Description
Portrait of Gold Certificate. Second Generation of the Rich Family and Wealthy Industrialist, resident of Canterlot. Painted in 1894.
Born as the son of Seed Investor. Gold, despite his background as being the son of a man who built up an impressive fortune following the end of the Civil War at the age of 20, experienced a childhood where he was raised muched like everyone else, albeit slightly harsher than normal since his father didn’t believe that spoiling his son would ensure a long lasting family legacy and wanted him to experience the hardships in life first before he could go on an carry on the family business and fortune. Under Seed Investor’s supervision, he was mentored thoroughly in the running of the family business as well as all the intricacies that came with it and in the arts of finance. One of which being never to let his own greed override his judgement and personality. These experiences would contribute to his rather cold and austere personality later in life. His clients and associates described as as being a rather intimidating character. Hardened, serious, and being constantly concerned about his family legacy and the long term survival of his industrial empire.
At the age of 20, he would invest in and start up a business of drilling for and selling oil. This and other ventures would contribute to the expansion of the Rich Family’s fortune. The Other Ventures he would go on to run, were several mining operations, A Steel Mill, A Railroad Company, The Canterlot & Washington Railway, founded in the 1870’s but purchased by him in the 1890’s, and the Purchase of Everfree Lumber & Mining Company in 1904. Some of His contributions to the City being the provision of funding for the construction of Crystal Prep Academy in 1901, the construction of the second incarnation of Canterlot Train Station. , and the construction of Trottingham Tower in the Financial District in 1911
An OC serving as an Original ancestor as in the human world, i reckon that Ancestries of certain characters would be different from their Equestrian counterparts so as to conform with Human history in that world, specifically US history.
Think of him as being the EqG equivalent to:
