Biographical Information Familial Relations Physical Description Meta Information

Overview
Jonathan (full name, "Jonathan Rythias Lozharo") or more commonly known as Nate is the founding Sovereign of Lozaria. a nation in Sparwood. Nicknamed as 'The Thunderbolt'. Came into the world with nothing but the clothes on his back and a sense of rebirth taking hold in him, he would set off into the world on a journey of Self-discovery which took him across all corners of Rathnir, and parts of Eldham, early on he would decide to settle down on a island off the coast of Sparwood. Where he would call a Home, founding a city (Farrenore) and country of which he would become Sovereign of after facing prolonged trials and tribulations.

Appearance
Jonathan stands about 6'4 in height although it varied from certain stages of his long life. before his arrival onto Rathnir, he shared a more similar appearance akin to his Sister Xarahh Lozharo in his physique, previously that being a humanoid dragon with pointer ears with eyes that varied from being that of Ocean Blue to Light Blue with hair described as being dirty blonde, and having Lighter Complexion, his dragon horns, scales, wings and tail sporting a Golden hue that shimmered in the sunlight.

However upon his arrival onto Rathnir he took on the appearance of the likeness of a Human with his height and biology being unchanged, with his once pointer ears being more rounder and defined, with his once Blue eyes turning hazel, and hair now darker grey. He is typically seen in his Travelers Attire, in a Blue Shirt with a large fitted waistcoats lined with Golden worn on top, with leather-Brown Trousers, and black boots.

His change of appearance is alluded to be part of a charade, a illusion of sorts he conjured up for himself, to blend in amongst Human Kind, With the process being best described as one of incarnation into the mortal realm. With his ability in doing is a result of him being born amongst the Stars as a spiritual entity being that of a Ethereal Serpent like dragon that is accompanied by the sound of Thunder, hence the nickname of the Thunderbolt.

General Personality
Jonathan as a individual can be a rather curious, and fun-loving individual who held many progressive beliefs in his values, with it reflecting to how he raised his son Joryth with him being regarded as a fatherly figure to him. Additionally he is known for his capacity for showing empathy, feeling sorrowful to see the ones he loves get hurt or in pain even though didn't fully grasp or had a defined understanding of complex human emotion. despite this he always attempts to see the beauty in everything with him never caring too much for looks, and treated people as equals with him passing this trait down to Joryth.

On the other vain with his role of being a Political Leader of a Nation he grew to be known for stoicism and pragmatism being rather tough as nails in the face of adversity, showing to be rather decisive in both thought and deeds, never acting without thinking never leaving anything to chance with this being reflected in him in times of trouble instead of brooding over many pressing issues and matters, he would choose to shrug off his sorrows and plunge himself into his work. He is not above using unconventional means "if the ends justifies the means" showing himself to be readily capable of being ruthless as well as his shrewdness and cunning in calculations and efficiency, if the situation demands it although he does seeks out the most peaceable and diplomatic ends if they present itself as a possibility, with him seemingly disliking to make outright threats, and would make his disapproval felt not through words but overt actions. With his alignment being somewhat Chaotic Good.

Personality Flaws
Jonathan is a rather complicated figure as a person he didn't fully comprehend the depths of what is a human beings although he shows interest and fascination in humans beings in how they can live and grow to change and redefine themselves although he can oftentimes unintentionally come off as rather insensitive in certain situations to human beings as he previously on occasions referred to them as rather funny and adorable in a somewhat condescending manner. With him confiding in a close friend that he didn't have a real sense of humanity even to the extent of having no idea on how human love truly worked in the most nuanced aspects, this is further compounded by him appearing to be rather secretive and somewhat deceptive at times with him resigning himself to withholding certain darker truths about himself, people around him and certain events to spare the feelings of others with his tendency to withhold or hide information stemming from a unhealthy desire to protect those close to him, despite it weighing heavily on him self-consciously.

In regards to him as a ruler, while Jonathan is intelligent enough to weigh political realities against a desire for personal, petty revenge and his skills at politics and administration cannot be denied, Underneath his calm exterior, that he presents himself to his adversaries, he shows to take on personal satisfaction in crushing anyone who openly humiliates or wrongs him or anyone close to him on a personal level although he only seeks this kind of vengeance when its the most practical move he can make as a result of his pragmatism with this making him regarded as a somewhat good strategist always going for strategies that produced the most results with him always having the endgame in mind with him.

Political
Jonathan's political beliefs appears to be that of not inherently favouring just one ideological approach more so than the other, using a blend of elements, from political ideologies and philosophic approaches in his Style of Rule, as the Ruler of Lozaria he would settle on the ideals of being a enlightened despot, characterising his rule as one of change with him exercising his political power for the benefit of the people, promoting the use of Reason and Tolerance in the push for Progress. However, although he wanted what's best for his people, his stance of taking a negative attitude on the general idea of Democracy, contradicts this outlook although he was not a complete proponent against democratic elements in a nation. He believed it simply had no place in the Nation, he would govern fundamentally because not everyone knows what's best for a country.

