Uriopoges the Wiseass

Few figures in the history of the Risible Republic can claim to have as much influence as Urion Opogester, the founder of Remigrationism. He is better known by his cultic name, Uriopoges the Wiseass, which he took after his violent expulsion from the Circle of Fifths and subsequent ascension as the high priest of Teramince.

The first note of Opogester in the records of the Clamorous Convosembly is of a secretary with both exceptional eloquence and vehemence. After his election as treasurer, records in the Transactions indicate that he took advantage of this position to push his agenda of extreme slapstick and thrill pranks in the Convosembly. While Opogester had high-placed figures like Klaus DuKrampus on his side, the oppositon party headed by Undersecretary Ignatius Clivowycz succeeded in ousting him on charges of "crimes against clownhood" and banning him from the Convosembly.

These seminal events would lend shape to the often-amorphous doctrines later grouped under the heading of Remigrationism. Preaching the ephemerality of the world and the cyclical nature of our journey through it -- the "remigration" -- Opogester, now Uriopoges, united the sectarian First Quartile around the idea that the cycle of life is a carousel, carousels are more fun if they go faster, and therefore we ought to send people around it as fast as possible.

Uriopoges' crowning achievement, the construction of Megameat the Doomgoblet [sic], was beset by resistance from orthodox and unorthodox Disquietists alike, which ultimately culminated in the Battle of Quillian Square, where the Remigrationists were victorious despite heavy losses.
