John Vyros

John Vyros is one of the most influential leaders in Ralkeis' history, and as of 96 AE, serves as its president.
Shortly after Ralkeis won its independence from Krolesk, then-king Gyravan appointed Vyros as his Vizier. While serving this role, Vyros formed the Magma Walkers, an underground police force working in secret tunnels under Ralkeis, known as the catacombs, for quick and efficient access between the islands, and appointed Myre as its head.
In 68 AE, Vyros and his Magma Walkers performed a coup for forced Gyravan to flee, with his unexpected Lirun ally Lao, who then kill Ian Anabal and disappear in his mobile home. Vyros was now the acting ruler of Ralkeis, opening the nation to the international stage.
In 76 AE, Vyros opted to convert the nation to a democracy, and managed to win its first election the following year, beating out Sage Cavvage and Yubbeus Skink. Vyros would prove to be popular and serve many consecutive terms. However, in 90 AE, he had a major health scare. Though he survived, it was suspected that he was poisoned.
== Beliefs ==
Vyros is exceedingly private as a person, and some have claimed he isn't even Netheran due to his minimalist show of religious fervor. His castle originally contained three shrines to Netheran saints, but this number has been diminished to one: A shrine dedicated to Saint Vesmer, a saint noted for her opposition to the Krolesk'Kan occupation. This has not sat well with Jarulian unificationists. Vesmer's canonization has always been a controversial matter.
Vyros is an exceptionally cold and calculating individual, and doesn't like to disclose his opinions on most matters. However, he has very strong and visceral objections to anything approaching cultural genocide. When Akarv invaded Alten and was forced to kill enormous numbers during the brief Akarv-Alten War, Vyros issued a very strong condemnation before swiftly retracting it.
== Enemies and Allies ==
Vyros has antagonized many groups. During the 76 AE Election, he marked both Skink and Cavvage as adversaries, and neither man totally abandoned their grudges. Vyros would later hire Cavvage on, partially appeasing Cavvage's political side. Skink, meanwhile, has grown increasingly contemptuous of Vyros, and has done his best to turn the Cascade Netherans against Vyros.
