla and navblue: these were the people of whom he has seen the most for much of the time in the Order.
