Adnaan Steven Faulkner was an Avolandian attorney, military officer, politician and diplomat. He was born on June 14th, 1927 in the small town of Pepperidge, East Australia. His mother was the daughter of a coal businessman and had mostly native Avolandian heritage while his father was born in mainland Australia and owned the family Avocado farm. They died in a 1929 car accident when Adnaan was two, so he was raised by his aunt and uncle for the rest of his childhood. After graduating from UOA and Harvard with law degrees, he became an unsuccesful rights lawyer during the Emery era. He married Riley Johan in 1954 but divorced her in 1965, 11 years later. The couple remarried in 1981, until his death. They never had children. He ditched law in 1957 to join Liam Archer's PAF movement against Edgar Valencia. He served in Infantry unites until Archer reccomended he be placed in plotting and strategy. He commanded an attack regiment during the 1962 coup d'etat. Following his service, he was offered a commission in the Avolandian Army, but declined in order to run for parliament.

His 1963 run for parliament was widely publicized, even though he lost. It is presumed he spent the next five years as a lobbyist and Fundraiser for Labour. It wasn't until he won a seat in the 1968 election that his political career started. He was reelected in 1973, 1978, and 1983. In 1974, Liam Archer, now the Prime Minister fired David Viner as Foreign Secretary and chose Faulkner as his replacement. Archer agreed to retire in 1978, after which Faulkner was selected as Labour's candidate for 1978. Labour won an unexpected plurality of seats in the Chamber, and after getting confidence and supply from the Socialist Party, passed the ten day deadlock and was elected Prime Minister.

He started his administartion by appointing Liberals to his cabinet to gain the Liberal's support when he managed the ongoing conflict with New Zealand. The coaltion failed and Faulkner was forced to sign a peace treaty in New Zealands favor. In other foreign policy, relations with India and the US improved and the Trilateral agriculture agreement was signed. He aligned Avoland with the western powers during the cold war and joined NATO. The economy was in bad shape when he was sworn in, and the market remained the same by time he left office. He wrapped up universal healthcare and paid university tuition that was started by Liam Archer ten years prior. There was low confidence in the government, and protesters sometimes looted and burned buildings. To prevent this, Faulkner tried to pass gun laws that would increase security. The motions were blocked by the Liberal majority in the Federal Council. In 1983, he faced Liberal leader Yolanda Clements in his bid for reelection. As his approval ratings were down, he was anticipated to lose once again. Instead though, the polls were correct this time as the Liberals defeated Labour in the General Election.

He refused to step down as Labour Leader, as he didn't want Deputy Leader John Angelo to become Leader of the Opposition. He convinced Angelo to resign and Shadow Enviorment Secretary L.T. Archer was chosen as the next Deputy Leader. In 1985, He resigned as leader in 1985, and Archer was chosen to succeed him. He returned to the backbenches and stood down from parliament in the 1988 election. Labour regained their majority, and LT Archer, who was also the son of former Prime Minister Liam Archer became Prime Minister. Despite leaving parliament, he was asked by Prime Minister Archer to become the Avolandian Ambassador to the United States. He spent most of his time at work in the USA for the next four years, coming home for 1 week every month to visit his family. He was returning from his September trip home back to the USA when his plane's instruments malfunctioned. The plane had no visibility in the thick fog and it crashed into a mountain near Mount Whitney, California. It is presumed he got up out of his seat to escape from the aircraft, when the plane tipped over and he hit his head. The official autopsy revealed he died of Severe Head Trauma. His body was flown back to Avoland and placed in the Adnaan Faulkner National Archive. Despite being the second Prime Minister, he predeceased Liam Archer by three years.
