Count Johannes Mäkinen

Count Johannes Mäkinen is the spouse of Countess Ada Mäkinen, who both oversee the eastern area of Stravinsky of the Varian Kingdom. The two must answer to Duchess Alice Smithwood. The couple resides in a town along the Varsonia Canal called Eslo. He is the eldest son of the fallen Count Asmund. After meeting Ada while he was traveling to the Alidasht, the two fell in love. Pasha Sunni Olufemi and Duke Anders Mäkinen approved of the marriage with some hesitancy. Ada is one of the few Alidasht to marry and move over seas to Varian Kingdom.

Johannes became a Count a few years ago when his father passed away from old age. A well-mannered and elegant man, he was well suited for the job. His wife Ada is the apple to his eye and the two are a powerhouse of a couple in the Varian Kingdom. There are not many complaints as the two are very adored in the Stravinsky territory. Many have been eagerly awaiting to hear about the birth of children.

His younger sister Kasia married Count Sven Pawonska. The Pawonskas live in the Brustad territory.
