After the Fourth Succession War, he was approached by both Draconis Combine and ComStar representatives. They proposed to him their plans to create the Free Rasalhague Republic from the Rasalhague Military District. At first he feared this could be one of so many traps he faced in the past, but they won him over. In 3034 he declared himself Prince of the newly formed Republic. He then used his street savvy, other political skills gained his climbing various political movements to bring his nation together.[1]
