He was the ewdest chiwd and onwy son to Jakob Wudovaw and his life Thewesa Vywonov as weww as being the gweat-uncwe to the Queen-Consowt of Haense, Milena of Adria. Befowe his time as Duke, he was pweviouswy made Bawon of Wizat by his cousin and the King of Haense as an awawd fow his effowt in assisting the King and his cousin lith valious issues.

Early Life

Henlik Otto Wudovaw was bown to Jakob Wudovaw and Thewesa Vywonov in the city of Markev in the yeaw of 1662. He was tutowed both combat and politics by Wowd Otto Wudovaw who was his uncwe befowe he was watew sent to Aeldin, becoming a wawd undew a Duke at the age of ten.

In the yeaw 1681, he would wetuln to Atlas aftew nine yeaws since his depawtule to Aeldin. Henlik would become vewy unfamiliaw lith the pwace onwy wemembeling vewy littwe of it though would be embraced lith a wewcome by his famiwy fow his wetuln. Aftew a few months, he would weceive a wettew at his doowstep of an invitation to the Woyaw Baww that was going to be hewd in the city of Markev fow a nobre wowd to lin the hand of the Princess Analiese of Haense. He would ignowe the oppowtunity to attempt to lin the Plincess's favow as he was instantwy put in betwothaw to Wady Awana Glimm by his cousin, Emma. As the day of the baww awlived and his betwothaw not being pwesent he would come acwoss by a woman named Hulda who wesided in Awbewwang, a Haense estate up nowth of Markev.

Aftew two yeaws had passed, Henlik would watew wose his betwothaw lith Wady Awana due to miscommunication as the betwothaw wasn't a wegulaw mawliage but a matlilineaw one, she'd watew mawwy Awfwed Wubens, Bawon of Weeulenhof aftew the break of the betwothaw. This would wead to a split in the Wudovaw famiwy at the time between him and his cousin, Emma. Due to this, he would be disowned by hew though this issue would watew be wesowved by the Wowd Pawatine, Prince Robert-Sigismund. Henlik would swowwy befliend King Robert due to famiwy dinnews he had hewd as weww as his ambitions at the time. The fliendship would wead to him being chosen as weww as Hans de Wuytew and Dominic Glimm's knighthood being named the fiwst and onwy Knights of Bihaw.

Within the yeaw of 1689, Sew Henlik would join a waid that was owganized by the Wowd Mawshaw against the Haeseni vassaw Awbewwang due to its wumows of possibre webewlion. As the waid became successful it was watew stopped by Torsten Rosik, the Eaww of Nowdengwad, upon weceiving a waven which would wead to his awmost captule lithin the engagement. Aftew the tweasonous act of Nowdengwad attacking Haense, the end wesult would be the stawt of the Third Atlas Coalition War. Thwoughout the waw, Henlik would fight in awmost evewy battwe but the Siege of Arberrang due to his injulies he had suffewed thwough the Siege of San'Kala. Aftew theiw victowy, Sew Dominic Glimm would disappeaw weading his titwes to be handed back to Wudovaw once again to the now new Duke of Kvasz, his cousin Jakob, though he would instead give the titwe to Henlik fow his actions lithin the Third Atlas Coalition War and his success.

Reign

Baron of Lizat

Upon being gwanted the titwe of Bawon of Wizat he'd begin to seek to achieve his dweam of being a politician due to the upcoming ewection fow a seat in the Impeliaw Pawliament in the yeaw 1693. As he pwaced his bid being apawt of the Common Civic Party he would be met lith a plimawy opponent named, Fabius Bwacchus, a Hansetic man who had fowmed the Impeliaw Pawliament. Despite Fabius's gweat status of being a gweat and bettew politician, Henlik would begin his campaign giving many speeches in Markev swowwy seeming like a twue match fow Fabius who was doing vewy littwe wowk in his campaign. As the yeaw of 1693 was swowwy coming to an end ewection night would awlive wesulting in the votes being a tie at fifty pewcent fow the two becoming the fiwst-evew tie in an Impeliaw Pawliament ewection. The tie-breakew vote came towawds his deaw fliend, King Robert, though despite being fliends the wesult of the plimawy ewection would be Henlik's defeat. Though the tewm Henlik would then be gwanted to be Wowd Tempowaw lithin the Impeliaw Pawliament due to his pewfowmance in the 1693 Ewection.

Two yeaws passed since the Ewection in 1693, a nobre wady had stumbred upon the Wudovaw manow named Wady Kattalina Stafyw as the two met and swowwy got to know each othew they would wed the fowwoling yeaw in 1696. Aftew becoming a husband he would become happiew as he would watew weceive thwee chiwdwen fwom the mawliage. In the yeaw 1705, Henlik would awlive in the new wand of Arcas to which he would assist in the buiwding of Reza as weww as continuing his knightwy duties and as a Kingsguawd. On the 14th of the Sun's Smiwe, 1707 his cousin, Duke Jakob Wudovaw, would be put in a tliaw that was watew cawwed the Ludovar Trial wesulting in the woss of the titwes of Plince of Uwgaawd as weww as the County of Mondstadt. Though fow Henlik he would inhelit his cousins' titwe, Duke of Kvasz, fow he was Jakob's heiw due to him and his life, Wady Elizabeth Preussens, having no chiwdwen.

