Argus V

==King Argus of Ardadain, Fifth to Bear that Name==
King Argus was born in 1425 and ascended the throne 22 years ago, when his father, King Arlois, was killed during a Morrim attack. Relatively young at the time, and the eldest of two brothers, King Argus took the death of his father badly. His first act as King was to declare war on all the Morrim, be they in Rhutalath, the Wildlands, or along the border of his own land. At first the people supported this action, and the Morrim were slain in their hundreds; yet the allied Morrim of Krishkan grew wary, and threatened to revolt, and so the war was ground to a halt.
Since that time, however, the King has become a wise ruler, and is popular with most of his subjects. He has overseen the formation of many alliances, fought in the Third Holy War and the War of Vancumar, and settled trade agreements with the Pandarati. Argus is looking forward to a hopeful future, and one of peace, and is currently marshalling his forces for a final assault on the Daenorrim. Should Daenor fall,  the Kingdoms of Parzifica will live in peace.
The King is a wise ruler, loyal to his friends and ruthless with his enemies. He is popular with his men, though perhaps a little overly-fond of his food and drink. He is also a great warrior, and a veteran of many battles, and insists on leading his men personally, when duty allows it. His main weakness, however, is his wife- he loves her dearly, and is blind to any of her flaws. He once stripped Sir Mendason of all his titles for daring utter about the Queen's infidelity.
Aside from that, Argus rules well, and is on good terms with most of the other Parzifan rulers. At the age of 51 he is young for a High Man, and has possible another hundred years of rule left. King Argus is a tall man, with wide shoulders, and well-built. He has a short black beard and short hair, and is rarely seen without the King's sword, Aranidil.
