Solus

Solus was the first Mwenkiongozi of the Isaevi Imperium. He is thought to have been a powerful noble in the ancient Federation of the Sun, and is believed to have been a well-known and respected general. Little is known of his true life, not even his real name (Solus is definitely a later invention, most likely by the man himself), yet what is known is that he managed to successfully overthrow the Federation, and install himself as the first emperor of a hereditary, theocratic monarchy.
The First Isaevi Imperium that he founded in 122 BC proved to be an exceptionally powerful state with him at the helm. He conquered vast swathes of land in a remarkably short time, and managed to, for the first time for an Utvervolk state, pioneer an intricate and comprehensive system of record keeping.
Perhaps his most long-lasting achievement, however, was the consolidation of the various branches of the Solus Afrimoahat faith into one. Before Solus, there were a wide variety of different interpretations of the faith, and no one had the audacity to claim to be the Sun God directly. This changed with Solus, who, through ingenious propaganda and authoritarian might, managed to convince many that he was, in fact, the earthly manifestation of the Sun God - Solus - hence the name. He also declared that all of his successors were, in fact, him also, establishing the religious line of succession that continues to the present day. Despite the vastly different degrees of talent and competency displayed by various Mwenkiongozii, the people have continued to hold onto this belief, ensuring that the Imperium, through all of its various incarnations, has continued to be stable - and also immensely difficult for foreigners to hold, as the Casorians learned during their occupation, as the people found it very difficult to imagine now being ruled by a figure who was not, in fact, their own God made manifest.
