Fyodor Yskorov

Fyodor Yskorov is the current reigning monarch of the Grand Duchy of Kolangrad. Formerly a minor noble from Palovensk, Fyodor assumed the title of Grand Duke after challenging Vlasily Mrediysav to a duel on June 5, 248, defeating and slaying the former Grand Duke and claiming the title. He offered the last Mrediysavs amnesty, giving the family the Yskorov estate as compensation.
Fyodor is notable for establishing the Novzaklód of Kolangrad, the Grand Duchy's national parliament, and the defense of Kolangrad during the Imperial Civil War of 252, as well as various labor reforms and the incorporation of many overseas territories, including the former High Jarldom of Cholobagh and vast swathes of land in Eudeon.
== Biography ==
=== Early Life ===
Fyodor Yskorov was born to Lord Gagaryszo and Lady Maria of the house of Yskorov-Landowosz, a minor noble family from East Palovensk, on the Yskorov Estate. He was the the third of four children alongside his brother Grigorien Kosowicz and sister Nina Lilija being two and one years his elder respectively. His parents would bear a fourth, Markasz Hagaryn, but he would die of pneumonia in his second winter.
Fyodor was raised in the standard of Kolanskiy nobility, trained in swordplay and horseriding as well as various levels of scholastic education, excelling at linguistics and the natural sciences, Fyodor would master Hybrotiaud and Kordynian by his 18th birthday, but falling short in humanities.
=== Invasions of Kolangrad ===
Fyodor was 19 during the First Invasion of Kolangrad, serving in the 41s artillery battalion during the Battle of Blackened Stones and the Siege of Kolangrad. His father, Gagaryszo, serving as the captain of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, would fall to Kordynian soldiers at the Battle of Morasz Field. 
Fyodor would marry Irena of Kopszyna in 226 as the country recovered from the first invasion. When the Second Invasion occurred only six years later, Fyodor took post as Artillery Captain of Boszka Pass Fort, where he successfully defended the fortification from the Kordynians. Fyodor's elder brother, Grigorien, would fall at the Battle of Morjakov, being shot during the retreat. Six months into the Second Invasion, Irena would bear Fyodor a child, while Fyodor was still holding Boszka Pass. He would send notice back to his estate to name the child after his brother.
=== Ascension to the Throne ===
Fyodor, in the years following the invasions of Kolangrad, would shed away his animosities to the nations involved, as technological advancements and quality of life soared around him, putting his faith in sustaining Kolangrad and leaving other nations to themselves. During the Great War, Fyodor, having outlived his military volunteer requirement, would stay on his estate, isolating himself from the events of the war. After Gregor VI's death, Vlasily Mrediysav would take the throne, promptly undoing many of the social reforms that Gregor VI had made following the Great War, and taking further power from minor nobility like the Yskorov-Landowosz family. After spending a great amount of the treasury in an attempt to meddle in the Novacian Election of 248, Fyodor had decided the foreign meddling had gone far enough. He challenged Grand Duke Mrediysav to a duel for the throne. Fyodor would win the duel, but would offer the surviving Mrediysav family the Yskorov Estate as compensation, rather than following the traditional guidelines of banishing the defeated family.
