His Grace, the Duke of Fox Grove, August Grappin, commonly known as Duke August of Fox Grove, is a member of Westarctica's nobility. His title is not derived from any current geographic feature of Westarctica.
Westarctican Activities
August became a Westarctica citizen during GISHWHES 2016. In March of 2018, August was made a member of the nobility, as the Duke of Fox Grove. He was among the first to join the Westarctica Civilian Corps the following month. That same year, he became a moderator on the Citizens of Westarctica Facebook page.
August announced in late July of 2018 that Grand Duke Travis had approved an unofficial Saint Misha Day. This day is an informal celebration of Misha Collins, akin to a feast day for canonized saints in the Catholic or Eastern Orthodox churches. Since Misha Collins is still living, and Westarctica has no official religion, this celebration is considered a tongue-in-cheek and entirely for fun celebration of Collins, GISH, its participants, and the role all three have played in shaping Westarctica.
In December of 2018, Duke August was named the Deputy Minister of Citizenship & Immigration. In March 2019, the appointment was made official and His Grace was promoted to full Ministerial status.
Honored Artist of Westarctica
On August 25th, 2018 August was awarded the Honored Artist ribbon. The award citation read:
"...for excellence in being chosen as the Council Selection in the 2018 Westarctica Art Expo. His Grace's piece, "Chainmail Inlay of Westarctica Flag," was selected for special recognition by the Royal Council. This piece of art is an important building block in creating a culture for Westarctica. This Honor is bestowed with the utmost respect and deepest gratitude of Westarctica's leadership on this, the 25th day of August in the year Two-Thousand and Eighteen."
Personal life
August currently lives in Tennessee, where he is a writer and spends much of his free time making commissioned chainmail pieces.
