**Yosef Feskor** is a Kroftish politician serving as the 10th minister president of Kroftland, and chairman of the Imperial Nationalist Party since January 2, 444. Prior to being elected as the minister president, Feskor was a member of the Imperial Diet for 23 years, from 420 until 443. He is also a decorated veteran of the Imperial Navy.

## Early life

Feskor was born in Marrstod in 374 to an unknown peasant couple. His mother died in childbirth, and his father left town, leaving Feskor to be raised in a Marrstod orphanage. As a young child, Feskor would peddle hats and shoes to cadets at the Imperial Naval Academy. Despite his shortcomings in life, Feskor was determined to make something of himself, and enlisted in the Imperial Navy in 394, at the age of 20. He served for 20 years as a sailor, eventually earning the rank of captain, and commanding a destroyer. Upon leaving the navy, he graduated from the University of Kralstod, with a degree in law.

## Pan-Almorian War

During the Pan-Almorian War, he remained a strong supporter of the war effort, and of Pol Skumokor II's leadership. He is known for having accused members of the Reformist Party of being foreign actors and sympathizers of the Zirist Federation, and advocating for their imprisonment. He also stated that former members of the outlawed Zirist Party of Kroftland should be executed for treason.

## Politics

#### Imperial Nationalist Party

Feskor became a member of the Imperial Nationalist Party in 408, upon graduating college. He became involved in local politics, serving as a member of the city council in his home town of Marrstod from 410 until 415. He was a candidate for the RLP in 419 Kroftish general election, but was not initially elected. Following the abrupt death of Roebbor Mats Zmit, Feskor was called to fill his vacancy, and was re-elected in 424, 429, 434, and and 439. In the latter portion of his 5th term, Feskor stepped down from his seat to campaign for his position to become the next party chairman. In December of 443, the party council unanimously selected Feskor to lead the party, citing his outspoken opinions and vigor. Following a large victory for the RLP in the 444 general election, Feskor was elected as the next minister president.
