Early Life

Life in Marinicum

Mercutio Marciunjauskas

In 1896 Aleph Marciunjauskas was born in the city of Marinicum in the Socialist Republic of The Eisley. Aleph was the son of wealthy oil baron Mercutio Marciunjauskas, and the Marciunjauskas family dominated the political and economic scene in Marinicum. In 1902, when Aleph was only 6, Mercutio and his oil business became subject to a series of investigations and trials from the new President of the Socialist Republic of The Eisley, Horatio Lancus, who accused Mercutio of corruption and intereference in the 1897 and 1894 elections. As the series of public trials was ongoing, Mercutio met with Marshall of the Congress of New Illyricum, Marius Pototos, in secret to dicuss a possible escape to New Illyricum for the Marciunjauskas family. On May 3, 1903, Mercutio announced the selling of his business to the government of New Illyricum, and the Marciunjauskas family mysteriously disappeared. The family hid out in the town of Murus, near the New Illyrian border, for three weeks before they were brought to Secundia.

Life in Secundia

Soon after moving to Secundia, the Marciunjauskas family began to rise in power with the support of the government and Marius Pototos, the founder of the Vanguardist Party of New Illyricum. Mercutio was elected to the Senate of Secundia in 1905, and would soon become a member of the Congress of Secundicum. Aleph attended Paedagogian's Academy where he concentrated in political studies, he graduated cum laude in 1914. At the time of his graduation, he older brother Boal Marciunjauskas was fulfilling his compulsory military service, and Mercutio had been recently elected as Marshall of Secundia. Aleph then attended Trurnia University from 1914 to 1918, and much to his dismay, Boal died in the War of the Andaluzian Sea at the First Battle of the Claufenese Sea. Shortly after his graduation from Trurnia University with a degree in political studies, Aleph was forced to complete his military service.

Military Career

Marciunjauskas was assigned to the 96th Infantry Division at Fort Janus in Turisicum S.S, where he arrived on May 15, 1918. The division, led by Colonel Capulus Manuus, was meant to be a land defense unit, however after two months at Fort Janus the unit was reassigned to the New Illyrian Foriegn Army, which at the time was deployed to Rakhman to aid the Baobarī in the Rakhmani Civil War. Prior to embarking on the transports from Andrafolia, Marciunjauskas was promoted to Lieutenant for his exemplary tactical ability. On September 19, the division embarked on the NIS Marconus which was heading to allied Ajakanistan at Toboshi before a planned landing near Novinsk in the south of Rakhman.
