Daniel Ganz

Emperor Daniel I of the House of Ganz was the Emperor of Kygon from 253 until 270. He was known as the only survivor of the Ganz dynasty until his brother, and other relatives began to resurface. He lived under the assumed name Roman Kohl following the Invasion of Kygon and Kygonese Anarchy. He was brought back to the throne in 253 in the Ganz Restoration. 
== Early Life ==
Daniel was born on March 27, 200KOR in Toron, Kygon from his mother Maria. His Father was the younger brother of Emperor Markus III. Not much is known about his early life due to royal records in Greater Kygon being burnt up. He hasn't publicly stated of what happened to his family, other than that he and his mother fled from Toron, and his belief that Kordynian troops killed his entire family. Eventually he was discovered in Haven by Hybretian officers roaming around a destroyed restaurant. 
== Reign ==
Though Daniel intentionally stated that he did not want to be Emperor of Kygon during the Kygon Government Crisis of 252, he decided to join in due to heavy pressure and the support of the Hybretian Government. He eventually took control of Kygon, after countless debates on William Kaiser II's succession. He immediately redefined the government structure and announced a Semi-Constitutional Monarchy and gave more power and freedoms to his citizens. He would greatly improved the lives of millions living in Kygon during reforms. In 257, he married Queen Naria II of Inaria to reunify the Inaria and Kygon after decades of separation. Unfortunately she would die from child birth, killing his heir. This would spark the Inarian War, due to Inar claiming the succession. Daniel would go on and marry Amber I to try reunify again. After the war, Daniel and Amber would go on having five children together, with Daniel's oldest son expected to reunify Inaria and Kygon. In 260, a failed coup attempt on Daniel happened during a meeting with Novacian Chancellor Edward Madison. He survived the briefcase bomb afterwards and found out William Kaiser's son, Josef Kaiser, was the mastermind. Daniel decided to lease Haven to the Novacians after Josef's Execution. For a while nothing really special in Kygon as, Daniel had a pacifistic mindset and focused on infrastructure and ordered a nationwide road sometime in early 260. When Second Great War broke out, he made a trade deal with Gretian-Tyretian Empire and tried to remain neutral during the conflict. Though there were a few altercations, nothing really escalated during the early stages of war. However, diplomatic problems began to happened between Gretia's threats on bombing civilians and the Bombing of the Inarian Islands. Diplomatic relations would cease after Kygon's support of the Kingdom of Abadara, and the Kygon's alliance with the Ceathrar Accord. This would cause the Bombing of Luton, followed by the declaration of war against Gretia. 
Daniel died of natural causes in 270KOR, aged 70, and was succeeded by his daughter Empress Clara I following the 263 Imperial Succession Act. Category:Heads of State
