Marius, regally as Marius I of Haense (Common: Marius; High Imperial: Marius; Hansetian: Marian) was the third King of Haense under the rule of House of Barbanov. Taking the throne at the age of two, he was under regency led by his uncle, Prince Charles, till his coming of age at 14 becoming the youngest Barbanov to become King of Haense in history. He also was well liked by his people as he respected each and every one of them. Though he lost his title due to the Great Northern War, the people of Haense rallied behind him and his brother Otto I during the Mardon rebellion.
The Coalition War
After his father’s execution, Marius was ascended to the throne under tumultuous circumstances. During the beginning of his reign until Courland was reformed, creating a Coalition against the Holy Orenian Empire. The first battle led to the death of his uncle Prince Charles, thus ending the regency right as Marius came of age. As Axionite forces moved towards victory, the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska withdrew its forces and declared autonomy. Following the dissolution of the Holy Orenian Empire and recognition by Urguan, Marius became monarch of an independent North.
The Brawm Rebellion

With ill sentiments rising and defectors within House Brawm emerging, Marius and the Royal Army seized and destroyed the Brawm keep as a result of the ensuing battle and the expulsion of House Brawm from the peerage.
Great Northern War
Despite the ripe memory of the Riga War during the reign of Emperor John II, tensions between Courland and Haense remained dormant. However, by 1601, conflict re-emerged at the forefront of the two nations with the killing of Prince Merric Staunton of Courland within the walls of St Karlsburg. Under the assumption of Haensetian malice and aggression, the Kingdom of Courland perceived the incident as such and prepared for war. After issuing ultimatums within the following year, coupled with a failed attempt at reconciliation at Cloud Temple, the two kingdoms clashed at Elba. Sustaining heavy losses at the Battle of Elba and the Battle of Curon, the tide of the war turned in favor of the Staunton forces. Following the defeat of the Kingdom of Haense at the Siege of Vasiland, the Kingdom of Courland advanced toward the capital, indicative of the irreversible plight of King Marius and his nation. On the 11th of the Amber Cold, 1604, King Marius capitulated, issuing a formal surrender to the Kingdom of Courland.
