Vilhelm von Benkern (a.k.a. Sfeir Afudyakno) is a citizen of various micronations, the head of the Apollo Foundation, and arguably the biggest fan of Bill Dusch (which makes his proud participation in Babkha ironic). Macronationally, he is a resident of the City of Hammersmith & Fulham in Greater London and enjoys the Thames, Basketball, and kebabs.

[edit] Micronational Participation

Benkern started his micronational life in the Dynastic Barony of Oscarithia, in which he created and commanded the Armed Forces. After having been in the nation for a while, he entered New Brittania and ran in the General Elections flying the banner of his political party, the Pimpalicious Pink Party. He became Prime Minister. After many bumps and scrapes with the King of New Brittania, including commanding 25 heroic mosquito-esque fighters against impossible odds in the Circum-Raynor War for the United Christian States and helping with CIS affairs in the DBO and NB, Benkern kept his positions in Oscarithia and New Brittania and applied for citizenship in the Zatriarchate of Matbaa. Soon after he applied for citizenship in Jamzinia for the elections in which the Pimpalicious Pink Party recieved 5 votes, placed second. More recently, the President of the USSC, Al, left the nation in the hands of Benkern, who has already got the nation land on the Micras and two active citizens. He became Head of CIS Armed Forces at the loss of King Joe of Nova England. In September 2006 he resigned from Prime Ministration in New Brittania. He opened the White Knight Drunk Conference, to give new life to his beloved Regiment, the White Knight Guard.

Later on in his career, Benkern went on to enjoy a seat on the Administration Council of the MCS, citizenship in the Kingdom of Babkha and the Title of Prince of Shalta in New Brittania. Along with Konrad von Zeck and James Williams of Jamzinia, Benkern recently founded the Duchy of Abiwyn and subsequently became Grand Duke.

[edit] Matbaa

Benkern has been a citizen of the Zatriarchate since 20th July 2006. Upon joining Matbaa, he took the name of Sfeir Afudyakno and took up residence in Kasdim in order to pursue a career in the White Knight Guard, who's main fortress and Headquarters are located in the province. However, he soon had to move to Merdin in Turoyo Province when he was offered the position of Governor. Although he moved away from the White Knight Guard's HQ, Sfeir proceeded to be ordained in the Regiment and rose to the rank of Senechal. He continued to flourish in his Governorship and started the Turoyo Interior Fig Eden Gardens (TIFEG) Project.
