King of Sumer
I was the first warrior in Mesopotamia. I was born to nomadic people who lived in northern Mesopotamia. When I was young, I served an official Sumerian city-state of Kish. I later killed the king of Kish and took control of the city-state. When I took over, I gathered an army and marched through Mesopotamia, establishing an empire. An empire is a conquered land of many people and places governed by one ruler. I was the first emperor, or ruler of the empire.
In the middle of the empire, I built a Capitol state called Akkad. My empire and my people were came to be known as Akkadian. Akkadians were not the same as Sumerians. They adopted the Sumerian culture as their own. I ordered boundary pillar and city wall torn down

For the next fifty five years, I ruled over the Kish empire. He maintained his role both by force and organization. I was probably the first king in Mesopotamia to set up an army made up of paid soldiers who served for a long period of time. People became soldiers only at war. I appointed loyal nobals as governors to control conquered cities
