Leeicus Nasha Maximos

Joining The Server
Lee joined the Stoneworks server on March 3rd wandering for his first day on the server. Yearning to join a nation and make a name for themselves, they joined the Viodoxan discord but didn't feel connected to it. Later he would join the Theios-Essukdal discord and after being welcomed. He decided it was the nation for him. After making it to the capital he would be greeted by StoryStudio who would tour him and Sir_Pontios around Urnu-Arrak. He then settled in Amos for his first few days of the server.

Career
Lee first became a Knight of Jirn soon after its founding, claiming the land for them but not becoming Sahrad until weeks afterwards. They then became a Theioist Inquisitor along with Soviet Panda, snakegamerplayz(Illinar), and thefunsheepy, lead by Grand Inquisitor, at the time, DrLunkin. After weeks of owning Jirn but not being made Sahrad the new Ningal of Theios-Essukdal, Mistic the 2nd, officially crowned him Sahrad of Jirn. Lee would go on to make Jirn into a fortress and city, combining with Postrum-Nova and Myractus to make Ponstantinople. And on April 10th 2021 he would be granted the role of Grand Theiosian Inquisitor by DrLunkin after he had became a Religious Patriarch along with Ghastly_Bespoke.

After the reformations reverting Theios-Essukdal into Yimmu-Audal all religious roles were severely weakened and many were eliminated. Lee was also affected and his role as Grand Inquisitor was eliminated. Now just the Sahrad of Jirn he had gained big ambitions for the city, planning to rebuild and industrialize the whole town. Lee would be quite lucky though and soon after he became the sole Sahrad of Anosphiae after the death of Sir Pontios Oppédóm and DrLunkin leaving to live in Escharia. Anosphiae includes 4 major cities, Jirn, Postrum-Nova, Yirs-Rock, and Serenes. He later became the Count of Anoshphey (later renamed to Stomeste) though this does not change his plans.

Ethnicity
Lee was originally thought to be purely of Pontinne blood but has found out new interesting things. One day he had realized that the flower crown that his fiancé had given him had not withered away, a trait that the Pontinne peoples did not posses. He knew that the within the ranks of the Caeden people’s there are Keitens, having the ability to grow plants on their foreheads. With this he assumed he was not entirely a Keiten, only inheriting some of their traits. When he approached his brother Nyles about this he was shocked to learn that he already knew of this.

Lee’s mother had been a Keiten and his father a mix of Pontinne and Niedene blood, explaining why he inherited only a few of each traits or why some are not as noticeable.

Familial ties
Lee is the head of the Maximi royal family of the Pontanidian culture, one of the 4 present day royal families. The Maximi family originated in Southern Neida but fled East toward a unknown country after the Pontinne tribes main settlement was raided and the people scattered about. Lee was initially named Leecius Nasha Maximus, after his father Loceos Josten Maximus, but was called Lee for short. He is the adoptive father of 3 sons, Illinar, Erevan, and Rat. M Jones Maximus, though Illinar passed away on 5/18/21.

After the death of the Pontinne Patréarchae, Pontios, who was the cultures head, the Pontinnes experienced a fading out. The foundation of the Caicuria Holy Family only quickened its demise. Founded by Longbow and Ghastly Caicuria, the Caicuria's would grow quickly after the adoption of Nyles, Lee, Jantro, and the birth of Subica Caicuria. The Cairurias would come to dominate many positions, both religious and secular, becoming a prominent family in Yimmu-Audal.

Backstory
The original Pontaniedian tribes were driven out of Southern Neida by unknown armies raiding their settlements, the Maximi family would flee East and settle in unknown lands. 3 generations after settling down in their new home with other Pontaniedian refugees, they had become prominent blacksmiths, business owners, and political leaders. The surrounding leaders grew jealous of their power and wealth and sent armies to completely eradicate their towns. Fleeing to the newly unified Theios-Eddukdal and settling in the County of Anoshphey.

