Lord Archibald Tapir III (1899 - 1994) was the dictator and ruler of a large herd of Tapirs from his father's death in 1924, until his own death in 1994, the longest reign of any Tapir overlord.
Early Life
[edit]Archibald was born on the 9th of November 1899, somewhere in the north of Brazil to Archibald J Tapir II (1869 - 1924) and Maria Tapir (1871 - 1945). His father was the current overlord of their herd of tapirs at the time of Archibald's birth, his mother caring for him and his 6 siblings. His father was shot by poachers in 1924, and Archibald became the new overlord of their tribe
Reign
[edit]Archibald is remembered by his herd as a stern but fair leader. In 1927, war broke out with a rival tapir herd. Archibald joined in many of the fights, sustaining an injury to the leg, giving him a permanent limp. After the war was won in 1932, Archibald's popularity increased dramatically. Another war in 1949 that lasted 12 years, and resulted in the deaths of 12,000 tapirs in the herds, hit Archibald hard. He became reclusive after a failed assassination attempt in 1969, and was seen rarely by the public. His popularity declined dramatically from 1969 until his death in 1994.
Personal Life
[edit]Archibald got married to Anna Jones (1903 - 1986) in 1935. They produced 3 children: Archibald John Tapir IV (1937 - 2009), who was Archibald's heir, Susan Tapir (1939 - 2013) and Winston T Tapir (b.1940). After Archibald's death in 1994, his son Archibald IV became the overlord of the herd. Archibald IV was killed after he fell from the palace walls in 2009, without producing an heir. Winston Tapir, Archibald IV's brother then became the lord of the tapirs, and has been for the past 5 years. Winston got married in 1962, and has had three children and 5 grandchildren.
