Alexandros Casimir Novellen, commonly known as Alexander I, was the second King of the Kingdom of Balian. His reign began in the year 1900 after the passing of his father, John I, Grand Duke of Balian.

Biography

Originally born in Oren to John I, King of Balian and Gwyneth of Atrus, but forced to move due to the harshness of war. He was granted the title of heir apparent in Balian upon its founding. Whether Alexandros is cursed or one of the luckiest men alive is yet to be seen.

Early Life

The early life of Alexandros was rather chaotic, having been born during a time of back to back to back wars he would be consistently sheltered. However, when Alexandros was 7 his father would be on the losing end of the Brothers' War, having sided with Peter IV, Holy Orenian Emperor. Alexandros would flee Oren with his father, marching south and sailing over the seas where his father would found the Grand Duchy of Balian. Upon the founding of Balian, Alexandros would be named the Heir Apparent to the Grand Duchy. During his youth, Alexandros developed a friendship with the future King of Aaun, Charles Alstion. This friendship would often put himself at difference with his Father- especially in his teenage years when hostilities between Aaun and the Eastern Almaris Treaty Organization grew exponentially. During a summit to prevent bloodshed- Alexandros had to sit in for his father, putting himself and the King Charles as odds for a few years- though the tension between them subsided.

His early life was relatively uneventful for the most part, save for a handful of wars that he was much too young to take part in. In his teenage years he often found himself fighting off attacks from bandits raiding the countryside alongside his comrades in the Company of Balian- though save for these few and sparse events, it was rather peaceful in the South.

Military Career

Alexandros showed a great deal of martial prowess in his youth- training amongst officers in the Company. In particular, he was noted to have been rather skilled armed with a bow on horseback- though was also fairly capable wielding a sword as well. He never took up any official rank within the military- and as such, it is unknown to date whether he would be able to lead his men in the field of battle.

Reign

Alexandros was coronated during the Sun's Smile in the year 1900 of the Imperial Age as Alexander I, King of Balian. His coronation was much less spectacular than that of his Father's- and with much fewer guests. Those in attendance were close friends and allies- such as King Charles I of Aaun and King Karl III of Hanseti-Ruska. It was a short and to the point affair- and was the beginning of his rule.
