Kalius Patricus

Doctor Patricus

The Butcher of Lettonia

The Director

Head Commander of Lettonian Armed Forces

**Kalius 'Mad Doc' Patricus**, otherwise known as 'The Mad Doctor of Lettonia' or 'The Butcher of Lettonia' (1884-1963) who served as the Director of the Iron Legion of Lettonia (I.E Illuminist Lettonia) from 1923 to 1945. Born in Tarraco in 1884, during the closing years of the long and prosperous reign of Empress Livia Valentina, Kalius was a normal child with normal interests and grew up in normal. However, as he became a teenager he developed an unhealthy attitude towards minorities, religious people and towards the long exiled Letton and Medatri populations in reservations in Tingitania and Sicilia. He developed ambitions of seizing power from the monarchy and establishing an Elu-Garalic Ethnostate and wiping out those he saw as inferior. He realized in high school that this fit the bill with Illuminism and Masterplanism and he and a few friends who shared his sick, twisted beliefs began twisting them together to justify their beliefs. So while Mad Doc was an Illuminist, he and his cronies were extremists in an extreme ideology. In fact, they themselves called it Kalian Illuminism. After leaving high school, Kalius went to university in Mediolanum where his hatred grew of the monarchy and he began writing anti-monarchial newspapers with his friends, which got him arrested in 1906, though he was released in 1909. He continued his mission, believing it was his destiny to one day overthrow the monarchy and put himself on top. His beliefs slowly refined themselves to, becoming a way for a twisted man to inspire his followers. Between 1911, when he began publishing newspapers and making radio messages and 1920, his followers grew, and grew, and grew. By 1922 he had an army of over 10 million at his side and in 1923 he finally marched on Mediolanum and deposed Empress Aurelia, proclaiming himself as Eternal Director of the Iron Legion.

His rise to power saw immediate persecution ramp up against minorities, natives and religious people. He quickly formed a cult of personality around his supreme image, and punished those who didn't bow to his beliefs and join his 'crusade' against the 'impure' of Lettonia. He also embarked on campaigns to ensure that the Lettonian colonies in Masoland, Corisar, Belcis Boundi, Buuni and Qashqai remained loyal through fear and intimidation, and Mad Doc began building concentration and later death camps in Lettonian colonies to keep the genocide away from the homeland and increase deniability. He also ramped up and began an ethnic cleansing operation in Buuni, whose people he viewed as 'intensely disgusting'. In 1928-29 he ramped up military buildup. His actions would lead to Lettonia joining the Illuminist Pact and Global War 2 in 1942. Though finding success initially, the sheer industrial capacity of the Allies, and his increasing list of enemies, both foreign and domestic led to rebellions which he tried his hand at brutally repressing. Though the inevitable came, and he fled Mediolanum as American forces tried to encircle it in early 1945. He faked suicide and escaped the country undetected where he fled to Illuminist Tennemagma. He hid there under an alias until 1963, when he finally died at age 79 of cancer. Most of the world believed Mad Doc had died in 1945, and so when the Illuminists in Tennemagma were finally removed from power and the truth was revealed, it scarred many people knowing that the man had escaped justice in the end.
