	==Early life & Education==		==Early life & Education==
	Born to a reputable Doctor father and a prominent Senator ~~Mother~~, his family was already subject to the public eye. ~~Both he~~ and his ~~Twin~~ sister Alice ~~were recognized as academic prodigies~~, ~~and he won several academic awards~~ throughout ~~his schooling~~. ~~He was 18 in~~ 2006, ~~when Darrin's Military Regime took over Eiria. That~~ same year, he started attending New Riga Research University, one of the Universities initially unaffected by the regime change.		Born to a reputable Doctor father and a prominent Senator mother, his family was already subject to the public eye. He and his twin sister [[Alice Lancaster]] established themselves early on through their Senior School coursework, with William completing a Gold Class on political identities throughout Eirian history. In 2006, the same year that Neil Darrin overthrew the Rēvs Adminisration, Lancaster started attending New Riga Research University, one of the Universities initially unaffected by the regime change. By 2009, he had completed a B3-P (with Advanced Honors) in Political Science and a Diplōm in French Studies.

	==~~Schooling and~~ Military Career==		==Military Career==
	He graduated in 2010, with a degree in Political Science and a Minor in French. By this time, he was a polylang, Speaking Eirian, English, Latvian, and French. Since Darrin's regime had limited Political career choices to working for the [[State Ministry]], in the ineffective, puppet [[Ruling Assembly]], or in the Ministry of Information were the only jobs available to him with his degree. Wanting no part of the ruling government, he took a job as a part-time translator in a French community outside Geminus.

	It was around that time that he started working with the North Geminus band of the Ēklips (Eclipse) Resistance group, a group of freedom fighters wishing for the restoration of the Republic. Membership of a group like Ēklips was strictly forbidden, ~~and punishable by death~~. Nevertheless, both him, his sister, and his older brother ~~were~~ members by 2011. ~~They~~ were ~~put into a training program for~~ a remnant of The [[Guard of the Republic]], a military intelligence ~~paramilitary group~~ that originated before the formation of the Eirian Republic. ~~All~~ three Lancaster siblings started fighting in skirmishes and operations in 2012, starting with a skirmish in Tessari Gardens.		Wanting no part in the corrupt government of the time, after graduation, Lancaster found himself a position as a translator in a French-speaking suburb of the capital. It was around that time that he started working with the North Geminus band of the Ēklips (Eclipse) Resistance group, a group of freedom fighters wishing for the restoration of the Republic. Membership of a group like Ēklips was strictly forbidden by the Kelin Sedition Law, as it was considered treason. Nevertheless, both him, his sister, and his older brother James had become members of the group by 2011. After his band of dissidents joined a larger network of resistance groups called the Banner, Lancaster and his siblings were scouted by a remnant of The[[Guard of the Republic]], a military intelligence and security force that originated before the formation of the Eirian Republic and had become incorporated into the Republic's armed forces. After a largely informal military training, the three Lancaster siblings started fighting in skirmishes and armed operations in 2012, starting with a skirmish the Tessari Gardens.

	William fought in early battles and skirmishes before the recognized start of the Eirian Civil War, serving as an aide de camp and assistant strategist to higher-ranking Guard ~~Fighters~~, before being promoted to Squad Commander and given a command position. ~~His brother had been given a Lieutenant's rank and a higher command~~, ~~and his sister earned a command around the time he did. Together they~~ fought in several battles in the Civil War, such as the Battle of New Riga, which earned him his Star of the Civilians award for ~~saving~~ non-combatants. He was recognized and commended as a strong Resistance fighter and strategist after the war ended, as well as helping with the restructure of Eirian Government.		William fought in early battles and skirmishes before the recognized start of the Eirian Civil War, serving as an aide de camp and assistant strategist to higher-ranking Guard fighters, before being promoted to Squad Commander and given a command position. Along with his siblings, Lancaster fought in several battles in the Civil War, such as the Battle of New Riga, which earned him his Star of the Civilians award for risking his life to protect non-combatants
			. He was recognized and commended as a strong Resistance fighter and strategist after the war ended, as well as helping with the restructure of Eirian Government.

	==Political Career==		==Political Career==
	Lancaster's reputation as a ~~Resistance Fighter~~ and strategist boosted him onto the political stage. With a ~~good portion~~ of ~~previous Senators either~~ having been ~~Executed under~~ Darrin's ~~Regime~~ or ~~arrested after the war for collaboration~~, the pool of ~~Potential politicians~~ was ~~greatly decimated. He quickly rose to prominence as a reserved~~, ~~passionate debater~~ and ~~standard-bearer of~~ the ~~Moderate Left~~. ~~His resistance career and young age endeared him to the Eirian public~~, ~~and~~ a ~~wave of ''Parvalaca Jēun'' (Young Government) fervor propelled him~~ to the ~~forefront of the election to replace Chancellor Mariah Kruminš~~.		Lancaster's reputation as a resistance fighter and strategist boosted him onto the political stage after the end of the Civil War in 2014. With a large number of major politicians having been killed during Darrin's regime, been collaborators, or left politics entirely, the pool of Senatorial candidates was limited, and so he was elected as the second Senator from Nōrdjura's 9th district (representing the Nōrdjura Social Democrats). During this time, he was also studying for his Meistrēta Degree in Public Policy from his undergraduate alma mater, a degree that he finished shortly before his election to the Chancellory.

	~~To Lancaster~~'~~s own surprise~~, ~~he was~~ a ~~leading candidate~~, and ~~eventually~~ won the election against conservative Senator [[Alexander Dukov]]. His policies of reconstruction and reform gained him popularity among both his party and the ~~opposition~~, ~~though his cooperative negotiation policies were criticized by~~ the ~~more progressive wings~~ of the ~~Eclipse Party at~~ the ~~time~~.		He quickly rose to prominence as a passionate debater and standard-bearer of the Moderate Left. His resistance career and young age endeared him to the Eirian public, and a wave of ''Parvalaca Jēun'' (Young Government) fervor propelled him to the forefront of the election to replace Chancellor Mariah Kruminš, who had become unpopular after a series of attempted reforms proved slow and largely ineffective. Despite the hesitance of party leaders to nominate someone so young for the executive position, a huge wave of student protests on October 17th, 2015 helped win them over.

			With a mix of support from the Young Government movement, disheartened voters looking for a change, and voters who approved of his running mate Leah Stendē, Lancaster won the election against conservative Senator [[Alexander Dukov]]. His policies of reconstruction and reform gained him popularity among both his coalition and even opposition politicians, however, his tendency to hesitate and over-negotiate bills frequently incensed the stalwarts in his party. Despite various criticism, policy analysts have generally agreed that the full reconstruction of the Eirian Republic to its pre-2006 status was accomplished largely due to the actions of Lancaster and his advisors.

			Perhaps the most controversial part of Lancaster's policy plan was his foreign affairs policy, ranging from military interventions in Huenya and Auria to the formation of the [[Union of Caxcanan States]]. Under Lancaster, the Eirian military has seen the most casualties since [[The Great War]] (not counting casualties sustained from 2006-2014). While the formation of the UCS as a defensive pact was largely seen as a solid strategic move, the inclusion of [[Milintica]] in the alliance has continued to generate a large amount of controversy.

For his administration's work to restore Eirian democratic institutions, Lancaster received the [[Haven Peace Prize]] in 2018, like his predecessor had in 2015.
