Renan Demarian

Renan Demarian is a Sevician general and military commander. Known for his exploits primarily as a cavalry commander and for his bold approach to military command, Demarian is one of the most popular and well-known leaders in the Sevician army. He is also the recipient of the Grand Eagle with Wreath and Cross, Sevicia's second highest military honour.
== Background and career ==
Born just outside the city of Meirum on the ninth day of Tullena II, 681 A.S, Demarian was the second of three children, including two sisters, born to a couple of humble farmhands. Known locally for his dashing looks and his charm, he was immensely popular within his hamlet. In 698, at the age of just seventeen, Demarian signed up for the Sevician army, which had a legion stationed at a camp near Meirum. As eighteen was the legal limit to join the army, he signed up under a falsified name, and spent the next three years in various units under both his assumed name and later his real name.
He quickly became just as popular among the men of his battalion for his easy, outgoing attitude and his fierce determination when it came to military matters. By the age of 23 he had risen to the rank of Major, and a year later, in 705, he was made a general. His break as a commander came during the Enerin Uprising of 706, where Demarian was given command of the IX Legion and placed in charge of suppressing the revolt. He and fellow general Alexander Mayam defeated the rebel force and liberated the city of Enerin in just over two months, including two decisive victories in battle in which Demarian himself led from the front atop a silver horse. For his command he was awarded the Grand Eagle with Cross, Sevicia's third-highest honour.
During the Third Duscadorian-Sevician War of 707 to 708, Demarian and his legion, the "Ironsides," proved to be pivotal in tipping the balance of the war. At the battles of Peatwater Marsh and Brenner's Ford, with Demarian once again leading from the front, the Ironsides inflicted two heavy defeats on the Duscadorian eastern armies. Their valour and decisiveness at the Battle of Peatwater Marsh especially became somewhat of a legend among the rest of the army, and Demarian was awarded the highly-coveted Grand Eagle with Wreath and Cross. As of the year 713, he remains in command of his Ironsides legion.
