Warren Voolde

Warren Maurice Voolde (April 7, 1897 - October 22, 1970) was a Dutch activist and painter who was famous for his many protests during the Nazi occupation of Brunant.

Early life
Voolde was born around 9:00 PM on April 7, 1897 in Brunantstad to Paul Addrik Voolde, a navy officer and Martha Essen Claude-Voolde, a housewife. Voolde later got a brother in 1900 named Paul and another brother in 1903 named Addrik. As a child, Voolde had many breathing problems like asthma and bronchitis, so he always stayed inside reading biographies about Ambroos I and James Carrington, always admiring their audacity and courage. Once he was about 13, Voolde recovered and went to a Catholic school. He graduated at the age of 17 with highest honors and went to Grijzestad University, graduating in 1919 with a degree in Theology. With support from his father and brothers, Voolde went to study at Cape Cross Military Institute, barely getting in due to his frail appearance and since he was from Brunantstad. He graduated in 1923 the last of his class with a degree in Medieval History. Voolde then went to the Vatican to study even more about theology, living in Rome for 5 years.

Middle life
During those 5 years living in Rome, Voolde met Ada Bianca Volvidi, a history major. They married in 1925, and a year later they had a son named Willem. In 1928, they had a daughter named Matilda, and they decided to move to Grijzestad. Things were peaceful for a while, as Voolde was a painter, supplying enough money to afford a decent home, Voolde had a son in 1931 named Paul, he had another daughter in 1934 named Penna, and the last child he had was a son born in 1937 named Julius. In 1941, the Nazis invaded Brunant and at first, things didn't change that much for the Vooldes, as they lived in the upper class section of Grizjestad, but one day, the Nazis came into his house and kidnapped his wife, as she was a Jew, and they later raped her and killed her.Voolde then joined the Underground Revolution in 1942 as a speaker and protester, as he was famous for running around the capital, holding a sign that said "WE DESERVE MORE!" and nearly getting himself killed many times. When the Nazis were pushed out, Voolde said, "No man will ever forget this period, as this period made man die."

Later life
Voolde wrote many best selling books about his experiences with the Nazis, and saw his children get married and have sons and daughters. Voolde died in 1970 as a result of extreme pneumonia.
