Teilo Samson

Teilo Samson was the first Prime Minister of the Empire of Kordowyn, as well as the first leader and founder of the Kordynian Conservative Party. 
Samson was born on October 18th, 183 KOR to the wealthy Fergus Samson and his second wife, Lucia Glace. The Samson family is exceedingly wealthy, being one of the first Acrenian families to settle in Kordowyn. The Samson family owned and operated several gold, gem, iron, and coal mines in Brys and Gwynne, and were based out of Brys. 
Teilo's father passed away when he was 5, and his mother passed away when he 10. Teilo's significantly older brother, Fergus Jr., raised him from that point and trained him in running the business, and Teilo worked for his brother until he was 36, when he left the family business and set up a small crafts factory in Pontypridd. Samson's factory did well, and he eventually began expanding his enterprise, establishing more specialized crafts factories in the Heartland. 
In the 230s, Samson began getting involved in Brysian politics, and to a lesser extent politics across the Heartland. In 244, when Emperor Llywelyn I formed the first Kordynian Imperial Parliament, Samson was named as the leader of the Kordynian Conservative Party, which he helped found, and thus the first Prime Minister. Following his appointment as Prime Minister, Samson 'retired' from his business, handing it to his two sons, Owen and Henry, in order to focus on his duties as Prime Minister.
Samson resigned as Prime Minister in 250 near the end of the 4th Kordynian Parliament.
Samson retired from politics shortly after his resignation, and continued living in his family home in Pontypridd until his death in February 258.