Lee was among the refugees who fled to Theios-Essukdal, but their journey was not done yet. The hostile leaders of the other towns chased after them with their armies, massacring the fleeing peoples. After months of fleeing the Pontinne refugees were tired of being attacked and so they planned to fight back. Battle plans were formed to lure the armies into a trap. Armor and weapons were distributed to all who could fight and when the armies finally came, the plan was set into motion. They were lead into a valley where then the entrances were blocked and the makeshift regiments of the fleeing people’s came down the mountains, destroying the whole army. Many casualties were taken, such as Lee’s parents, and he was taken in by another family to be raised by until he could be self sufficient.

This was the start of the refugees being a militaristic and moving people. Villages that complied with them were greeted warmly, those that didn’t were burned. Lee didn’t understand why they did this or why they had been fleeing so long to a land so far but there was no turning back to go home now. It took 10 years for the refugees to arrive to Theios-Essukdal, settling in Jirn. Their militaristic culture stayed with them and they formed the Knights of Jirn, fortifying the city.

Marriage
Before his marriage Lee spent a lot of time alone, thinking and working on things for the city of Anosphiae, later renamed to Jirn. Also partaking in hobby’s such as cooking, reading, and designing architecture. He did not think much of finding a partner, though sometimes he would wish for it. After being the last Caicuria in his generation who had not been married he started to make jokes about it. However at one point he yearned to be with someone, to share experiences with, to love and share a new start with. Luckily for Lee his brother, Nyles, has offered to help him a partner. Using his connections to find suitors. Eventually Nyles had found someone, named Erissa Ekoradi.

Nyles but the two in contact and they soon started exchanging letters. Many months later they had planned to meet at Anosphiae, when the time finally came Lee was ecstatic, though incredibly nervous. When they met Lee stumbled on his words profusely but his nervousness subsided when he warmed up to Eris. They would learn many things about each other and by the time Erissa had to leave, Lee had grown attached to her.

After more months had passed and visiting each other many times, the two came closer and closer together and eventually Lee had come up with a plan. Next time Eris visited Lee he was prepared with a ring, asking Eris to marry him. And she said yes, falling into Lee’s arms. Their wedding would not be grand like his brothers, rather, it would be small but Lee did not care. As long as he had his friends and spouse he would be happy. Wholesome stories are the best, change my mind.

Personality and Hobbies
Lee is not one for big events, rather he is quite reserved and mostly keeps to himself. Though he is more open with those he trusts. He tends to be gentle and kind to everyone he can and is not very vocal. Instead he listens to what others want and their opinions. Lee also loves to spend time with those he loves and cares about, whether it is calmly drinking tea, building, or fishing with them. He is much calmer than his younger self, instead of drinking alcohol he drinks teas and coffee. He thinks on something rather than on acting on impulses. Lee always tries to be patient with others, taking a long time of pestering to finally anger him. When he is serious or stressed, such as when conducting business or when his duties keep him from sleeping, he has a strong and sharp tone.

Lee had always been fascinated with cooking, even during his younger years he had been interested in it. He especially likes to make soups and stews, which comes in handy when taking care of sickly ones. Lee also enjoys reading some of the many books he has collected, especially those that speak of history and literature. Finally, he is interested in design and architecture, helping design most of the buildings that are seen in modern day Jirn.

Children and the Death of Erissia
Shortly before the death of Erissia, Lee’s first wife, she gave birth to 2 fraternal twins, Leigh and Nylah. Nylah would look very similar to Eris while acting more like her father. Leigh would be the opposite, looking like her father and acting like her mother. Both reminded him of the many fond memories he had with Erissia, they would be Lee’s link to the past, making sure that the memory of his wife never truly faded away.

Erissia committed suicide on December 8th 2021 in the ruins of Ornemere. Lee heard of her death when a messenger came to his door, bearing the wedding ring he gave her those many years ago and the final letter he would ever get from her. The letter said: “I love you and hope you can move past my death. Continue to be the kind-hearted, cheerful, and respectable leader and father. Take care of our children, care for them above all else. -Sincerely, Eris”

At first he thought that it couldn’t have been true, and held out hope that she would be there the next day, or the next… or the next. But each day that hope faded, until eventually it finally went out. This brought Lee to his breaking point and it would have succeeded in causing a full breakdown if it wasn’t for 1 thing, his newborns. He knew that he had to pull through to care for them, and so he did. Making sure to protect them from any threat that endangered them and hoping they would grow up to be stronger than he could ever be.
