3rd VP: Rilen Hãskílis

He became the unofficial Tshatèltõn of Oipienta after he took complete control of the Republic of Oipienta with major influence of Jasin in writing the Constitution of the Second Republic of Oipienta. He was 54 years old when he dissolved the senate, 82 when he left the presidency and 84 when he died. He was born in 1829 and was the Vice Tsĩvgalè to Rèxtèxvèch. He was in the Senate of the Republic since January 10, 1861 after he was elected in by Myosa on October 25, 1860. He was for the invasion of Javicia was the writer of the State Act.

During the Rextèxec Term, various social and labor reforms were passed but when Tothek came into power, he began quickly reversing them. He banned labor unions (allowed since the 1850s), banned women from working industrial jobs (Rextèxec reform [RR]), increased work day to 18 hours from the reformed 16 hours (RR), removed newly granted rights to territories and reservations (RR), and allowed children ages 5 and up to work in industrial jobs. These decisions to reverse the Rextèxec reforms were extremely unpopular but through Tothek's use of the military and application of a national curfew, he was able to disrupt a lot of revolutionary or rebel groups and areas. Women were once again restricted to the house and became more like property than people.

Initially, Tothek was not as radically oppressive as he became once he took power. He was the Vice Tsivgale for Rextèxec and before that, he was the Senator for the Myosa State and one of the most well-known Oipientian Socialist politicians in the late 19th Century. He and Rextèxec were very close friends, working together all the time in the 18th Senate of the Republic. They helped push for numerous reforms together in the name of the socialism and redesigned the Myosan State into the largest Socialist utopia essentially. However, once Rextèxec became Tsivgale, he began pushing even more reforms and doing so on the national level, not just state level. Eventually, Tothek started disliking just how many changes he was making and thus, distanced himself more from such radical choices. With the death of Rextèxec, Tothek took over and started reverting some reforms which led to worries from the Senate and the people.

After an attempted assassination in April 1883, Tothek started becoming much more radical and began using the military to crackdown on radical political crimes. He arrested over 100 people in relation to the assassination attempt and had around 40 of the executed. This eventually led to the distrust from the Senate which began blocking most of the laws Tothek had wanted to pass. He constructed a plot to cover his burning of the Constitution and this led to the arrest and execution of his main political rival, Senator Vaňèk Vorèkaš of Vulxeš, and the dissolution of the Senate, confirming Tothek's consolidation of power.

So, while not originally wanting absolute control, after the loss of his best friend, he began to lose his mind from all the stress. He disliked many of the reforms his best friend had put into place as Tsivgale and wanted to revert most in order to slow the progression to create a smoother transition. However, many people disliked his choice of reversion and attempted to kill him, leading him to lose trust in most and become more erratic. Eventually, he chose to take complete power so no one can touch him and restrict his plans of reformation.
