Levius Segrov

*"Soldiers fight with swords and shields. Leaders fight with pen and paper."*

Levius Gregor Segrov is a career politician, hailing from outside of Iaddithis. He is currently the mayor of the small town of Donslau and the Governor of the province with the same name within the nation of Terraorientis.

## The Life Before Iaddithis

### Humble Beginnings

Born into poverty, in a far away land, a young Levius had to deal with the harshness of reality. Despite that, he managed to get high quality education, and soon became a business owner, making his own bakery. This was mostly because of one of his business partners being in the farming industry, giving him an easy access to prime material.

### The Logical Continuation

As his business was drawing more and more profit from across the country and even the world, his bread and pastries were becoming famous, being associated with the country of origin. Even so, he soon cashed out, and got a job within the states government, eyeing a different position. Playing house politics within his home nation wasn't easy but it worked, aligning himself with the Council.

### Love and War

Yet not all was well. When the leader of the nation, who saw its inception, and was like a father for most of the population, found his end by a dagger, the whole world collapsed around the small nation. As the leadership devided amongst themselves, he remained with the Council, going all in. Luckily his bid was a winning one, as the Council made a deal with the army, and with their help, the socialists were crushed. With that his spring begun.

### Springtime for Leuvis

As the civil strife had ended, he entered into a new era. With a lot of influence and power, he ascended and became a force to be reckoned within the local politics of the nation. He was even offered the position of the capital city, a deal he couldn't refuse. And so his path was set.

### The House collapsed

Even if Leuvis was making gains for himself, the nation wasn't feeling too good. With a brutal economic crisis and a continental armed race, the nation couldn't sustain itself and collapsed into it's constituent provinces. Leuvis had his own nation now, but at what cost? Yet, he didn't fret. He worked his magic and soon had the province stand on its two feet and even thrive, but it couldn't last.

### To the New World

The situation was bleak, to say the least. And Leuvis noticed. While he could, he took his fortune and whoever would come, left for the south, were he caught a boat and went wherever the wind would take him. Hundreds of nautical miles and a few pirate fights later, he arrived on land, on the north coast of Mare Spei.

## The Life In Iaddithis

### Here we are now

He landed. But not on lawless land, where they could make the law. As the men worked on makeshift housing, a patrol approached them. Leuvis quickly got to talking with them, and soon he was on his way to Fides, the capital of the Confederation of Terraorientis. There he had a small talk with Giovanni Zarvas, the regent. But, through some sort of miracle, when he returned to Donslau, he returned with money and a garrison, and with a province to his name.

### Provincial Blues

With his province being built by his men, he begun his administration. Fanatical factionalism, splitting the town and province in 5, was institutionalized. To many, this meant a complete suicide, but to Donslau, it was this that warranted unparalleled growth and activity. With that explained, who was he, who kept the political violence at bay and was the glue who kept Donslau together? It was Levius. Not only this meant he had absolute power within the province, but it also meant his influence could seep outside the province.

Even so, there was a fatal weakness. Levius, himself, was the weak link within the whole government. Not only is he frail, but if he is out of the picture, the whole province would spiral into violence and despair. Any attempt to prevent the weak link would mean a crippling of Levius's power and influence, thus being a no-go. And so he preserves himself at all costs. Despite all of this, Donslau moves slowly towards prosperity.

Its all about time, and patience.

### Joachim's Cult

One day, a worried general staff will task the governor with a small quest. To compile all the history on Joachim, one of their former leaders, one under which Levius worked. He quickly got to work, writing "Commemorandum" detailing Joachim's life, and finished it after two weeks. After posting the book, it became extremely popular at home, and even in the Colony of Novae Spei, the single colony of Confederation of Terraorientis.

Within the book, he also detailed a prophecy, which a mad general and loyal officers would turn into a religion, forcing Levius to comply, or face death. And as such, Joachimism was born.

He is considered its holy prophet. An unwilling, and non-believing, holy prophet.

### Donslanite et Superbus

As the days passed, the world slowly died, nations collapsing around him and Terraorientis, worrying even the most zealous of men. Yet, during August, when a dark age descended on the world, he kept strong, believing that Donslau can survive, and save the Confederation, during those troubled times. And it worked.

As September rolled around the corner, his bid, payed handsomely. Donslau built paradise during August, becoming the second most active and populated town in the world, and helping Terraorientis achieve the number 1 position in world rankings. His bid worked so well, that the Regens of the nation, Flav Syrius Maj, returned to lead the nation.

Even more better for him, during that dark age, the regent of the nation, Giovanni Zarvas, who led the nation while Flav was missing, died, leaving the position of Head of Foreign Affairs open, for Levius to fill in.

With that new found power, and a successful speech a few days prior in Donslau, Levius would begin his tenure in a precarious position. With competition rising, and an immense power vacuum in world, he will have ah hell of a job ahead of him.

## Personality

Levius is your basic politician. Corrupt, money-loving, aristocratic. Yet he does it well. A war profiteer, a pragmatic and highly charismatic leader, he has a whole province at his feet. Yet even he faces enemies at home. His factions, which always fight one another, sometimes decide to attack him too. Yet, he always finds a way to get out unscathed, and even more stronger then before. His stick is simple. If his people are loyal, so are the elites. That's why Donslau is a paradise, and why it works so well. He provides everything to his people, serving them while serving himself. The people follow him through anything, if branded "for the good of the people". He commends the populaces loyalty. And the ensures the elites stay at bay. Making him. Eternal.

With his recent rise to the position of Head of Foreign Affairs, his influence can expand at a rapid rate. His tendrils can finally go beyond the province, wherever they please. Yet, if he is vile, or heaven-sent, is still to be seen.
