| ==Background==
| |
|
| |
|
| Often regarded or portrayed as Evil, Immortal & Insane Ardashir was Shah of Babkha on two separate occasions (2002-2003 & 2005-2007). Joining Babkha on May 29 2001 Ardashir, a British university graduate saddled with a mediocre career outside of micronations, can be said to have taken the archetype of the scheming evil Grand Vizier and explored it thoroughly, making it his own in the process of evolving from a sly Jaffar to a brutal Timur.

|
| Ardashir was been noted for his almost singular ability to start wars and conflicts of varying levels of seriousness in almost all the corners of the microworld. Perceptive and shrewd on occasion but also brutal, Ardashir was not known to suffer fools gladly, except for when they suited his purpose or he was being one himself. Ardashir allegedly "invented" Recwar in August 2001.
| |
| Constantly plotting, Ardashir's first loyalty was to [[Babkha]] which he self-identified with a great deal, but in all other regards his loyalties tended to be fluidic.

| In Babkhan politics Ardashir had been consistently on the nationalist right of the spectrum though he was not bound by ideology and had in the past made successful alliances with communists, republicans and monarchists. Very much an individual Ardashir knew his own mind and came to his own conclusions and his observations tended to be sardonic in the extreme.
| |
| Of the simulationist branch of micronationalism Ardashir tended perhaps to be in the minority when regarding recwar as the continuation of simulated politics by other means, however as he pointed out it is preferable to the alternatives such as hacking and forum deletion.
| |
| For much of his micronational career Ardashir had been hostile to the importation of roleplay into micronationalism though he was not above using elements of it when it suits his purpose. In terms of micronational culture this antipathy became almost a folk memory of an extreme xenophobia towards 'elves', infamously resulting in a series of culture wars that have affected the culture of Shireroth.
| |
| | |
| Since fighting the [[Circum-Raynor War]] in 2006, in which he died, Ardashir extended his presence into other micronations such as [[New Brittania]] where his suggestions were often carried out without any consideration for the sanity of such plans due to the almost certain eventuality of humourous conclusions. However following the mention of elves Ardashir left micronationalism for three months following the resignation of all his citizenships, including his much prized citizenship in Babkha. However following a poster campaign resembling those used to find lost pets which was carried out by [[Jeremy Hart]] Ardashir returned. At this time [[Babkha]] was in a desperate state and this was blamed on the [[Grand Commonwealth]] by many Babkhans, consequently a struggle for independance would follow which would see the return of many Babkhans from Ardashir's earlier reigns as Shah.
| |
| Eventually this struggle would be won, and for many years Ardashir could be found in Babkha in his position as Chief Justice. He also worked in the Babkhan Government overseeing the Kingdom's return to micronationalism from its hiatus in 2009 and was also known in [[Ashkenatza]] as Pachad Emet ben Mavet, where he ruled as Nohsi several times. He was also a high-ranking member of [[Antica]]'s military.
