Jon-Lawrence Langer, the Duke of Moulton-Berlin is a member of the Old Guard of Westarctica, having been a citizen and a member of the Hereditary Nobility since 2004. His Grace was instrumental in helping build the early foundations of Westarctica and he was responsible for guiding Grand Duke Travis both as a mentor and a close aide. A sometimes controversial figure in Westarctica's history, Jon-Lawrence served as Grand Duke of Westarctica from 2008 - 2010, when his rule was overthrown in a coup led by Grand Duke Travis and the former Minister of Defense, Wolf Tulier.

Life Before Westarctica

His Grace was born in the United States in 1974.

Prior to his involvement with Westarctica, the Duke served in the United States Air Force. After several years of honorable service, he was discharged due to a disabling injury that occurred in the line of duty.

Early Career in Westarctica

Jon-Lawrence was one of the earliest citizens of Westarctica having joined on April 7, 2004, while the country was still being called the Achaean Territory. This makes his citizenship technically older than Westarctica itself. His enthusiasm for the new country project as well as his thoughtful ideas for moving Westarctica forward immediately impressed the Grand Duke and he quickly became a trusted advisor to the crown.

Duke of Moulton-Berlin

The Duchies of Moulton and Berlin were deeded to His Grace on June 4, 2005 while the Duke was serving as Westarctica's Chief Herald.

Work with foreign nations

Following the abdication of Grand Duke Travis and Grand Duke Philip's ascension to the throne, tensions in the government led many of the cabinet ministers to seek out other nations which could utilize their services.

Grand Duchy of Elsanor

In recognition of his work with the Grand Duchy of Elsanor, the Duke was granted the Duchy of Morrow.

The Duchy of Morrow is composed of five baronies divided into two earldoms. The Earldom of Harrison is comprised of three baronies: Etowah, Cherokee, and Calhoun. The Earldom of Naton is composed of two baronies: Marshall and Dekalb.

The Duchy of Morrow is located in the northern province of Elsanor, and is composed of the lands furthest north-east in the Realm. She is bordered on the North by the Tennessee River, and on the south by the lands formerly inhabited by the Chickasaw Indians. The territory was considered a promising region of Elsanor with potential exports of coal, timber, and small amounts of gold.

Dominion of British West Florida

In recognition of his work with the government of British West Florida, the Duke was granted the Barony of Baldwin.

Very little is known about the barony aside from its general location on the far western border of British West Florida.
