His Lordship, the '''[[Baron of Dorrel]]''' is a diplomat in the [[Honorary Consular Corps]] of [[Westarctica]]. He also served as the [[Foreign Minister]] from 2021 - 2022. In November 2018, he attended the [[Chiefs of Mission Meeting]] in Berlin, Germany along with other members of the Diplomatic Corps. During this meeting, he received the [[Peerage of Westarctica|peerage title]] Baron of Dorrel as well as a knighthood in the [[Order of the Snowflake]]. His title was named for [[Dorrel Rock]].
The '''[[San Joaquin kit fox]]''' is the smallest member of the dog family in North America and one of several endangered species that lives within the borders of the [[Colony of Calsahara]]. In 1990, its population was estimated to be 7,000. This subspecies is still endangered, after nearly 50 years of being on the Endangered Species List. Today, much of the kit fox's remaining habitat is extremely fragmented, movement corridors are degraded or blocked, and only a few large areas of native grasslands remain on the San Joaquin Valley's perimeter in the [[Carrizo Plain]].


The Baron's work as a consul was exemplary and he opened the first physical consulate building on Westarctica's behalf in Nerja, Spain. This event was covered extensively by the local [[Westarctica in the Media|Spanish and English press]]. As a result of his efforts, the Baron was raised to the rank of Consul-General in 2019. He was unofficially appointed to the temporary role of Deputy Foreign Minister in 2020 by [[Grand Duke Travis]], although he never exercised the authority of that role.

The San Joaquin kit fox is the smallest member of the dog family in North America and one of several endangered species that lives within the borders of the Colony of Calsahara. In 1990, its population was estimated to be 7,000. This subspecies is still endangered, after nearly 50 years of being on the Endangered Species List. Today, much of the kit fox's remaining habitat is extremely fragmented, movement corridors are degraded or blocked, and only a few large areas of native grasslands remain on the San Joaquin Valley's perimeter in the Carrizo Plain.
