Past Carrer

White has served numerous government positons in Gevon during the timespan of the late Monarchy. Under Lord Steven, Matthew served as the Foreign Minister who constructed the Peace of Chentralia which ended the 1st Gevon War years ago. Upon Steven's death, Lord Gerald came to power and he was the one who thought he could restore the glory that was once Gevon so White had been given the positon of Foreign Minister once again but this time he was unable to construct the peace which would end the deadly 2nd Gevon War. Instead, Alexander Yonder (the current Foreign Minister under White's administration) ended up accepting the terms the Caldari State presented. Once White read those evil terms, he swore he would get revenge for Gevon's dishonor. White remained in the background under the last monarch, Lord Nolan when he was reassigned to Interior Minister once Gerald committed suicide after the end of the 2nd Gevon War and Lord Nolan took control. Only once the decree for free elections came eariler this past month did Matthew White reappeared.
