Ascilla Tinaris

Grand Duchess Consort Ascilla Tinaris, Duchess of Dalovsk, is the daughter of rebellious war hero Krytos Tinaris. Her father betrayed the Kingdom to the Gretians when she was 14, she defied him and evacuated with King Daelin I and his forces. Following the war, she was adopted by the King to protect her from retribution from angry Royalists.
A skilled sailor and commander, Tinaris took command unexpectedly of a Caestoras class vessel during the Customs Dispute of 246, and held command through the Communist Crisis. In 251, she was assigned command of the exploratory destroyer corps in Eudeon.
In 250, she was married to Grigorien, son of the new Grand Duke of Kolangrad, Fyodor I. In January 254, she bore a son, Fyodor.
In 257, she gave birth to quadruplets.
In 259, during the Palovensk Revolt, she was place under house arrest with her family by the rioting workers. On December 1st, she and her children were released by the rioters after a woman intervened on their behalf, she shortly after evacuated her children to the care of her adoptive father in New Hybris, before going back to find Grigorien.
After Hybretian and Kolanski forces recaptured the city and it was ceded to Hybretia until 275, she was appointed Governor General. She held that position for 10 days before her step-brother's coup, where she was shot, and removed from power. She was rescued by a loyal soldier and nursed to health by Dr. Padrek Salov, before coming under the protection of Kyra Mardakadies, the new Hybretian Chancellor. She remained in that position for the rest of Basilean III's reign. 
When the War of the Hybretian Succession broke out, Ascilla took a vacation to visit her father-in-law and his family in Kolangrad. Without her being present to give the order, none of the troops in Palovensk could be ordered away to the war. When Fyodor was seriously injured in the Dalovskiy War, she was elected to serve as regent by the Novzaklod. 
Her early period as Duchess Regent saw her agree to peace-talks on the condition her husband, a prisoner of war, was released. He was released in poor condition, angering her, the government, and the people. After negotiations broke down with the Dalovskiy, she had Duke Ivan arrested, a minor scandal. She pursued the war with renewed vigor and intensity, and after the Battle of Dalovsk Harbor, the Dalovskiy lines began to crumble. 
Despite the end of the war, Ascilla is still serving as Duchess Regent for an unknown period of time. Fyodor I is alive, but barely so, and Grigorien still has a long path to recovery.
