Drazenos Leior the Great

Drazenos Leior (x x 4629 - x x 4692), commonly known as Drazenos Leior the Great, was a 47th century Aidisese statesman and general. The first son of Narmer Leior, a minor general and descendant of the House of Leior, and Agiana Aprezzia, a renegade Xemarian princess, Drazenos was and is remembered for his leadership during the Great Wars. A charismatic orator, skilled strategist, and able administrator, he was also nicknamed "Untouchable" due to the fact that he miraculously never sustained any major injuries during his entire career.

Unorthodox and creative in his methods, Drazenos played a large role in developing crossbow trench warfare, as well as keeping Aidis stable and protected from Cedarinian invasions. He quickly rose through the military ranks in his 20s, became a general and Senator by age 33 (a feat his father never accomplished), and was appointed Head Senator at age 39. A period of internal conflict following the death of Emperor Palus IV in 4677 forced Drazenos into exile at Don Constans. He returned to his position as Head Senator with the enthronement of Daius XIII in 4685, who was his lifelong friend and equal. His return to power was short-lived, however, with a large-scale Cedarinian invasion. Although he admirably fought back against Cedarinian forces, he was outmaneuvered by his lifelong rival Prince Daigong and his protégé Crown Prince Ling and forced to retreat to Don Holden. The following siege of Don Holden resulted in the death of Daius XIII, the loss of the city, and the beginning of the Cedarinian occupation. Drazenos would shortly die thereafter.

Despite a tragic end to what had been up until then a remarkable career, Drazenos is the most celebrated and remembered member of the Leior family of the Great Wars era, second only to his son Narmer Leior. Even in Cedarin and other Kensalan states, he is considered to have been a respectful and worthy opponent to Prince Daigong, as the two encountered each other often during the wars and shared a mutual respect.
