Kwatzi

Kwatzi, son of Tigraini, was one of the disputed claimants of the crown of Hunziland. He was the son of Tigraini by Tigraini's second wife Nekube, who was serving as his regent. During his second year of reign, he was overthrown in Batta, but managed to flee and set up court in Jasha, which was renamed Kwatzami in his honour. He reigned in Kwatzami during five years, but was then overthrown by a conspiracy of his bodyguards and troops, following his mother's attempt to broker a deal with the Wea Lejani. He was murdered on the orders of Hunzuri.
==Early life==
Kwatzi was born during the fifth year of his father's reign. This immediately elevated his mother's status, and she was allowed to move into the palace in Batta. Not much is known about the internal harem politics of the Battan monarchy.
==Accession to the throne==
During the spring of the 17th year of Tigraini's reign, the king is overcome by his madness, and proceeds to walk around aimlessly in the streets of Batta, wielding a spear. He mauls and kills his own mother, Bezie Jeleye, who served as the de-facto regent of Batta during Tigraini's reign. Then the king is moved inside his bed chamber by his bodyguards, where he later dies.
Immediately afterwards, Nekube and the captain of the Battan bodyguard, Unari, approaches in public. She holds Kwatzi in his hand and leads him. Then she proceeds to hold a speech for him. As Kwatzi is a minor, Unari was declared the supreme commander of the army, and Nekube is declared regent.
==Murders==
Nekube immediately moved to remove all possible competitors of her son. Two princesses have been murdered, and the status of Kwatzi's remaining brother remains unknown. Gabwayshi, cousin of Tigraini and possible competitor of the throne, was also arrested for conspiring against Kwatzi, and then was executed by impaling.
==Ashga's Rebellion==
The most senior surviving general of Tigraini's army, Ashga, who is leading a campaign in the west, is re-called home to partake in Tigraini's funeral. Reportedly, however, Ashga's relatives in Batta were arrested, accused of conspiring against the new king. Other rumours said that a slave girl had seen Unari engaging in sex with Nekube. She reportedly fled the capitol and approached Ashga's army, telling him that Kwatzi was not Tigraini's son, and that the king also is mentally retarded and thereby unfit to rule.
Ashga thereby arose in rebellion, and started to march towards Batta.
==Flight from Batta==
Following riots in Batta and the death of Unari, Nekube fled with Kwatzi and his sister down to Jasha, which she renamed Kwatzami. During this period, large parts of the kingdom fell to usurpers or foreign powers. In Batta, a new king, Zabi, has declared Kwatzi and his mother fugitives.
==War with the Hoshiids==
The Hoshiids led by Quadi ja'Hoshi landed on the shores outside of Ashwadi, which they laid siege on with 250 men. The aim of this unlikely force is to place Tigraini's grandson Hoshi ja'Raki on the throne of Hunziland.
==Fall from power and death==
After Khefwa II's defeat against king Zabi in the Battle of the Ostrich Gate, the Wea Lejani saw a way to legitimise their control over parts of Battan territory. They approached Nekube with an alliance proposal, recognising Kwatzi as the legitimate king over Hunziland in return of Lejanese control over the mines of the kingdom. This deal angered many of Kwatzi's warriors, who had stayed put through all ordeals, even when the king turned 17 and was not yet counted for as an adult man, but instead was still a ward of his mother.
A rebellion erupted in Kwatzami, and Nekube and Kwatzi were trying to flee on a boat, but were intercepted by Hunzuri and his men and brought to cells inside the ruins of the royal palace. There, Kwatzi was quickly strangled to death before the eyes of his mother.
==Rumours==
Kwatzi is rumoured of being the illicit son of Nekube and Unari.
He is also rumoured to be mentally retarded. The rumour is founded on that the King is squinting with one eye and is reported to have a swollen tongue which makes him lisping and speaking very slow. He has also only made one public appearance.
