"I believe in one thing only, The will of my people" - Tiron after assuming office.
Iosik Tiron was a Daravian Resistance fighter, Revolutionary, Politician and Second Komar of Daravia. Who lived during the 22nd and 23rd centuries CC in the Daravian Aru on Espa.
During the Great War Tiron was a part of the Daravian Resistance, after the end of the war he joined the Druzist Party under Arev Lucan after whoms death in 2201 CC he succeeded as Komar of Daravia, his reorganization of the Daravian Aru solidified the end of democracy and the beginning of an expansionist Daravia on Espa.
Tiron is widely considered among the most significant and influential figures of his time, Tiron was the posthumous subject of a personality cult.
==Youth==
Iosik was born in the town of Greerk in the Venzian Republic 4 years prior to the outbreak of the Great War, while ethnically Darav his family had lived in Venzia for generations. When the war broke out his father was conscripted to the west front where he would die in 2173 CC, He had no brothers or sisters.
==The Great War and Resistance==
When Iosik was 16 in 2179 CC he joined the Daravian Resistance under Arev Lucan, Arev took a particular liking to Iosik for his skilled partisan warfare
In 2183 CC Arev became head of the Resistance and Iosik was promoted to his third in command after Elim Irukotsk. During the Daravian Genocide in 2187 CC in the final stages of the Great War he assisted the resistance liberating many Daravs from the Erman Death Camps.
==End of the War and Druzist Career==
When the Erman Empire was defeated in 2189 CC and the Brezian army marched liberating into Daravia, The Erman and Venzian Empires were disbanded and a new Republic of Daravia established. However the allies failed to include the Darav lands in Venzia and Ermania into the new republic much to the dissatisfaction of the Daravs, and particularly the young Tiron.
During the election of 2193 CC Lucan won 32% of the vote and after forming a coalition with the communist party Lucan was inaugurated as the new chancellor of parliament. However Lucan still faced alot of opposition too, among which from the President.
As Lucan couped the president, Tiron was made the leader of the party and Elim Irukotsk leader of the army this was the beginning of a power struggle between the two.
As party leader Tiron was able to promote his supporters into high ranking jobs. But also to issue further orders.
After 2199 CC Lucan's health began to decline after an assassination attempt and multiple strokes over 2200 CC, In his final years Lucan had begun to grow weary of Tiron, in Mesakor he noted:
"Tiron is too crude, this quality I have found a great asset during wartime, however becomes increasingly intolerable during peacetime" - Lucan in a private letter to his Sister.
However with his health failing there was little he could do to oppose Tiron by this stage
Tiron however when he found out blamed Keth for fueling Lucans dislike for him.
Some regard this drama to have precipitated Lucans death 4 months later
==Taking Power==
When Lucan finally died on the 3th of Olomor 2201 CC, Tiron organized the state funeral against the wishes of Keth, the Tiron has his corpse embalmed and placed it within a mausoleum in Iswins's Blue Square. It was incorporated into a growing personality cult devoted to Lucan, with Weena being renamed "Lucanrok" that year.
Tiron used this opportunity to brand himself as the bearer of Lucans legacy, from now on to doubt Tiron was to doubt Lucan.
Tiron still had one noteworthy opponent though in the form of Elim Irukotsk. Tiron saw Irukotsk—whom he personally despised— as the main obstacle to his dominance within the party, and right he was as on the 9th of Malinar Irukotsk marched the army into Iswin attempting to remove the coup however failed as large parts of the army defected and Irukotsk was arrested.
==Reign of Terror==
In 2204 Tiron had many of his opponents arrested and killed, Irukotsk and Keth however escaped and fled to Brezia, Brezia's refusal to hand over the political refugees catalyzed a grow distrust of the west.
In 2208 CC Tiron issued an relief order for the Talja Famine in the historic lands of the Erman Empire, however neglecting his own citizen in the relief operation and a mass famine ensued in 2209 CC across Daravia, to make up for the total disaster he marched the army into Talja, the region was annexed into Daravia in 2213 CC.
In 2219 CC Tiron concerned about falling behind industrially ordered the 10 year plan which was to make Daravia the Industrial heartland of Sona, anyone who resisted was liable to the death penalty, as many factory workers struggled to meet increasingly unrealistic quotas, Tiron began setting up workcamps in Talja.
By 2230 however Tiron had proven successful in making Daravia the largest Exporting country of the West
In 2231 a new threat to Tirons power emerged in the form of the Lucanrok Party boss Sergk Melik, Tiron reacted with a purge of the party which say 72% of its members arrested or killed.
Tiron seized this opportunity to commence the Great Terror, over the next 3 year up to 2236 Tirons purges became increasingly severe, he executed these very methodically drawing up arrest quotes, along with numbers to be shot in each province, still overfulfillment of this was encouraged.
No one could truly sleep in peace during his reign.
==The End==
As Espa entered the 2240's Tirons terror rule began to calm down, now in his 80's he spend more time on his country retreat in Krin, and less time at the capital.
During his 80th Birthday in 2243 images of the great leader were flown over the capital, his all seeing eye being everywhere.
But at last the slope of old age cached up with him, on the 3rd of Tunajor 2249, Tiron suffered a critical heart failure and died, his funeral was an orgy of grief, the Daravs couldn't imaging going on without their father. Leaving no successor, this would result in a civil war between Beba Flevik and Nikitin Annak
