Lysander Cavis II

Lysander Cavis II was the third Scauv leader after his father Scavor Cavis and step-father Gordun. He was named after his grandfather Lysander Cavis, who's death inspired the liberation movement that led to the formation of independent Scavoran.
Cavis was groomed by his step-father Gordun to be the leader of Scavoran from an early age, and in 57 AE he was elected by the Scauv council, with persuasion from Gordun, to lead the nation upon Gordun's resignation. Akarv and Fallnavor's Near War had just ended, and it seemed as if the world would enter an era of peace, perfect for a young and fresh leader.
Peace didn't last long, as Tripoly and Tedre proceeded to declare war on Akarv at the end of that year. In a sign of solidarity with their ally, Scavoran proceeded to join Akarv and Fallnavor in declaring war on the two aggressors. Scavoran's role in the war didn't last long, as after a sneak attack by Tripolian and Tedren forces on a Scauv colony in the strip Cavis ordered his troops to pull out. Scavoran's withdrawal from the war ultimately cost Akarv and Fallnavor a quick victory, and so the war went on into 59 AE.
After the war a group of Mynyyd exiles who had been wandering since the Near War arrived in Fallnavor, and were granted permanent citizenship. In an act of anti-Mynyyd sentiment, Cavis demanded that the "fugitives" be denied full citizenship, and any right to hold public office revoked. Fallnavor, now lead by James Navor II, refused their request, and the two nations entered a bitter stalemate that seemed to suggest war was imminent between the two long time rivals.
The war was delayed by Akarv attempting to keep the peace, but as the weeks went on both nations moved more and more resources to their shared border. Before anything could come of this the ongoing Nether conspiracy achieved its goal of destroying Voldrania, and in an event known as the "Fall of Voldrania" the nations were forced to flee. While the residents of Scavoran were able to escape Cavis stayed behind in order to help guard their retreat and fight against the Netheric threats. His fate remains unknown.
