He is the warrior priest of the Blue Phoenixian church in Cymru and currently helps govern certain matters the Kingdom of Councils and the town of Fortuna in the Viodoxan province of Silvay. He associates himself with many groups and organizations, as well as government officials from all around Rathnir, but most of his time is spent training his skills,leading the Viesten order and completing contracts around all continents of Rathnir and helping his father Flavius in matters involving the town of Fortuna and local Cymru politics.

He wishes to one day, when he has established a family and made sure his children and relatives are looked after,retire and work as a dedicated and pious follower of the Blue Phoenixian church and build his own palace home where he will spend his last days in peace, unlike most of his life which was spent in wars and conflicts.

Life in Ryzan
Not much is known about Kogan, he was born during the Coalition wars, and after a unfortunate castle siege, his parents were forced to abandon him as he was presumed dead. He was taken in by a group of Ryzani farmers, and throughout much of his early life was a trouble maker,frequently stealing and being up to all kinds of mischief. After his ship crashed, he suffered a tough head injury which lead to him having some sort of hallucinations and his conscience conflicting with stories from a whole different world or continent.

He was found by Agone Jegar,Lukaerys and Ge o in a town called Donklasgrad in the county of Remtal where he spent most of his adolescent years. Agone recruited him into the Viesten order where he was trained in swordfighting and strategy and not long passed and he became a co-leader of the order. In Donklasgrad he found the religion of the Blue Phoenix, and swiftly became a believer. Kogan was enlisted into the Remtali marine corp and his mercenary work took him around Rathnir, where he met a lot of his friends. Shortly before the start of the Ryzani civil war, Kogan and his friend Agone moved to Viodoxa where he found his father Flavius and his mother Kaiserin and moved into the town of Fortuna.

Early life

After his head injury, Kogan doesnt recall much of his early life, and more of his seemingly fictional stories about a unknown realm. Some of his best friends managed to put a story together from his frequent flashbacks, nightmares and the little he knew when they found him. He was a noble or person of influence in a ancient empire not known to exist anywhere in the realms of Rathnir and Eldham, he had many friends and enemies, a wife and status in a country named Stormgarde(this is a assumption due to his nightmares often being about the ruins of a place named Stormgarde), back there he was known as The Iron Hammer of Stormgarde which is why he got the middle name Martillus.

Banditry
Even though he is a man of his word, and is known for his honor and loyalty, his childhood and adolescent years were ones filled with conflict,banditry and mischief due to his social status at the time and is often found practicing the skills he gained during his early life and is very much so willing to bandit and cause chaos to individuals who deserve it and people who have money to spare. Kogan has very much made a return to banditing and some of the ways he has known since his childhood, however he has set some morals and codes to prevent him from going too far and straying too much from the path he set out for himself.

Mercenary work

Most of the contracts he participated in were on behalf of the Viesten Knight Order.

His line of work came with benefits, he met some great friends all over Rathnir, from the forests of Ryzan, to the snowy mountains of Varandoy all the way to the deserts of the KoC and the shores of Viodoxa and Eisenland. He has participated in many wars and has proven to be a skilled tactician and a formidable warrior.During the Ummarnu war he proved himself to Zeandro, and after they became friends he went from being a advisor to high council member and Minister of defence,PvP and war. His best performances were in the wars for the KoC, wars in the Varandoy-Aestyrian kingdom,the Siege of Fortuna as a defender,Siege of Fornost as a attacker, and several other smaller and medium sized conflicts.

Life in Viodoxa

Kogan and his friend Agone moved to Viodoxa where he found his father Flavius and his mother Kaiserin and moved into the town of Fortuna. He is active in local and international Viodoxan politics and now calls the province of Silvay, and town of Fortuna his true home where he spends most of his time and knows many people. There he adopted his son Rahn, who he took under his wing to train in fighting,strategy,diplomacy and administrative business.He was a citizen of the Viodoxan succesor state of Seratov and fought against the cowardly Karolians in the Fortuna independence war, where many of the local lords and higher ups noticed his skill in leading and gathering a army as well as fighting and negotiating peace.

He served as a soldier before the collapse of the old Archonate and is currently affiliated with Loic the Uniter and his rebellion.

His time in the Viesten order

Kogan was recruited into Viesten by Agone Jegar and through combat and leading he gained the rank of co-leader. during a short period of inactivity by Agone, Kogan built up the order and hired many of its members and found many of its allies, Viesten is known to be friendly with the skilled fighting group called the Goons, a bandit guild named Osseus and many other undergroudd groups and organizations.Amongst Kogan's most loyal friends and Viesten members are Hiiro,Jericho,Shohen,Piratefrogg,Fleefo,Noodle,Shinso and qwtt. During his time as Grand Master and co-leader, Viesten has completed around 70 war contracts,bounties,assasinations,etc and after the forced leave of Agone due to his involvement in some deep state affairs he appointed Jericho as his right hand man and co-leader.Under his leadership Viesten created a elite bucelarii unit and now boasts some of the most skilled knights and fighters in all of Rathnir.

The march of the exiles and the Archonal Union of Viodoxa

Kogan was one of the leading individuals in the events of the March of the exiles, and was upon victory chosen to be the Prime Minister of the Archonal Union, The Viesten order was one of the many groups key to the victory of the Loicists. Many of his friends were turned against him during this war and Kogan asked himself many times if the things he was doing was worth it, but then he remembered a man he looked up to, whose vision of a nation inspired him to continue every time he had doubts, Loic and his vision of a great and powerful nation, based on everything he supported led by people he supported kept him going.

Although he believed in what he was doing, the amount of stress caused by the war led Kogan away from the principles of the Blue Phoenix, and he sometimes finds himself lost, confused, and some of the recent events regarding his family and his father Flavius' illness he sees as punishment from the Phoenix.