His viewpoint on the matter was a result of his numerous experiences in being under the rule and governances of so many other nations as well as come across. He described the masses when they attempt to come upon a consensus on any political matter, as more or less of the term of sheep, that are can be easily misdirected and swayed, through propaganda and the spread of misinformation diluted and funnelled in the public consciousness, this is further compounded with the present issues of possible corruption and outside forces affecting the votes and outlook of citizens, in better words Jonathan believed that yes citizens should get a voice in matters of state and to be able to steer the fate of their nation as they do have that right however it should be the ones who are aware and have a acute understanding of political framework and sociological issues at play in the state."What use is there to make the people vote on issues they simply do not know the context nor consequences thereof, it will lead to nothing but ruinous draw out disaster in the making."

- ── Jonathan Lozharo when privately speaking to a Friend.

Religious
The matter of religious beliefs never was a integral part of Jonathan's life, although he was somewhat inherent to the Soleannen Faith with him going on a pilgrimage to the Sunken City of Lileannen where he remained for a Night amongst the ruins, he never converted to the faith despite interest and his outward respect and admiration of the faith's Long drawn-out History, Culture Heritage and arts. This is attributed a number of factors, a notable example would be Jonathan Lozharo's attempt during his early visits to Vollressal to learn of the religion he would ask Anerias Magistri the Duke of Suderen at the time and unbeknownst to him his future Brother-in-law if he could teach him more about the faith and even how to convert, to which he seemingly brushed off of the topic, and moving on with another conversation topic leaving the matter to be dropped.

After his rise of becoming the Leader of Lozaria, Jonathan would adopt a policy of religious freedom and toleration in regards to the matter of religion in Lozaria this was a result of him having a abhorrent attitude towards religious indoctrination and forced conversions regarding it as being a morally wrong crime to do any non-believers to any faiths and is in poor taste from his perspective. "Do you know what kept me going through all the years of hardships and adversities? Faith... Not in any gods, myths or legends but in myself as Jonathan Lozharo."

Early Life
Little of his Past life before Rathnir is spoken much about especially his origins with him only speaking of them with his close family and friends when reminiscing of a much simpler time. What is known is that he was born amongst the stars, and that he had lived in multiple worlds prior outside that of Rathnir and Eldham, with the fate of them being obscure although the Lozharo's as a whole allude to them meeting somewhat tragic end.

Beginnings
Jonathan first made landfall on Rathnir in Yimmu-Audal. With his descent upon the land having seemed have lifted him of certain feelings with sense of rebirth having taken hold in him as a new chapter of his life having just begun. He first observed his surroundings he found himself in with him taking his first steps exploring the desecrated desert filled with sand dunes and scattered ruins extending from all the eye could see, As the desert sun blared down at him with its indomitable heat, that he shakes off. He would press on traveling north, having not encountered any other individuals, or towns until he crossed into the continent of Nieden, where he would encounter and narrowly survive a bandit, who pursued him for 300 blocks before losing interest. He would soon arrive on the continent of Sparwood through traveling along the shoreline of the Sea of Pearls. There he would meet up with Draggo, a old friend world he would reconnect with, he would be given food and given tour of his home at the Harbour Town of Ashbourne in the Kingdom of Reingard. Following their tour they would bid farewell to one another with Jonathan leaving with him eventually arriving on a deserted Island robbed of its natural resources, laid abandoned, although not a ideal place to start a home, he saw the potential for the island, and would begin settling on it, with him calling it Farrenore.

Farmer of Reingard
During his early days while Jonathan was settling Farrenore, he would often journey out to the Town of Ashbourne (Reingard) for a time. where he would work as a Humble Farmer, and living in a small house he built for himself in his stays in the Town. His experience there was rather uneventful with him rarely seeing the leader of Reingard. However his life in Reingard would end when bandits looted the city bare with his house being robbed of all his contents in the process. Leaving him to depart the ruined town to remain at Farrenore for a time before traveling out again in the World and leaving it under the regency of his Sister Xarahh Lozharo.

Resident of Konushum
In his travels across Rathnir he would come across a place known as 'Walmart' in the continent of Sørligste. Where he would encountered a mysterious man called Skavier Castellan III. Who began speaking to him, after a soft exchange of words, Skavier would invite Jonathan to live Konushum a City in Yimmu-Audal since he was fairly new to Rathnir, he accepted his offer and would travel with him to the city, he would be given a tour of the city and its surrounding settlements. He would settle down and a build a Humble Home at the banks of a river that flowed through the city. He would split his time in Konushum and Farrenore, with him farming, fishing and exploring the settlements and cities in the surrounding area with him being seen often passing through the Grizzlybear and Market55. He would eventually leave his home of Konushum, with him giving away his home and gifting Skavier a some of money and an abundant supply of berries. He would be directed to go back to Sørligste by Skavier to see the Capital of a city down there. Jonathan would head in that general direction but would not reach the city he spoke of. With him returning back to Farrenore where he reassumed being its lord.

