Ryker J. Everstone, born 1589, died (biologically) in 1671, is a Shirerithian nobleman and statesman. Reigned as Kaiser Redquill of Shireroth (1617–1620), Regent for Kaiser Ayreon IV (1654–1656). Associated heavily with Goldshire, he was its Duke (1614–1623), Grand Duke (1629–1632), and King (1650- ). Instrumental in the Auspicious Occasion of 1651, briefly a member of the Elwynnese Senate and government during this time.

Since his biological death in 1671, his consciousness lives on as the Szodar (head of state) of the Sovereign Confederation.

Origins

TBA

Kaisership (1617–1620)

Ryker ruled as the 144th Kaiser of Shireroth under the regnal name of Redquill. He oversaw the Kildare Incident and established the Imperial Bloodline of Redquill.

Kaiser Redquill began his reign immediately prior to Kildare's Declaration of Independence and controlled the movement which followed as best he could. No war was ever declared or fought between Shireroth and the Apollonian Republic of Shireroth's East (A.R.S.E.) under his administration, though a rogue MoMA did briefly take a refurbished fleet against Kildare outside of Kaiseral order. He created an entirely new Cabinet with the exception of MiniInt, Janus Eadric, and sought their council on most issues regarding the situation in the East and elsewhere.

On account of his aversion to aggressive retaliations during his reign, he has become known to history as "Redquill the Meek" in Veronian and Jing circles. In his later years, he maintained that his position was an impossible one and that his actions were the most prudent he could have exercised. Though he did give his throne to a 150-year-old hermit woman, so maybe he wasn't all there.

Coma, death, and later consciousness

Ryker entered a coma in 1656. Awoke again first in 1659 with some clear cognitive dysfunction, however. Appointed nonetheless to Arbiter of the Imperial Judex in 1666, a post he held until 1669. In 1671, he died, however his consciousness was transferred to an operating system as a so-called "Ego", the Ryker OS, which briefly inhabited Villy Esposito in a trial as to whether a human body could hold the consciousness again.

Founded the Sovereign Confederation during the Kalirion Fracture between 1671–1672 which went on to join the Elwynnese Republic ten years later in 1681. His reasons for doing so are most associated with his desire to cultivate Wintergleam's Goldshirean identity.
