== Early life and education ==

In 1995 when Thumim was 17, Crown Prince Noi was crowned Sultan-King [[Namdun III]] of [[Packilvania]] and [[Drakkengard]]. Elevated to the role of Crown Prince, he had to reunite with his dad. After a discussion with his father, he disowned his father because he felt that a father-son relationship was untenable. His father consented to the arrangement and their relationship became a formal one. Prince Thumim continued studying through the [[Packilvanian Armed Forces]]. His strengths were in logistics and technical areas and many of his fellow soldiers deeply respected his work ethic and skill but failed to connect with him as he was often described as cold and distant.

Thumim resigned from the military at the age of 27 in 2003. In part to make up for their broken past, Sultan Namdun III appointed Thumim to senior projects and programmes in the government, allowing him unprecedented political access and resources. Crown Prince Thumim Bedon was responsible for various infrastructure and institution building projects throughout the nation and brought many progressive and modern ideas to the running of the nation that his father administered. For instance, he was a strong advocate of the [[Pax Drone|Drone Policy]] to both relieve the poor of debt and provide the nation with endless cheap labour.

 

Prince Thumim was appointed as the Regent of Packilvania and [[Drakkengard]] by Sultan [[Namdun III]] and confirmed by the [[Council of State]] on top of and due to his role as the [[Crown Prince of Packilvania]] in 2021. During his tenure in that role, he has made several diplomatic advancements.

 

His government established a policy that would end tax exemptions for donations of art works to galleries and museums. He suspended the death penalty for people convicted of crimes such as homosexuality and transgenderism. A major controversy for his tenure was his arrest of Prince Kujil, the former Mayor of [[Kemer]] and son of Prince Sajahal, the Governor of [[Shakar]]. In October 2022, some dissidents detonated a bomb In Bingol that is believed to have been an attempt to assassinate him.

 

Thumim V ascended to the position of [[Sultan of Packilvania]] on 24 December 2022 following the abdication of his predecessor [[Namdun III]]. The first act of his reign was to send a letter via the Crescent, a state owned newspaper, (which was later distributed to international news media), stating that he planned to focus his reign on combating crime and terrorism, building institutions, fighting corruption, modernising the government, and empowering women through a Paxist lens, cutting carbon emissions and raising the country to a lower upper income nation.

 

On 30 December 2022, it was announced that he was engaged to be married to [[Saga, Duchess of Tynam]], who would be crowned Sultana of Packilvania and Queen of Drakkengard at a joint wedding and coronation on 23 January 2022.

 

It is believed that he is close friends with [[Prince Luwadeen a-Harim Bedon|Prince Luwadeen Bedon]], who has proven a dedicated ally. He spent most of his childhood living in the [[Halaler Imperial Palace]] but between 1997 and 2022, he lived in the [[Sultana's Palace]] with his mother Sultana [[Mebri]]. As of his ascension as [[Sultan of Packilvania]], he resides at the [[Bingol Royal Palace]] where official events keep him occupied. He was believed to have had a close relationship with his brother [[Prince Abuyin]] Bedon (Special Advisor to the Sultan) and [[Princess Yadika]] Bedon who is currently serving as the Minister of Natural Resources and Patron of the [[University of Bingol]]. He continues to support a variety of charitable causes namely linked to [[Paxism]] such as helping poor people make pilgrimage to the [[Memorial of the Jovian Gate]] in [[Akas Akil]]. Since attending the Coronation of Her Imperial Majesty, Emira [[Scheherazade Al Sayyed|Scheherazade]] of [[Sayyed]], he was found to romantically linked to [[Saga, Duchess of Tynam]], Main Shareholder of [[VN Strategic Communications]] and head of the Tynam [[Egendom]], whom he was formally announced to be engaged to on 30 December 2022.