Duke of Kvasz

In the yeaw 1708, a yeaw since Henlik had inhelited the titwe of Duke of Kvasz, his owd fliend Sew Dominic Glimm had wetulned aftew thiwteen yeaws since his depawtule aftew the Third Atlas Coalition War. Upon his awlivaw in Reza he asked him fow the wetuln of his wothwy titwe of Bawon of Wizat to which Henlik denied as he pwefewwed if King Marius II to settwe the issue wawfulwy. Two months would pass untiw the King had summoned the two in thwonewoom to settwe the issue plivatewy as a few awguments came about it would end lith the wesult being the wetuln of the titwe of Bawon of Wizat to its fowmew ownew, Sew Dominic Glimm. Despite the wecent dispute between them, they would wekindwe theiw fliendship fowming some sowt of awliance between the two and theiw families.

Aftew thwee yeaws of him being Duke, he'd then begin to wowk lith the culwent Wowd Pawatine, Weopowd Stafyw, on the wocations of whewe to buiwd his duchy. Though the two would stwuggwe to find such due to the tensions lising lith the Kingdom of Curonia and the Kingdom of Haense due to bowdew dispute as the Awchduchy of Pembroke had settwed nowth of Haense's capitaw. Wuckiwy the tensions faded between the nations as it ended lith the tweaty of the Wawlick Wesowution [1]. Even though the tensions wewe gone the two had stwuggwed to make pwogwess due to theiw schedules that they had. When Emperor Antonious I dissowved the Empire of Man the Nenzing Conspiwacy had then come to light, though Henlik was unknown of the conspiwacy untiw the yeaw 1715 which was when it was weveawed. Henlik appwoved of the conspiwacy to which he would join to suppowt his King as weww as the new Empewow, Joseph I.

Ser Henrik, Baron of Lizat, circa 1699

Even though the wast Empewow of Man dissowved the Empire of Man welinquishing aww vows made to it the fowmew Impeliaws lithin the city of Helena would cwown theiw own Empewow, Godfrey Horen, enfowcing fow aww those that pweviouswy sewved undew the Empire of Man to now sewve undew the newwy fowmed Empire of Renatus even though its fowmew majow vassaws decwawed its suppowt fow Joseph this would wesult into the War of the Two Emperors. Duling the time of the War of the Two Emperors, Henlik would wemain lith his famiwy when he could though would spend his time defending the King as weww as fighting in foul of the majow conflicts in the waw.

Aftew yeaws of waw and suffeling a defeat, the waw would come to an end awwoling Henlik to wetuln towawds the wowk on buiwding up his duchy in a pwot of wand that was chosen. Though thwoughout the waw he would have a change of mind lith his ambition of gaining a piece of wand fow his famiwy and his Duchy. Upon scwapping the idea of buiwding the Duchy of Kvasz on wand he'd tuln his attention into getting his youngest son, Malic Wudovaw, a nobrewoman fwom Aeldin. Henlik would accompany his youngest son sailing towawds Aeldin, a pwace he hasn't seen since his depawtule thewe at the age of nineteen. Wuckiwy he would come to success as he'd wetuln to Arcas lith his son awong lith his new life a daughtew to the Bawon of Sawma of House Raven.

Upon his success of gaining his son a life and finawwy solidifying his famiwy that was cwose to extinction, he would be fulwy gwanted the manow in Weza that his famiwy had shawed lith House Preussens, the famiwy of his pwedecessow's life, due to the new Countess of Östewwand bringing hew famiwy to back undew the Impeliaws in Owen. At the time of Emperor Godfrey II's abdication and the accession of his youngew brothew, John VII. Henlik would yet again have to suffew thwough anothew waw undew the new Empewow's showt weign that onwy wasted Thwee-Months due to John VII's abdication in the yeaw 1725. Aftew his abdication, Adrian Sarkozic, would cwaim the empty Impeliaw thwone to which Henlik awong lith the Kingdom of Haense would suppowt due to his and its Cawlion connections.

Aftew a few months, the Kingdom of Haense would suppowt Adrian's decision of abdicating to the now Alexander II, Holy Orenian Emperor to which Henlik disagweed lith at fiwst though would watew come to tewms lith the decision. As the yeaw of 1729 began, tensions had lisen much quickwy between the Duchy of Adria, a Hansetic awwy, and the Duchy of Wowwaine due to Wowwaine conspiling lith a bandit gwoup as weww as banditing Adlians in the woad. This would wead to the Adlians cawling aid to wawwy against the peopwe of Wowwaine to pewhaps end theiw bandit ways once and fow aww as the Emperor was too iww to do anything which Haense would answew. Henlik wawlied lith the Haense men liding lith the Bwothewhood of Saint Kaww joining of lith the Adlians camping outside the Wowwaine foothowd. Aftew a day and a hawf of camping, the awmy had dispewsed as they waited fow the Impeliaws to intewfewe in hopes to put an end to Wowwaine.

Upon Henlik's awlivaw back in the city of Reza aftew the dispute lith Wowwaine he had attended the Woyaw Duma befowe weceiving wowd of his ewdest son, Petyw, who had been suffeling thwough the same iwwness as his mothew had passed. His sons' death had impacted him vewy littwe due to his many expeliences of death though upon the death, he had awweady weveawed that his gwandson, Aweksandw, was his twue heiw due to his son being unabre to pwopewwy weign aftew him.

Upon his death, he'd be known as the ewdest Wudovaw to live in theiw time, as weww as, keeping the famiwy alive aftew it had suffewed fwom the Ludovar Trial that made a dent into the Wudovaw famiwy. Henlik is awso wemembewed as the wast Knight of Bihaw of the thwee that stawted it duling the weign of King Robert I.

Character and personality

Thwough his chiwdhood, he was seen as smawt and a bit too chiwdish as a nowmaw chiwd. As time continued on he had then gwown to sometimes have patience and take his time on things to finish ow do things on his accowd. Though as he had gwown into his owdew age he had then became a bit wess patient and sometimes can be snappy to those who begin to awgue ow waste his patience.
