## Youth

Asil was the son of a Darav blacksmith from the town of Krin in the Iswin Okrai, His family had lived their for generations. Asil's father Orrat Akkan (2127-2174) was the towns blacksmith, His mother was called Auran Besek (2132-2174). Asil also had a sister Keth Akkan (2157-2232).

## The Great War and Resistance

When Asil was 12 the Great War erupted across Espa, His father was conscripted to fight the invading Erman Empire from the east. When he turned 16 Asil himself was conscripted but evaded service to assist his mother and sister. All of this however came to an abrupt end in 2174 CC when the Daravian front collapsed and the country was occupied by the Ermans, Krin was one of the many villages ransacked by the Ermans. During this event the now 19 year old Asil was separated from his family in what he would later recall at the most faithful event of his live.

After the Fall of Daravia, the Ermans executed many soldiers of the Daravian army and the young Asil found his way to the Iswin Resistance front under General Luddek, here he would adopt the code name Coda, Under Luddek Asil became a skilled Partisan against the Government General, leading his own resistance cell by 2176 CC.

## The Iswin Uprising and Genocide

In 2179 CC General Luddek organized a massive uprising in the capital of the Government General, Iswin. Asil took eager part in this uprising and his resistance cell fiercely fought to secure the city docks to let in allied resupplies. However the uprising crumbled in a few months as Luddek got surrounded and was executed, escaping the Erman retaliation Asil and the remaining forces retreated into the swamps south of the city continuing a partisan war for the remaining years of the occupation.

In 2183 CC Asil became head of the Resistance and during the Daravian Genocide in 2187 CC in the final stages of the Great War his resistance liberated many Daravs from the Erman Death Camps.

## End of the War and Political Career

When the Erman Empire was defeated in 2189 CC and the Brezian army marched liberating into Daravia, The Erman and Venzian Empires were disbanded and a new Republic of Daravia established. However the allied failed to include the Darav lands in Venzia and Ermania into the new republic much to the dissatisfaction of the Daravs.

This to Asil was the final proof that Daravia must'nt count on Western assistance to build their nation and must aim at total self sufficiency for all Daravs, in the face of the bumbling new republic, Asil - who now adopted the name Arev Lucan a more standardized version of Asil and after the Luca River which was the vein of their nation - founded the Druvist Party with help of Elim Irukotsk and Iosik Tiron the party gained huge popularity.

During the election of 2193 CC the Druvists won 32% of the vote and after forming a coalition with the communist party Lucan was inaugurated as the new chancellor of parliament. However Lucan still faced alot of opposition too, among which from the President.

The president Bilin publicly opposed the Druvist Party but had to form the only coalition left possible with them however this was by no means a happy coalition and the President overruled many of Lucan's decisions, to little surprise the coalition fell apart after 3 months leaving Daravia without a government. With the President unable to form any coalition after this, Lucan took matters into his own hands and with support of the army Couped the president, and promptly merged the chancellorship with the presidency into the title of Komar.

As Komar Lucan would massively reform the Daravian Industry with the aim of having imports reduced every year, the Army was build up from 200,000 in 2195 to 2,000,000 in 2199 CC, Factory quotas were established and public education was made mandatory for children.

## Heath Decline and Death

While widely popular these reforms were very controversial and in 2199 CC a failed assassination attempt landed Lucan in a wheelchair, he recovered the same year but in Thermidor suffered his first stroke. During 2200 CC he would suffer 2 additional strokes.

In Yuvanar 2200 CC he suffered a third stroke and lost his ability to speak, he experienced partial paralysis on his left side and began exhibiting sensory aphasia.

By Falidar, he appeared to be making a slow recovery, regaining some of his mobility, speech, and writing skills. In Eslodor, he made a final visit to the Capital. On 3 Olomary 2201, Lucan fell into a coma and died later that day. His official cause of death was recorded as an incurable disease of the blood vessels.
