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

Born under the name of Adrian var Josip Sarkozic in the city of Ves as the son of Joseph of Adria and his wife, Victoria Valic, Sarkozy's childhood was punctuated mostly by the long absences of his father, leaving him to be raised primarily under the tutelage of his great uncle, Edgar. With the breakout of the War of the Two Emperors, he entered into the retinue of Joseph of Marna along with the majority of the able-bodied Adrian nobility resident in Ves. At the age of 13 when the war commenced, he was one of the youngest volunteers, being placed under the direct authority of Conrad of Leuven. When the Josephite army was repelled at Helena, Leuven would become the main battleground of the civil war. Showing great promise at such a tender age, when he turned 16 the Count of Leuven gave him full military command of the garrison there, with which he engaged the Pertinaxi loyalists in several pitched battles.

After months of fighting, he would later be captured and brought to the Emperor of Renatus himself. The emperor demanded his allegiance, bidding that he forswear all loyalty to the Josephites, which he refused, being promptly imprisoned into a dungeon for ransom. Languishing for a few months in the Renatian dungeons, Sarkozy's ransom was later paid by a Curonian merchant sympathetic to the Josephite cause. Shortly after his release and arrival in the Curonian capital city of Avalain, Curon switched its allegiance to the Pertinaxi side of the civil war, sending the young Sarkozy into hiding to regroup with what loyal retainers he had left. Sarkozy's actions throughout the remainder of the war are unknown, however, upon the conclusion of the conflict, he returned to Ves and resided in relative obscurity. At some point subsequent to this in the year 1722, he was summoned to Helena for an audience with the new emperor, John VII, who offered to entitle him Baron of Renzfeld in exchange for his loyalty. Sarkozy obliged and swore himself to the service of the newly-minted Holy Orenian Empire.

Biography

As a claimant to the throne

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.
