Jacob Windaguard

*"They may have their fancy courts in the gardens of Ventes. But I suggest we take course on a new Analeas, one different than the poor and inpoverished we've known our whole lives. We won the war, now it is time to win their hearts" -George's coronation speech, 1905*

**George I** (born Jacob George Henry Williamson Windaguard) was King of Analeas and Emperor of the Great Empire from November 4th, 1905 until his death on April 9th, 1913. He is recognized as, the"modern king" who brought Analeas various advancements in science and technology. His reign would see Analeas cement itself with various monopolies on various trade goods.

George was born in 1872 under the name Jacob to Prince Marcus and his wife Chelsea, Duchess of Martiso. At the time of his birth, Analeas was under the reign of Benjamin II at the beginning of the first Alarian War. His father was a commander and spent a majority of his childhood overseas fighting for the honest powers, and therefore, Jacob would spend alot of time on his own, or with the other children of the court. It was this lifestyle that allowed him to become good friends with his cousin and second in line to the Analeasian throne: Lilliana. He was raised and educated at the Artenshire academy throughout the duration of his young years and professed in the sciences, philosophy, and for his military background, tactical planning. He held a natural affinity for the violin, something all expected heirs of the throne were required to learn, even though he himself was not expected to take the throne. He would marry Helen, the lady of Sellen at the time, and would go into a great degree of public service. He would serve as an ambassador to Hanna, and would see the public relations with Ventes increase exponentially throughout his time as an ambassador. He would end up cutting his time as an ambassador short shortly following the reign of his cousin Lilliana, who abdicated due to a crisis in power, and giving the throne to Jacob's father: Marcus. With Marcus as the new King, Jacob became the Prince of Azulia and heir apparent to the throne of Analeas. He would have to abandon his ambassador duty directly to Hanna and opt for more global approach to reasoning, however that became difficult under his father's reign due to his foreign policies and ambitions overseas. Despite all of that, many viewed Jacob with optimism, and saw his kind heart to develop a love and affinity for the progression of Analeas, and the world. Becoming the Prince of Azulia at the unexpected age of 29, Jacob struggled with his new required Violin courses. He had not given it a second thought as to why he was required to learn it, however he tried his hardest to do as his father had willed. Despite his new role as the Prince of Azulia, Jacob's control would be limited due to his father's creation of the Analeasian Empire, and the international backlash with his imperial conquests. Jacob's desire to diplomatically create a network of influence for Analeasians was slipping away, and it was only a matter of time before that window would shut tight for good until he himself could take the throne.

When his father passed away in 1905, the crown was placed on Jacob's head. He would use the name George as his king name. Contrary to the man he used to be, King George's influence on the world would be one of demand. He saw the opportunity to see the world grow through the eyes of Analeasian production, technology, and development, and the current embargos placed by the ACN wouldn't last so long as he was there. Due to his father's unexpected vault into the crown, his relationship with the keepers of the violin greatly dwindled, and that would also cause issues for future generations of monarchs in Analeas for decades. Under his reign, the global production of cars and planes grew exponentially, and the great "Carwile Trade" of 1910 was seen as a major reason for the industrial boom in the early 20th century. Arguably the most remarkable investment of King George I's reign was the time spent on the great Space Program. With the help of some of the brightest minds across Alaria, Heinz Sommerdorf, Peter Schenider, Martin Jaagleson, and various others helped George establish what would be known today as the AAS (Analeasian Agency of Space). It would be his greatest and last achievement to see a satelite begin to orbit Alaria, as he died shortly after the launch due to liver failure celebrating in Port Monson. He would be succeeded by his son: Jarom (George II).
