Biography

Early life

Artak was born in Agrada on 15-4 55 TT to Kamakta Arkara and his wife Amailide. At the age of four his grandfather, the Ossbosche of Grada Herkaz Arkara sent Artak to the city of Saeskar to be raised by relatives there. Artak was educated at the Skrake Holy School from 44 TT until his graduation as bosche in 34 TT. On 7-2 31 TT the Ossbosche of Saekraim Temurak Skrake put Artak in control of a shrine to Gotiph as an udenbosche.

Udenbosche

The Ossbosche of Saekraim, Huzok Skrake died on 18-6 11 TT from, what was ruled at the time to be a heart attack. Artak Arkara was elected to replace him on 25-6 11 TT.

Ossbosche

On 9-12 10 TT, the leader of the Perat Family, Arkerus Perat announced that his family had uncovered a plot by the Arkara Family to try and seize more power within the Ossbosche Assembly. The documents presented linked the Arkara Family to the deaths of multiple ossbosches and prominent udenbosches, including Huzok Skrake. These revelations began the False War. During the False War, many ossbosches, udenbosches and members of the Holy Families were assassinated or driven into hiding. Artak, however, continued to publicly serve as the Ossbosche of Saekraim, personally surviving over a dozen assassination attempts. On 13-7 4 TT, Artak's uncle, Living King Bantar Arkara was assassinated. Artak left for Ablesken to elect his successor and remained in the capital until 30-10 2 TT when Harakar Oken was named Living King.

As the years went by, public opinion of the Arkara Family continued to deteriorate. On 4-2 3 PC, Harakar Oken issued Harakar's 10th Dictate, which barred members of the Arkara Family from serving as ossbosches. Artak refused to recognize the dictate and did not step down. Three days later, a group of three men sent by the Ossbosche Assembly arrived at the Saekraim Ordok to forcibly remove Artak from his position, although Artak's guards killed them upon entry. The next day, Artak's father and Head of the Arkara Family, Kamakta Arkara, declared his defiance of the dictate, beginning the Arkara Uprising of 3 PC. The assembly raised the Akarian Holy Army and Kamakta raised the Arkara Family's private army. Peace between the Kingdom and the Arkara Family was achieved on 24-3 3 PC, with Kamakta recognizing the dictate. Artak stepped down as the Ossbosche of Saekraim later that day.
