Minister Celtic

Biography
Patrick Celtic was born in Dublin, Ireland which was then a hotbed of revolution and violence due to 800 years of foreign rule. Patrick's parents sent him to private schooling in Wexford to avoid the daily riots, and to obtain a real education. At the Royal Academy of Wexford, he became interested in the philosophy of Thomas Hobbes and began to become active in school politics.

It was in University where Patrick finally developed his finesse for both war and politics. He became a member of the Young Irish Officers Association (YIOA), and began to learn about both battle and command tactics. He wrote a book entitled "My Vision" at age 20, which became an instant sensation among the Irish Revolutionaries for its denouncing of foreign occupation.

On his 22nd birthday, Ireland became engulfed in a full revolution against the foreign occupiers, and calls for support went out nationwide. No one heeded the call for support faster than did Patrick. Already well known for his literary success, Patrick flew through the ranks, and obtained the commission of Captain after only 2 years in the Irish Revolutionary Forces (IRF).

After four years of all out war, the occupiers abandoned Ireland, and retreated across the sea from whence they had come. A Revolutionary Government was set up and seated with high ranking IRF members. Though everyone expected success, the new government quickly became corrupt, and by 2015 soon became an oppressive oligarchy.

Patrick, who since the war had gone back to a life of academic solitude, again heeded the call of the people, and began an uprising against the oppressive government. He quickly garnered great support from the populous in Wexford, and slowly recieved support from the rest of the country. Support was garnered as well from foreigners in Canada and Venezuela, which led Patrick to name his forces the Canazuelan Defenders of the People (CDP). The CDP moved against the IRF with great finesse and ruthlessness. Patrick, who had taken the commission of Brigadier General (the effective head of the CDP) was present at the Siege of Dublin in 2016, and personally led the Charge of the Real Irish Cavalry into Dublin, where the oppressive government was finally deposed, and put to trial.

The ex-government members were tried and put to death as traitors of the people. In their place, the people chose Patrick Celtic to become supreme head of the nation. Patrick, realizing that the name "Ireland" reminded people of years of conflict, renamed the country "Canazuela" in honour of the CDP who fought for the freedom of the people. The capital was moved from Dublin to Wexford, and by 2018, the government officially took office.

Patrick Michael Celtic was granted the title of Minister by his government, and the constitution of Canazuela was ammended to show Patrick as the permanent head of government.

Minister Celtic, soon after realizing the threat incurred by being non-aligned, aligned Canazuela with the National Alliance for Arctic Countries (NAAC). Though not in the Arctic Circle, Minister Celtic and his people felt a strong connection to their Arctic allies that exists to this day.

Minister Celtic, who had maintained his rank of Brigadier General personally led his nation through the Second Polar War and the Great War in defence of the NAAC. Numerous threats have arisen to challenge Canazuela's dominance of the Brittanic Isles, but under Minister Celtic's leadership, none have been successful.

Adored by his people, Minister Patrick Michael Celtic currently resides in Winters Palace located in Wexford, Canazuela. He rides his steed through the city every morning to keep in touch with the people whom he governs.
