Place of Birth: Daggarech  
Faction: Zygbari 
Role: Political Reformist

Biography: Every since he was a boy, being raised in the middle-class of Zygbar, Rinus was interested politically. At age 13 he gave a speech that inadvertently caused a minor insurrection. He was taken by the Zybari secret police, but convinced them of his innocence, and assured that had no intention of disturbing the peace. Miraculously, he was allowed to live, and he was taken under the wing of a foreign relations diplomat who recognized his potential. Heavily indoctrinating Rinus with Zygbari propaganda, the boy became a powerful and helpful figure to the Zygbari Dictatorship. 
    However, while he was perusing the private library of his patron, Dr. Nekariokov, he discovered an untitled book. From it, he learned of the propaganda techniques that he had fallen prey to, and the history and plan of Zygbari dictatorship. Before the truth of him being used sunk in, he discovered another (highly illegal) book; the Fall and Decline of The Roman Empire. This being an ancient old earth book, he consumed it eagerly. By that time he had discovered the true nature of the Zygbari government, and revolution sprang up in his heart. He founded a secret revolutionary group, which is currently underground, and being run in Rinus's stead. Rinus is subtly (and within the highly restrictive laws) attempting to push the Zybari government into a republic system. Shortly thereafter he married the daughter of a fellow politician (who belonged to the said society). 
Personality: He cares a great deal for the Zygbari people, and fights to defend their rights, however, he is a very fiery and passionate person, and does not take betrayal lightly. His good opinion, it is said: Once lost is lost forever. Deep down he's a resilient, 'do it yourself' kind of guy, but expresses great love and loyalty to his wife. He loves to write, but must be careful what he does write as he could be arrested for expressing his feelings too passionately. He is a great fan of poetry, and will savor any and all old Earth literature. He wishes to do to Xarkopolis to see Lucas Mars' old Earth architecture.
