Patrick III

Patrick III was born Patrick Hilarion Alessandra in a small town in North America. He spent his early life in utter obscurity untill he was appointed King of Asia by Emperor Mark I. Patrick III was appointed King of Asia on the eve of the great APROH debate, which critics say he helped to instigate. When the debate was concluded, Emperor Mark I put him in charge of Africa and the Middle East, previously domains the the rebel state claimed. He now rules his vast domain from his capital in Shanghai, and is reported to be a hands off leader.

After graduating from Armstrong, Patrick III passed into McCulloch Intermediate School, where he met several teachers and students whom he befriended. However, after graduating from the 6th grade, Patrick III disappeared from the public school system, entering into two years of homeschooling. In the summer of 2007, he resolved to attend high school, at least for a while, in order to maintain social connections. It was at Highland Park High School that he first encountered Emperor Mark I. The two became friends, however, do to the unbearable burden of having no free time due to the constraints of homework, Patrick III withdrew from high school in October of 2007, returning to his homeschool curriculum. It was not intill the fall of 2009 that he would recontact Emporer Mark I on Facebook, which would lead to his appointment as King of Asia in the Markian Empire.
