Sumaq Willka (born 2.V.1711 AN) is a New Alexandrian historian and diplomat who has served as the ambassador of Nouvelle Alexandrie to the Benacian Union since 1760 AN, when he succeeded Yasmín Rashidi as head of the New Alexandrian mission at Chryse.[1]
A historian of Benacia by training, Willka studied at the University of Goldfield in the Kingdom of Ransenar and entered the Department of State as a specialist on Benacian affairs. He served in several New Alexandrian missions in the Benacian Union in the decades before his appointment as ambassador, and holds the Ransenari Order of the Golden Sheaf.
Early life and education
Willka was born in 1711 AN in Rimarima, a city in the southern highlands of the Wechua Nation, into a family of teachers. From 1729 AN to 1734 AN he studied history and law at the University of Goldfield, in the Ransenari capital. As the university was chiefly an institution of science and engineering, he pursued much of his historical study in the archives of Goldshire, where he also learned Præta, the Shirerithian language of the region, alongside the Istvanistani used in Union administration.
Willka married Sorcha Ó Faoláin, a Ransenari from Goldshire, in 1735 AN. The couple have two children, Yupanki and Aoife.
Scholarship
Before entering the foreign service, Willka worked as a historian of Benacia and its successor states. His principal work, The Making of the Benacian Union, traces the history of the region from the medieval duchy of Goldshire to the formation of the Benacian Union.
Diplomatic career
Willka entered the Department of State as a specialist on Benacian affairs. From 1747 AN he served as a cultural attaché at the New Alexandrian mission in Chryse, and he later advised the department on Benacian policy from Cárdenas. In 1760 AN he succeeded Yasmín Rashidi as the Federation's ambassador to the Benacian Union.
Ambassador to the Benacian Union
As ambassador, Willka's work has centered on economic relations between Nouvelle Alexandrie and the Benacian Union, and in particular on the Community of Goldfield, a Raspur Pact economic union of which both states are members and whose institutions include seats at Goldfield and Lausanne.[2] During his tenure the Ransenari crown appointed him to the Order of the Golden Sheaf.
Personal life
Willka is an adherent of the Faith of Inti, the religion of his native Wechua Nation, which has no established following in the Benacian Union; his wife was raised in the Cedrist faith. He resides in the Alexandrian district of Chryse.
He is an associate of Princess Sofia, Duchess of Hualla, a sister of King Sinchi Roca II who, like Willka, is a New Alexandrian adherent of the Faith of Inti resident in the Benacian Union; she lives at Ketsire in the Sovereign Confederation.
