Viathan Aleksandr Othaman was born in the Holy Orenian Empire, as the first born son of Sergei Othaman & Elizabeth Azareal Winter and the heir to the County of Valles. He currently serves as an Ensign Infantryman in the Imperial State Army.

Early Life

Viathan was born during the end of the Inferi War, as the Orenian forces fled North. At last, they'd reached their final destination in Arcas and held in the Eye of Man; where the old Kingdom of Curon once stood. Elizabeth Winter gave birth to the young heir as the demons began to encroach on the Empire, driving them, at last, to Almaris. He often stuck beside his mother or his father, attending courts and wandering through Providence with his younger siblings.

Early Adult Life

Late into the winter of 1821, Kelhus Vladimir Othaman, the second eldest son of Elizabeth Winter and Sergei Othaman privately sent a letter to Erik Ruthern, Count of Kositz, the current Speaker of the House of Lords. Within the letter, Kelhus accused his older brother, Viathan of being an illegitimate child and thus not fit to be Heir to the County and Viscounty of Valles. Two days later, Erik Ruthern sent a private message to both Kelhus and Viathan requesting them to attend a private hearing in Providence. Viathan in response, published a missive; A Cry to Heathen's Ears [1] detailing his frustration. Later the same day, both Kelhus and Viathan arrived in Providence at the House of Lord's hearing where the Lords firstly expressed their displeasure that Viathan had made the accusations a public matter. After numerous hours had passed, Erik Ruthern announced the verdict, declaring Viathan to be the legitimate child of Elizabeth Winter and Sergei Othaman [2].

Two years later in 1823, the same brother proclaimed himself the Rightful Heir to the County of Valles & formally challenged Viathan to a duel to first blood or yield [3]. After a cease and desist order is issued on Kelhus by the Baron of Halcourt [4] along with being pressured from his betrothed, Kelhus renounced his claim [5]. The following morning, Viathan responded with another public missive [6], insulting the claimant; "Careful how you proceed, good man, for you’re just as intemperate as our father. Revoke your traitorous statements, or prepare to bleed, good man...".

It's currently unknown what the young Heir does, now; though it's presumed that he presides within the County of Valles and tends to his children alongside Mary Casimira, his betrothed.

Military Service

Viathan was conscripted into the army at 14 by the then-Lieutenant Porphrio Roger, though didn't become active duty until his mid-20's. He currently serves as an Ensign to the First Brigade Infantry.
