Adrian de Sarkozy (10th of the First Seed, 1702 – present), is an Imperial military and political leader. He has served as Lord Protector of the Holy Orenian Empire since the demise of Alexander II in the year 1731, acting simultaneously as head of state and government in a time of unrest and interregnum.

Early Life

Adrian was born to Josip Sarkozic in the city of Ves being the eldest son of Josip Sarkozic and his Valic wife. Growing up he didn't have his father around though he was mostly tutored and raised by his great uncle, Edgar Sarkozic, along with his younger brothers Peter and Henry. When the War of the Two Emperors broke out he had become quite disgusted by the Empire of Renatus attempting to undermine the authority of the current High Pontiff, Everard V, to which he'd begin to take action using the remainder of his family's wealth in hiring himself mercenaries to aid Joseph in his war.

Upon gaining a military force he would then begin to train them into becoming a formidable force to which he'd later partake in the Siege of Helena being under the command of Count Conrad of Leuven. After suffering a defeat at Helena his new homeland, Leuven, would become the main battlegrounds of the war to which led towards many skirmishes and engagements in the area to which Adrian would quickly become a capable commander for his company who were part of the front line of defense at Leuven. As he had shown his capabilities of being a leader it would result in the formation of the Sarkozic company with the mercenaries who had then sworn to serve under him and his family.

After months of fighting, he'd later be captured being brought to the Emperor of Renatus himself being demanded to bend the knee to which he would refuse. Thusly would result in him losing his right forearm and being thrown in prison for ransom. Adrian would then be ransomed by a wealthy Curonian merchant, who was quite sympathetic to the Marnan cause to which he'd then be nursed back to health by the Curonian merchant. A month into his stay, the Kingdom of Curonia would later defect to the Pertinaxi side to which would lead to his departure in order to regroup with his company. Few more years would pass with the War of the Two Emperors officially coming to an end, Adrian would have then returned to Ves until his unexpected summoning by the new Emperor, John VII. His arrival at the city of Helena resulted in his and his younger brothers legitimization as a Sarkozic and gaining the title of Baron of Renzfeld becoming a vassal of the Holy Orenian Empire.

Reign

As Holy Orenian Emperor

The Three Month War with Urguan would soon come to an end when Emperor John VII of Oren had declared his abdication whilst also declaring the Holy Orenian Empire to become a democracy. Upon hearing the news, Adrian quickly rallied his family along with his retinue with the help of the dwarves towards Helena. At their arrival, he had begun to speak with some of the old council of Oren where he'd then take the throne claiming his right to be the new Holy Orenian Emperor. As he then became Emperor he'd end the war signing a white peace with the Under-realm of Urguan [1].

After gaining the throne, Adrian would be forced out of Helena as his cousin, Charles of Alston, had done an overnight attack at Helena to which he'd then declare himself as Emperor as well as taking Adrian's throne. As his Imperial throne was taken by him unjustly he quickly gains supporters from the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska as well as the Kingdom of Curonia and other nations. Two months would pass to where he'd exchange ravens back and forth with his cousin agreeing to meet in the city of Ves. Thusly would result in both of them stepping down as Emperors allowing a boy named Alexander to take the throne after being chosen by the High Pontiff, Daniel VI.
