Juan Mendez was one of the founding members of the Kingdom of Hyspia, and was the first Head Steward and Hand of the Crown of the nation up until his death in 1793.
Early Life
Juan was born into the Hyspian Nomad Tribe, following them around the Northern mountains of Arcas. When he was 22, He fathered his firstborn child, Carlos Mendez. He was one of the first people to settle in the new Hyspian nation alongside his Tribe and Family, eventually joining the Hyspian Militia and later the Hyspian Monarchist Army. After proving himself a loyal and capable man in the Army, he gained the recognition of the Royalty, becoming Head Steward of Hyspia after being appointed by King Cesar of Hyspia. Juan continued to both serve in the military and go about his duties as the Head Steward, becoming considered as one of the key founders of the Nation.
Tenure as Head Steward (1792-1793)
As the first Head Steward, it was up to Juan to define what exactly the Steward's guild would be capable of. He went on to build multiple housing units and city utilities and built the Steward's Guild Headquarters, all per request of King Cesar. Concurrently, he began hiring younger and more capable citizens into the Guild in order to easily achieve his goals of building up the City. His time as Head Steward also faced problems, mainly his conflict with another Hyspian by the name of Pedro Gonzalez. The Feud was on the brink of bloodshed until the King himself intervened in order to save the City of bloodshed and controversy.
Military Career
As Head Steward, Juan was also responsible for the military operations of Hyspia. Therefore, King Cesar I gave him command of the Hyspian Monarchist Army in order to handle the Hyspian-Bandit war. After scouts reported to Juan and Cesar that a Bandit Army had rallied north of Tierre Natal, Juan began a recruitment and armament campaign in order to bolster the arms and ranks of the Army. After this was finished, Juan took the Army and marched out to meet the Bandits in battle. This resulted in the Battle outside Tierre Natal. After his victory, Juan became known as a distinguished military commander and a fearsome warrior. However, this would be cut short as Juan was later killed in the Mendez-Gonzalez feud by Pedro Gonzalez.
