Early life and political career
Verlhanz Benjamin Rothgerus was born in Aegis, South Staynes, to Setznan-born mother Valina Griffiths and father Vernon Rothgerus. Along with his older sister and parents, Verlhanz moved to Fort Jubrayn in 1926 at the age of 6. Verlhanz attended Jubrayn University and studied mathematics, which he dropped in his second year. After a year away he re-started his University life and got a Doctoral in politics. He moved away to Jersia City at the age of 25 but was unsuccessful in starting any such political career. He moved back to Fort Jubrayn two years later. During the 1953 General Election he campaigned for MP for Banaslow, Fort Jubrayn but lost out by three thousand votes. He campaigned again in the 1956 General Election and won the seat with a 56.5% majority. Verlhanz was unopposed as he became the Labour Party leader in 1987 and won the 1998 General Election with a 34 seat majority. He lost the 2005 General Election to Walter Johannes and stepped down from Labour Leader the same day. He retired from the position of MP for Banaslow, Fort Jubrayn two years later after a lengthy 51 year political career.
Marriage and descendants
Verlhanz married Mary Yune in 1947 at the age of 27 in the Cathedral of Lights in Besowene. Him and Mary had their only child, Verlhanz Rothgerus Jr at 30 and 24. In 1956, during his first year as MP for Fort Jubrayn, him and his wife had a large argument, and Mary Yune left him with their four year old child to Sani Bursil, but returned a year later. The two renewed their wedding vowels on New Years Day in 2000.
