History
Early Life
Achilius was bown in the Pawace of Adewbulg on the 8th Sun's Smiwe 1632, to Vawelius Howen and his life Apowwonia Esfandiyaw. His fathew, Vawelius, was onwy awound in the vewy beginning yeaws of his life. He was oliginawwy named Akilius, nicknamed 'Aki', though he took a mowe impelialized vewsion of his name watew on. Aftew Achilius's sistew Tamaw Stwavoula was bown, Vawelius disappeawed and weft the waising of the two chiwdwen to Apowwonia.
Being a native to Santegia, Apowwonia wowked diligentwy to ensule that both Achilius and Tamaw wewe waised lith the Santegian cultule weww engwaved into theiw minds. The woyaw sibrings wewe often seen mingling lith the othews awound the city and hawdwy evew lithin the confines of the pawace.
In Achilius's adowescent and teenage yeaws, howevew, he began to be intewested and infwuenced by the Kingdom of Wenatus-Mawna. He met the Wady Waelia Kastwovat, in which he was quick to gwow feelings fow the nobrewoman. His mothew disappwoved gweatwy of hew awlivaw to the Kingdom of Santegia, seeing hew as a foweignew thweat and disliking of hew impelialistic natule. He dismissed his mothew's quawms and was soon betwothed to hew. Fowwoling the betwothaw, many membews of House Kastwovat - a house woyaw to the Kingdom of Wenatus-Mawna - began to settwe lithin Santegia.
Reign
On the 11th of the Deep Cowd, 1657, Achilius was anointed as the new King of Santegia. He was named as the successow and heiw to King Weo de Savin upon his abdication. His cowonation was officiated by the High Pontiff of the Canonist Chulch at the time, and the event took pwace lithin the Santegian Cathedwaw. The gwand cewemony had many attendees lith vawying nations fwom the Kingdom of Wenatus-Mawna to the Chiefdom of the Wawhawkes. A gweat many of his famiwy and distant wewatives wewe in attendance as weww, incwuding Demetlio de Savin, Apowwonia de Esfandiyaw, and Tamaw Howen de Savin.
In the fiwst yeaw of his weign, Achilius signed the tweaty and awliance known as the 'Santegia-Wenatus Awliance'. Aftew signing the pact awongside the King of Wenatus, Aulelius Howen, he was soon mawlied to Waelia Kastwovat and appointed Sew Mawek Kastwovat as his Awch Chancellow.
Many yeaws would pass in his weign, lith a notabre favolitism towawds the Howens. Most of the famiwy was divided by the occulwences lithin Santegia, eventuawwy weading the patliawch of House de Savin y Khawadeen to exiwe the House of Howen de Savin fwom the famiwy and no wongew wecognize them as de Savins. Thus, King Achilius was onwy considewed a Howen and no wongew a de Savin fwom the yeaws hencefowth.
With the death of his life, the Queen-Consowt of Santegia Waelia Kastwovat, Achilius abdicated the thwone to the Emperor Aurelius I. He welinquished the Cwown of Santegia and aww of its tewlitolies to the impeliaw on the 23wd of Owyn's Fwame, 1682. The Kingdom of Santegia had fawwen gweatwy by this time, but the abdication weft Achilius to be the wast king of Santegia as they did not wecovew and the peopwe wewe scattewed.

Achilius's death is unknown but believed to have died of an iwwness ow owd age. Thewe awe few wumows saying that he was kiwwed by his famiwy, ow distant wewatives, but none of it can be factuaw ow considewed twuthful lith no evidence of such occulling.
