Venator

Venator (George Buchanan) is a member of the National Conservative Union and he currently serves as the deputy leader of the party. He was a member of the Independent Democracy Party and had been a member of the party for many months before their dissolution. He was born in the province of Crohall in Nouville Montreal.

Early Life
George Buchanan was born on June 7, 1965 in Nouville, Montreal, Doggerland to an upper-class family of German and English descent. He enrolled at several private military academies in his youth.

Business career
After finishing law school, he began working for his father's law firm. However, upon his father's death, he was involved in a leadership dispute between him and his father's protege. He eventually won out and gained control of his father's law firm, reconciling with his rival. Although he was an accomplished lawyer, he quickly began to get tired of his job, retiring from his career as a lawyer and delving into politics.

Early Political Career
Having significant monetary capital after retiring from being a lawyer, Buchanan quickly rose to prominence in the Independent Democracy Party. After Beady took control of the party, he became the Deputy Chair of the Independent Democracy Party as no one chose to run against him. After a couple months serving as the deputy leader, Venator became disillusioned by the growing radicalism of Beady and the Independent Democracy Party. He left the Independent Democracy Party and temporarily withdrew from the political scene.

Reemergence
After a short break from politics, Buchanan returned seeking to reassemble the Independent Democracy Party after its decline and disbandment. With Prussian Dixie, he managed to remake and reform the party. Although the party had the same symbols and name as the old IDP, he and Prussian Dixie steered the party into a more moderate direction. He lost both leader and deputy-chair elections to Prussian Dixie and Beady respectively but he later became the vice-chair after Beady was ousted from the party.

Vice presidential candidate
Barge picked Venator as his running mate in the November 2021 Doggerland presidential election. Although Buchanan wasn't planning on being a vice-presidential candidate, he accepted Barge's appointment anyways. While on the campaign trail, he employed a new and creative method of political advertising that was mildly effective in swinging potential undecided voters. The Barge/Venator ticket won a plurality of the first round blowing away expectations as they were expected to be fourth place in the polls. Although they won a plurality of votes in the first round, they eventually lost to Avery Wagers in the seventh round of the presidential election.
