Ivan Krebs

Ivan Anton David Krebs is a Darnussian politician who served as the Governor General of Darnussia between 2 March 2025 and 22 April 2026, and as the leader of the National Liberal Party between 2 March 2025 and 16 February 2027, after which the party was dissolved.

Succeeding Marcus Ruben who resigned in the wake of the NLP losing their parliamentary majority after a series of severe scandals, Krebs inherited a government and party in disarray. Krebs' subsequent inability to clean-up the party and his refusal to hand over the party leadership to Marcus Manticore are seen as major blunders which ultimately resulted in the party disintegrating.

In January 2026, months before the crucial general election in which the NLP stood to lose power for the first time ever, Manticore demanded that Krebs stand down as leader, which he refused to do. The NLP were then badly beaten in the election, resulting in a Socialist administration, which in turn led to the abolition of the Darnussian First Republic and the complete destruction of the NLP, as both the party's right and centrist wings broke off to form the Darnussian National Front and the Yeudi-Hosian Alliance of Patriots respectively.

Krebs was left with a rump party of just two delegates and a tiny membership. In February 2027, the now-tiny NLP voted to dissolve itself, thus bringing to an end the single most powerful political organisation in Darnussian history. Krebs is generally regarded by scholars as the worst Governor General in Darnussian history.
