Chorboi Etruscii

King Chorboi Etruscii I is the Diarch of the Thalozar Union, King & Duke of Thalassii. Once only a Viodoxan lesser noble, founded his first city Thebanii and dynasty (The Etruscii House). After being exiled from his home, he and his people would travel across Rathnir, before settling in Sparwood to before creating his own independent nation, The Kingdom of Thalassii. There he built a new capital city on the Isle of Thalassii, Nova Thebanii meaning New Thebanii, an ode to their former homeland.

Appearance, Race and Physiology
Chorbois appearance is noted as being quite striking with flowing silvery hair paired with golden skin and gleeming purple eyes. He is also a fairly tall, stong and athletically built indiviudal, well suited for warfare and the turbulant nature of being king. These particular traits make him seem somewhat of an enigma as it is rare to anything like it in the known world. He also looks extremely young for his age due to the slowed aging that he has experianced once he hit puberty, suspected to be the Dragonblood flowing through him.

From these traits it is believed that he is half Dragonblood ed derived from his mysterious father and half human inherited from his mother. Dragonbloods are an ancient race of humans said to be descended from gods and men, known for their extremely long lives with the addition to some having Dragon Dreams premonitions of future events, or the will of the gods. While Chorboi has dragon blood within, he is only a half blood meaning that he will likely not live as long as a full blooded being, also explaining why some traits like his golden skin, arent seen in other Dragonblooded.

Personality
Chorboi is for the most part quite a gregarious and wise individual, with his long life he has seen many things and has experienced the good and bad of the world, he thrives on good company and friends around him, and also places much trust in people, even though is long years has taught him many times not to. He tries to see the best in people even though it may not be in the best of interested to do so. Chorboi, being a Monarch for a lot of his life also has shown himself to be a capable leader, fully prepared to lead troops into battle if the need arises, ruthless in protecting his land and his people and willing, any means necessary to protect them. Also proving him to be quite shrewd and pragmatic, proving to be quite a effective diplomat, and effective steward contributing to the massive wealth he has accumulated and the prosperity of his Kingdom.

However, along with his positive traits, there are some flaws. With his old age he has become extremely impatient often becoming quite irritated at small things, and on some instances hard to negotiate with if provoked making him quite stubborn. He can also have a volatile temper on occasion when he believed he has been wronged flying into a rage making him wild and hard to deal with, this is attributed to the believed Dragonblood he was born with, and past experienced his trust has been betrayed. He also has a deep sense of pride, while sometimes this could be helpful it can also cloud his judgement and not lead to the best decisions being made.

Early Life and Origins
Not much is know about Chorboi's early days, a lot of what we do know is hearsay and not definitely true. Chorboi was born in the deep jungles of Libertalia to modest parents, not particularly wealthy, but parents who tried their best to look after their son as best as they could, and provide him with the best knowledge that he needed to survive in the wilds of Rathnir. We do know his father was a competent bladesmith and hunter who taught Chorboi how to use a sword from an early age and hunt for game in the rainforest and nearby tundra's in Libertalia and nearby Silvay. However his father was also a very mysterious man and would vanish for months on end without telling the family, no one ever did find out what he was doing in this time. The signature purple eyes of Chorbois family is said to have been inherited from him. His mother was said to have been a herbalist, teaching Chorboi many tinctures and medicines, he could quickly fashion in the wilderness if he was ever in need. One of the most imprtant figures of his early life was Elijah An Scha Fáidh Etruscii his adopted uncle and fathers most trusted friend, who has been around for as long as he could remember. He taught him many things, knowledge from ages past, wars and stories told. Introducing the young boy to the pantheon of Lutheriansim and teaching him the legends of each of the 12 gods. For the most part we know that he spent much of his early years, learning to read a write, and working with his father and uncle, however one day he mysteriously disappeared leaving Chorboi and his Mother to fend for themselves. Until one day a passing noble walked through their village, and impressed with the young Chorbois intellect, took him on a a squire in a castle not far from his home village. Chorboi would routinely bring money back for his ailing mother in her last years, but she died only a couple of years into Chorbois squirehood. The grief from his father leaving and now Chorboi seemed too much to bare.

Time as a Squire & Becoming a Man
After being accepted as a squire for a local lord, Chorboi spent much of his teenage years helping his master in mostly in simple tasks, such as saddling and looking after his horse and scrubbing his armour. It wasn't a glamourous life by any means, however it was vital, as the knowledge he gained in these few years, served him for a lifetime. He was taught to properly wield a sword, and in times of war would fight at his masters side. He also learned much of how a city, and land is effectively managed and administrated further expanding his knowledge, later used to create his own city, then nation. Shortly after hitting the age of 18 and becoming a man, Chorboi was knighted, and given status as Sir Chorboi shortly after leaving Libertalia to explore Rathnir, helping different lords and kings along the way.

Settling in Libertalia and the Founding of Thebanii
After spending a couple of years travelling rathnir, seeing many different cultures and identities and serving many various lords Chorboi decided to return to his birthplace and found his own his own city, which he would name Thebanii on the 20th September 2021. Thebanii was to be located in the jungle of Libertalia, in a province located in then known Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa. Chorboi along with this established the Principality of Thebanii creating the basis of the monarchy the Kingdom of Thalassii was later based on. It was a small city state including the cities of Thebanii and Salapet. The city quickly grew into a major centre of commerce and religion in the area, boasting a grand market and the grand lutherian temple, a holy sit of the Lutherian religion. Everything was going well for a few years until the Libertalian Independence War threw the region into chaos.

The Libertalian Indepenence war, Chorbois Death and Resurrection
After many years of peace and prosperity, trouble finally arrived at Thebanii's doorstep. The city of Salapet ( A vassal of the Principality of Salapet) was found to be encroaching on the neighbouring duchy of Silvays land, which in turn resulted in a small border conflict between Thebanii and Silvay forces. This small spark would set in motion the Libertalian Independence War and forever change the politics of Cymru, Viodoxa and Rathnir as a whole. The Viodoxans responded harshy, sending in their army and slaughtering innocent civilians of Salapet and Thebanii, crushing the small militia forces stationed there in the process. Chorboi along with the high council and his two adopted brothers Dufaug and Ieldore formed the rest of their men into a small fighting force and prepared to fight back. Enraged at the harsh actions of the Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa Duke BeanManJones of the Libertalian Province declared independence started to fight back against the Viodoxans. The fighting cumalated in the Battle of Thebanii, the fighting was brutal, with both sides taking heavy casualties, it was in this battle Chorboi was captured and dragged into the Viodoxan camp and beheaded. As he felt the life fade away and his soul drift to the stars, his mind at peace and at one with his fate; He heard a whisper  It is not your time Chorboi, you have many things to do left in this world, many battles to fight and problems to overcome, but now is not your time, go back into the world and do what you need to do . In a flash Chorboi awoke, lying on the Grand Lutherian Temple floor,  Luther saved me, he thought  Chorboi knew there was a reason he was brought back into this world and he would start by saving his people. He rushed back into Thebanii and the council chamber, startling his brothers and councilers who all thought he was dead, however his uncle Elijah An Scha Fáidh Etrussii was unusually calm. They convened throughout the night and decided it would be best to leave their homeland, and the next day began preparing their people to leave in search of a new land, free from the clutches of their oppressors.
