Name: Joseph D'Amato
Age: 40
Nationality: American

Bio: Joseph D'Amato, a somewhat distant relative of a former New York Senator, was raised in an upper middleclass life in Manhattan, and he Columbia University.  He double majored in international relations and applied economics.  Although he did not graduate at the top of his class, Joseph D'Amato had the benefit of connections within New York City to land himself a job in the diplomatic service.  

He worked under a mentor, a second generation immigrant to the United States from Al Mitras who took a liking to D'Amato after an introduction by some lobbyists and other political figures in New York.  In the end, D'Amato was chosen to work as an ambassador on a mission to Al Mitras during the late Khalil Administration, making connections during Yusuf's transition to power.  

In 2012 D'Amato took the lead in American relations with Al Mitras.  He has done all he can over the past years to ensure favorable trade between the two nations and the maintenance of the Khalij Alrumaan Naval Base.  Within the royal family he has connections, and his entire career has centered around the oil trade for the United States.  He now resides in the American Embassy, unprepared for the strife that is to come.

NOTE: I am extremely interested in this rp and would love to be a part of it.  I just joined the guild recently, so any criticism on my grammar and character are welcome.  Also, let me know if I wrote too much or too little here, I am not great with finding that balance.  Let me know if you wouldn't mind counting me in!
