The following is a brief description of the Court of Kane, Clockwork Supreme, and their history leading up to the establishment of Neo Valencia
King Kane, Clockwork Supreme: Kane is the king of Neo Valencia, and is the heir the the Clockwork House, a house of famous inventors that supposedly made clockwork soldiers to bolster the men working in the Navy during the days of the Old Kingdom. They were one of the most respected noble houses during that period, and fell out of prominence when the nation became a republic in 1692. Kane, along with his father and grandfather, served in the republic's House of Lords, and it was Kane's father that successfully managed to re-establish the House of Lords as a valid governmental body, instead of the ceremonial body it had become. Kane took it a step further, and became the first Prime Minister to belong to the House of Lords, thirty years ago. After successfully leading the Valencian Military to victory over invading forces, he declared that the Valencian Republic was over, and he established the Kingdom of Neo Valencia, abolishing Parliament with the support of the Military and the House of Lords. This brings us into the modern day.
The Queen, Consort: Not much is known about Kane's wife, The Queen. She is often seen sitting besides him, in fact there is never a meeting or official duty involving King Kane that does not also include his wife by his side. She is often seen whispering in his ear, and it seems as though she may be equally as knowledgeable about the state of the world as Kane is, if not more so.
Rooke, General of the Armada: Rooke is the younger cousin of Kane, and a graduate of Mythral Military Academy. He was one of the first volunteers for the Clockwork Program, a reconditioning program developed for the use of the Valencian Military, and is a large and imposing man. He is now the General of the Armada, and also serves as Kane's current heir.
Deacon of Valencia, Spymaster and Ambassador: Deacon is the only member of Kane's Court to not have been a noble before his coup. Deacon of Valencia was the leading voice in the House of Commons, and the leader of the Armada Party, a military-backed political party that got increasing support in the House of Commons as the invasions went on. It was Deacon that, upon becoming Prime Minister, shocked the establishment politicians of the Republic by introducing and passing the resolution that made the House of Lords in charge of establishing the Prime Minister, becoming the shortest Prime Minister in the Republic's history, lasting only a mere 2 hours. Once the Kingdom was established, he became a noble of the house of Valencia.
Bishop of Aragon, Armada Inventor: A noble who immediately took a liking to the sciences, and has studied indoctrination techniques as well as forms of biological stimulation and conditioning. He is the creator of the Clockwork program, a military training program that all soldiers in the Armada go through, that leads to the loss of emotions and increased loyalty. It is rumored that Bishop also has an engineering degree, and is working on something special. He was also part of the noble coalition that worked with Kane's father and later Kane, that shifted power towards the House of Lords and then into the hands of Kane himself.
Phule of Granchia, Court Jester: Originally one of the members of the coalition that managed to bring power to Kane, he later regretted his choices. However alongside Rooke he was one of the first test subjects for the Clockwork Project. It seemingly did not work, and Phule is kept on only as a formality, as he appears to not be able to do much anymore except crack jokes. He serves as a reminder of what happens to those that fail to live up to their expectations.
