Harubal Sisa

Harubal Sisa is a Duscadorian statesman and politician who served as the ninth Presidian of Duscador from 678 to 690 A.S. An extravagant and outspoken man in his personal life, Sisa's reign was marked by periods of lavish spending on the expansion and renovation of key districts and regions in Duscador's capital, Manalpa. He served two full terms, stood for a third, and was defeated narrowly in the election.
== Background ==
Sisa was born in 649 to Manalpan nobility on the eastern side of Manalpa proper. His father was a local politician who served as his district's head councillor for more than two decades and his mother owned a series of vineyards on the hilly northernmost outskirts of the city. The oldest of three children, Sisa was groomed for politics from an early age, becoming adept in the study of literature and mathematics, a rarity for the citizens of Duscador. He was elected to serve as district councillor alongside his father in 671 A.S, and from there his career was fast-tracked to the top of Duscadorian society. A member of Duscador's ruling Council by the age of 25, Sisa stood for election for the supreme office of Presidian in 678 and won a narrow vote. Nicknamed "Harubal the Baby," usually by his detractors, he was elected to rule Duscador at the age of 29.
== Political career ==
Harubal served two full terms in office. His reign was best remembered for his brash approach to spending; in addition to hosting a number of opulent dinner parties for Duscador's wealthy elite, he oversaw the expansion and renovation of Manalpa's affluent New Haven district over a period of four years, to the cost of almost 50 million dram. His impulsive, often reckless approach to finances earned him a number of critics and detractors, and he was not particularly popular among those outside the immediate circle of Manalpa and its neighbouring provinces.
Though Duscador remained officially at peace for the length of Sisa's reign, a number of border disputes and incidents with the northern Empire of Sevicia served partially as impetus for his successor, Zephon, to declare war on Sevicia in 691, a year after Sisa had left office. Harubal served two full terms for a total of twelve years. In early 690, he stood for a third term, but was narrowly defeated in a split vote by the Council. Since then he has served in various advisor and governance roles in Manalpa, where he remains with his wife.
== Personal life ==
Sisa married Ana Malca, a noblewoman from the city of Tyno, in 670, at the age of 21, with whom he has three daughters and one son: Arina (b. 671), Maria (b. 673), Claudio (b. 674), and Mirka (b. 678). He is the father-in-law of Duscadorian admiral and recipient of the Blue Star of Duscador, Eumes Cliasma.
