Magnus St. Sere

He was a slender, unassuming man with platinum-blonde hair and intense pale blue eyes that gave him the appearance of an elven scholar straight out of a fantasy novel. Magnus had spidery fingers the seemed to contradict his mild-mannered demeanor. He preferred rimless spectacles for correction, as his deficiencies in eyesight were very slight. Magnus would turn from wallflower to showman when given an audience. He'd come alive with a hearty laugh and a booming voice. 

Despite his unassuming appearance, Magnus was an unparalleled inventor and entrepreneur who amassed an incredible fortune through his 17,000 patents and business ventures. His reputation drew comparisons to great innovators like Ford and Edison, and by the year 2026, he had become the world's 6th trillionaire at 20 years old. 

From his Wikipedia page: "Count Magnus St. Sere is among the most brilliant and innovative thinkers of his generation, with a level of intelligence that is truly exceptional. His IQ score, as tested by the WAIS-IV, is estimated to be in the range of 160-180, which places him in the uppermost tier of intellectual functioning. 

Furthermore, some of Magnus's greatest strengths as an inventor and entrepreneur lie in his ability to think outside the box, to create solutions to problems that others may overlook, and to anticipate future trends before they arrive. He consistently challenges himself and others to think bigger and more creatively, and does not shy away from taking calculated risks in pursuit of his goals. In short, Magnus is a true visionary whose intellect and determination have propelled him to great heights of success and influence."

When his advisors informed him about the coming collapse, Magnus listened, learned, and believed. He invested his whole wealth into purchasing Langeland, a small Danish resort island that he transformed into a strategic stronghold and semi-sovereign country: The Præfekturet Langeland under Danmark. Once with a population of 18,000, now it is a secure, self-sustaining community of 4,500 hand-picked guards, servants, scientists and farmers.

Langeland was the perfect location to weather the first collapse, thanks to its advanced infrastructure and strategic location. Magnus St. Sere and his team had added state-of-the-art fiber-optic internet cables, satellite uplinks, and an advanced missile defense system to the island. It was on Langeland that Ceres, the pyramid ship, was constructed by Magnus and his team. After the completion of Ceres, the citizens held their first election for a Sovereign.

Magnus and Helena, the Nigerian model and author, were married when he was 15 years old, and they have remained together ever since. Their daughter Ångströmellé Magnus St. Sere was born in Fæstning Hel on Aug 4th, 2038.
