Mayor Buzwhic

Buzwhic (Pronounced Buzz Wick) is the symbolic "Mayor" of several towns in the Holy Roman Empire. He is also a robot. Buzwhic was created in the year 3918 by scientists in Germany to serve humans in their homes, as robotic maids and butlers. Buzwhic was different however, and refused to be subservient to anyone. He felt that with his unusual level of sentience, he should be treated as a human, or at least as an equal. The scientists disagreed and as punishment, they transported him back in time to medieval Germany, where he landed in the court of Emperor Henry IV. Emperor Henry, not being able to pass up such an advanced piece of technology, helped Buzwhic adapt to life and culture of the Middle Ages, and in return Buzwhic told Emperor Henry IV what he learned about future society before he was sent away. The two grew close, and Emperor Henry IV saw Buzwhic as more than just the most advanced tech at the time, he saw him as a friend. Buzwhic shared the same sentiment. As a symbol of their friendship and Emperor Henry's great respect for Buzwhic, he made him the symbolic Mayor of several of his territories, including the capital city of Frankfart.

At the time of Buzwhic's discovery Prince Henry was around eleven and [rince Henry had just been born. The empress of the Holy Roman Empire was skeptical of Buzwhic because of the power he could hold. She never came around to his friendship as her husband did. She even requested he be banned from her funeral when she died of a head cold.

The event of Emperor Chen of China's Great Shame took place two years prior to Buzwhic's discovery. Chen was still furious at the Holy Roman Empire for this event and continued to blame Prince Henry for years. Slightly worried for his son's safety, Emperor Henry IV placed Buzwhic as Prince Henry's head guard. Prince Henry was to never leave Buzwhic's sight, and in return Buzwhic would be well compensated and receive two no territories for his mayor-ship. Between Buzwhic and his new baby brother, Prince Henry was jealous that he was not receiving as much attention as he was used too. One night when Buzwhic was in sleep mode and the castle was quiet, Prince Henry drove a sword that Buzwhic himself created with technology advancements, through him, frying his circuits. The following morning he blamed the damage on a burglar. He claimed the burglar broke in thinking the room was empty and when Buzwhic awoke to stop the burglar he stabbed him and ran away. Many people suspected that Prince Henry was the one who had killed Buzwhic but there was no way to prove that. Buzwhic has remained deactivated ever since that day, and the Holy Roman Empire continues to research ways to restore him.
