Early Life[]
Little is known about Dyer's life, except that he was born during the Pendulum Wars and survived the Locust War and Lambent Pandemic. It's possible he held a position of power during this time.
Interwar Period[]
Dyer Administration[]
In 27 A.E., Dyer was appointed interim First Minister following the death of former First Minister Anya Stroud, who had died from pregnancy complications during Minister Mina Jinn's birthing program. Immediately after her death, First Minister Dyer introduced an authoritarian leadership that was unwelcomed by many in the COG. This caused large protests, such as The White Xiphium, and mass exodus of civilians to become Outsiders and reject COG jurisdiction. First Minister Dyer was interviewed by The New Ephyran to discuss the Outsider Movement and future of walled Settlements.
Aftermath[]
It is unknown what happened to First Minister Dyer. It possible he either died or was simply an interim First Minister until a new leader could be elected. Regardless, First Minister Dyer was succeeded by Mina Jinn. First Minister Jinn continued former First Minister Dyer's approach to the government, but was also inspired by her best friend and mentor, former First Minister Anya Stroud. Numerous busts, statues, plaques, and paintings were made in his honor and held within the Government House of New Ephyra.
