In 1991, he attended to the University of Guršaun to earn his master's degree. He was in the Progressive Youth and officially joined the NPP in 1988 during his military service. He began working with the Department of Internal Security after graduate school. He quickly rose as up the ranks, becoming the Deputy Director of the Department in 1999 and then Director in 2003. In 2009, he deposed Jon Krizhor, the sitting Chairman and President, in the Silent Coup and became the leader of the country.

Early life

Dreichren Seidert Ermák was born in Tolongen on 19 March 1965, the second oldest child of Seidert Ermák and Slite Ermák. Ermák's father, Seidert, was a surgeon and his mother, Slite, was a prominent violinist for the Tolongen Symphony Orchestra. Dreichren had two siblings; his older sister, Havia, is a lawyer and his younger brother, Slekjem, is a writer for Progressive Magazine.

Both of Dreichren's parents were members of the National Progressive Party, who enrolled all three of their children in the Progressive Youth. Ermák was extroverted and hardworking in school. He was accepted into the University of Tolongen in 1983 with a full scholarship. He earned a bachelor's degree in economics and graduated magna cum laude. In 1997, Ermák enlisted in the military as mandated by Terranilian law. He served in the army for four years (two more years than required), earning the rank of commandant. He joined the NPP while enlisted. In 1991, he left the army and attended the University of Guršaun, where he earned his master's degree in statistics.

Early political career

Rise within the NPP

Ermák began working under the Department of Internal Security (DIS) in 1993. He worked as a corruption analyst, until he was promoted to head of courruption analysis in 1997. He developed a close bond with David Nolgáf, the Deputy Director of the DES. Nolgáf retired in 1999 and recommended Ermák as his replacement. Krasgór Nerm, the Director, agreed to appoint Ermák. Former colleagues of Ermák reported that he was diligent and highly persuasive.

While working in the DES, he continued to be an active member of the NPP. He frequently attended party meetings and events. He created the Future DES Agents Club for the Progressive Youth. He joined the Progressive Guard in 1995 as a reserve officer. Slite Ermák encouraged her children to appreciate the arts, so Dreichren frequently attended concerts in Guršaun, meeting other NPP members.

Director of Internal Security

In 2003, after the death of Krasgór Nerm, Ermák was appointed as the Director of Internal Security by Chairwoman Žiel Igevin. He
