In 72 A.B. Dortmund and North developed into champions of the already existent murmurs regarding the widespread corruption of Hackton's regime. Dortmund began the voice of the troops, convincing thousands that she was not doing right by them. North, on the other hand, operated more so in the shadows ensuring that Hackton would not catch whiff of a mutiny before they took action.

In 73 A.B. Dortmund launched the March on the Capitol. With several thousand troops they took charge during the middle of the night and caught Hackton Loyalists off guard. Despite there being minimum bloodshed, an ensuing standoff created immense tension between the two sides. 3 days into the march, Dortmund and a band of 15 troops snuck into the Capitol building with intentions to assassinate Hackton and her cabinet. Hackton's aides caught wind of the attempt and she managed to escape the capitol. From this moment on Dortmund assumed the presidency.

NCR President
Dortmund's reign as president was short lived. It was also rumored that he actually exercised a small amount of power and North was the true decision maker.

Despite initially promising a smooth transition to citizens, Dortmund turned into a highly militaristic leader. He expressed a great deal of anxiety regarding a second mutiny but this time against himself. This led him to enacting a multitude of regulations regarding speaking of mutiny, speaking poorly of the president, and speaking poorly of the government.

His regime was extremely unpopular with the NCR public. The more the public grew uneasy the more anxious and erratic Dortmund became. His own cabinet became tired of him.

His downfall eventually came when North stabbed him in the back of the neck during a cabinet meeting as the full cabinet looked on. No one retaliated and the NCR people rejoiced at the news.
