Serik Gevorgyan

"In generations past, men built wonders, laid claim to the world and sought to better themselves for the good of all. But we are much wiser now."
-Serik Gevorgyan
== History ==
Serik Gevorgyan came straight out of central casting as a Nadezhdan civil servant. He served a brief and unremarkable tour of duty in the army, before serving as a diplomat between the Council of Ministers and the Office of the Gauletier. Born during the War of the Philosopher-Kings, his earliest memories are those of the horrors of war. He was able to earn the trust of his own people and that of the Hexenjägers, and earned the title of First Minister as a compromise candidate. He is little known amongst his people, which suites him fine. 
== Personality ==
A cunning man with ice water in his veins. Serik Gevorgyan is slavishly devoted to his work and is not known to have any hobbies. Though he is married and has children, he substitutes his time and love with money and gifts. There are rumors that the children are not even his own, but Gevorgyan is content to let his subordinates laugh at him so long as they are merry and not discontented. He loathes mages and war with a reserved but genuine passion, and harbors a secret disgust for his country for its previously lax attitude towards mages. His admiration for the Hexenjägers is genuine, and he has been heard to say that he wishes he could institute a damnatio memoriae in Nadezhda just as Flavius Luteus Scaevola did in New Arendur. Nonetheless, Gevorgyan is no man's puppet, and though he is less known and less popular then his Gauletier, Roger Adler, he is a far shrewder politician with an uncanny ability to take the long view. 
== The Great Awakening ==
After the fall of the Reich, Serik Gevorgyan's government would choose the elderly and ailing Malrog to reprise the title of Marshal of Nadezhda, deeming him a frail puppet whose status as a priest, war hero, and friend of Abi Eodauga's would make it hard for anyone to deny his right to rule. Malrog would prove less tractable then Gevorgyan and his cronies suspected; though perfectly happy to exaggerate his senility to trick others into underestimating him, he pushed through a series of reforms. The anti-mage edicts were lifted, efforts towards meritocracy were imposed upon the Nadezhdan Armed Forces, and the powers of the nobility were curbed. The people of Nadezhda were astonished to see that their old healer war hero, half as old as time itself, was more then ready to prepare his people for the coming war and to make his homeland a gentler and more righteous land before he shuffled off the mortal coil. Gevorgyan and his men would learn to fear the determination of their worst nemesis, a truly righteous man who had lived long enough that he had very little to lose. Soon enough, all Nadezhda would pray alongside their Marshal, praying that Hleid would give him more years to make his work endure.Category:Monarchs
