Biography
Robert Davis swept into Gotzborg with grand ideas for the judiciary, becoming the first Deputy Vice-Minister of State for Justice. In a matter of two weeks, he authored the Judicial Establishment Act, created the King Charles II School of Law, and wrote the extensive Code of Criminal Law. On completing his assignment with the Home Office, Davis became the Minister of State for the Foreign Office, and later he was appointed as the first Royal Chancellor of Gotzborg. In October 2004, he was appointed as the Duke of Altamore.
His wife, Angel, and daughter, Chloe, are also citizens of Gotzborg.
Davis resigned his citizenship on June 15, 2005, following a personal falling-out with His Royal Majesty, though His Royal Majesty immediately appointed him as an honorary citizen of Gotzborg and allowed him to retain all of his titles and honours, in recognition of his strong dedication to the community. At the time of his resignation, Davis was the most-decorated Gotzer in the Kingdom's history and remains one of the most decorated to this day.
Davis passed away from a lengthy battle with cancer on March 20, 2006.
