Richard de Reden Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Kaedrin Born: 15th of Grand Harvest 1695, Reden, Aeldin House: de Reden Spouse: Athena de Densele Mirray Fhuji Father: Commodus of Marna (adoptive)

Richard de Reden, also known known as Viktor Orban, (15 of Grand Harvest 1695 – Present) is the current Governor-General and de-facto leader of the Commonwealth of Kaedrin and patriarch of House de Reden.

Arch-Lector of Owyn's Flame

With the beginning of the War of the Two Emperors, Richard had assembled a band of Owynist zealots and Imperial veterans and with the Emperor's decree, established the Owynsfort and the Monastery of Guise, from where the '2nd Imperial Brigade, Owyn's Creed' can operate. While conducting numerous successful attacks against the Renatians and their allies, such as the confiscation of several thousand minae from Norlander smugglers, the band was also enforcing Canonist Law in many of the Orenian cities - which came into direct conflict with local and Imperial law.

Baron of Caer Bann

After the conclusion of the War of the Two Emperors, the remnants of Owyn's Flame and newly conscripted pioneers headed to the Easternmost coast of Arcas, the Boarswood, in hopes of establishing a new home, away from Pertinaxi prosecution. A marvelous castle, Caer Bann, would be built, and from there was established a Mercenary Company by the same name. Being contracted by Curon and later on the Republic of Ves, the Company owed its success to a well organized rank structure, drawing heavy inspiration from manuscripts of the old Army of Kaedrin, and a sense of camaraderie which developed in the halls of Caer Bann. At the invitation of [Adrian I of Kaedrin |Hadrian Helvets], the Company fully assimilated into the Republic of Ves and spearheaded the massacre of the Beet-boy terrorists, thus securing themselves a permanent contract as guards of Ves. During this time, Richard, dubbed 'Last of the Sparrows' and Helton Helvets, also a descendant of the Kaedreni, had been working towards a permanent solution to the unstable nature of the Republic of Ves. The Duchy of Cathalon was soon declared by Hadrian Helvets, now Duke of Cathalon, and eventually the reformation of the Commonwealth of Kaedrin by an election of all living descendants to the Rhoswenii Houses.

Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Kaedrin

With the power change, the Caer Bann Company was fully integrated into Ves and was reestablished as the Army of Kaedrin, and Richard appointed Governor-General, the right-hand of the King. After some two decades of relatively stable reign, King Adrian I of Kaedrin's health deteriorated, and the Governor-General was forced to declare a martial law and guide the Commonwealth in the King's absence. With the declaration of martial law, many commoners and farmhands were forcefully conscripted in the military, however through propaganda and promises of equality, the new P.F.I Brigade saw Richard as the new hope for Kaedrin, and have been defending the city since.
