Mitchell Shelby O'Till - Born: Gregory Shelby Stihlovitch III, 2125 - Age: 37 (2157). Mitchell Shelby O'Till was the 16th President of Zokesia and leader of the Arcovii-Zokesia-Socialistia party.
Career
The great grandson of Gregory Stihlovitch, Mitchell O'Till was born to a poor Aenian family in Arcovdonia, and had a rough childhood growing up in the slums of Port Debulist. Repeatedly teased and bullied for his namesake, Gregory Stihlovitch, O'Till fled school at 17 as the Zokesian Civil War broke out and joined the Zokesian Marine Corps under the alias Mitchell O'Till, and has gone by the name ever since. Fighting in Schrschnell to regain control of the principality from the Stahl Sieg, he developed a vehment hatred for their ultranationalist rhetoric and authoritarian ways.
Not wanting to see the nation fall into Stahl Sieg hands following the invasion of North Point, Mitchell retired from the Marine Corps and led a campaign to governor of Trans-Bastia in 2150, before being propelled on the national scale during the turmoil of the 2152 Depression. His angry, passionate speechgiving made him an overnight icon in Arcovii-Zokesia, and his newly formed Arcovii-Zokesia-Socialista Party, which was built on worker's rights, social programs to rehabilitate the nations' poorest and take money out of the greedy stockholders hands.
In a bold move, he reached accross the aisle when the votes came in deadlocked, and made a deal with Winslow Harding to take the Presidency and shut the Stahl Sieg out of any position of high authority, securing the Presidency and his party's legitimacy in Arcovii-Zokesia. Mitchell O'Till's party has made multiple reforms aiding the nation's most unfortunate members and restricting the former unchained power of the military-industrial complex of Zokesia, moving from a government norm of laissez faire to a more mixed welfare state.