Life in the Diarchy
When he reassumed his position as Lord of Farrenore he soon come to find out that his Town had been officially handed over to the Tzardom of Arxella, with him learning of his this he would work out a agreement with Ferrosmacka161 the Tzar of Arxella at the time which confirmed his position as the Lord of Farrenore and the safety of his citizen under the Tzardom, however shortly after the signing of the Lozarian Agreement, the Tzardom would merge with the Gertek Horde forming the Kartek Diarchy, which placed Farrenore under the new regime that took power in Northern Sparwood, in his time in the diarchy he lived a rather quiet existence in his hometown of Farrenore, although on occasion he would travel to the mainland to participate in certain events or to just explore and sometimes work on logistical projects, like Canal Building with him briefly serving as a unofficial Logistician to the Diarchy.

Although he tended to stay out of the Politics of the Diarchy he would increasingly realise the instabilities that were taking place within the country with their Diarchs seemingly alienating their nation, and the growing external as well internal issues becoming more widespread and evident, with him sensing that the nation would collapse. He on a number of occasions would voice his concerns though to his detriment it gets ignored. In the end his assessment that the Diarchy would dissolve were correct, it devolved into a chaotic cesspool of violence and death on the mainland which he would sorrowfully observe in the safety of his home at Farrenore, where he choose to not get involved in the violence.

Leader of Farrenore
Assumed the role of the Leader of Farrenore from very early into his life in Rathnir with him acquiring a number of titles over the course of the city switching hands between multiple nations with him serving as Lord throughout, with him holding the title of Lower Magister under the Frosterium for a time and before eventually Grand Duke of Farrenore after the establishment of Lozaria. In his time as the Leader of Farrenore, he led it in its Governance and Administration, with it under his careful direction and management growing and expanding into a flourishing city-state, at the South-Western Quarter of the Osterium Sea.

His policy when it came to both local and international affairs tended to be a policy of semi-isolationism from Local affairs tending to not get involved at all with affairs around them, with him maintaining ties to Volressal and would weigh in the affairs of his immediate surroundings on a number of occasions when it became of paramount Importance.

Sovereign of Lozaria
With chaos raging on in the Mainland, Farrenore's position and it citizens remained uncertain, with it switching hands between the Frosterium, Lansi, and at last Escharia, with him after a short rounds of talks, with Valerian I Iuris under his agreement, Jonathan would establish the Kingdom of Lozaria under the Protection of Escharia, On the day of his ascension Jonathan who previously observed the failures of leadership all around him for the longest time vowed to himself that he would do better and rise above all the mistakes and all who preceded him. With him in his tenure as the Sovereign of Lozaria. he would steer his nation through much of the turbulence of the Political landscape of Rathnir, with his nation in it's time observing a large number of major events in the world stage from the collapse of the Soleannen Empire of Escharia, the Uldarash and Viodoxan Civil Wars, the fall of Sapphire Commonwealth and so much more.

As a Sovereign he showed great capability in his position embracing and embodying it wholeheartedly as apart of his character, plunging himself into his work working tirelessly into seeing his realm prosper, with his skills at politics and administration being undeniable that is complemented with his subtle adept intelligence in regards in being able to weigh political realities against a desire for personal, petty revenge showing heightened levels of pragmatism putting forward a calm exterior even in the face of greater powers looming over and surrounding his country he always faced it head high standing tall against mounting odds.

On the domestic front he oversaw a wide number of institutions and infrastructure projects take place in his nation building up Farrenore greatly, from housing development to the construction and funding of the University and the Grand Library in his sons endeavours in those departments, his efforts in doing so was to make Lozaria one of the many intellectual capitals across Rathnir. He would additionally codify a number of documents into a written constitution for his realm, that contained all matters of the state, from Laws to Citizenry, Religion and Crime, earning him the title of the lawgiver to his people, he would additionally kickstart the formation of the Lozarian Military creating the Lozanoren Order as well building up a small entourage of personal knights called the Winged Lozars. The Military itself had a strong defined chain of command and ranking system with a emphasis on testing the skills of the soldiers, and merits in rising up the ranks.

On the Foreign Department he would establish a diplomatic bureaucracy for his nation, formulating a quick and efficient way of conducting diplomatic affairs on the world stage, with him consistently updating and documenting all his nation relations, important treaties and documents, throughout his reign he would often go on a number of diplomatic rounds with his neighbours in his pursuit establishing a peaceful co-existence with his neighbours, with him signing on Pacts with the Kingdom of Thalasii and the then Kingdom of Suderen as well as later Grand Castell, he would sign off on a number of agreement of Non-agression with Mudrok, Hansa and even certain groups like the Osterium Pirates.

Historian
A lover of History, Jonathan would document many of the nations, peoples and cities he crossed throughout Rathnir and Eldham, upon his ascension onto the Lozarian Throne he would consistently document extensively his nation history and culture, with his detailed process of keeping records earning him much acclaim amongst his peers, he previously enrolled in the University of Baronov where he would become a Alumni for his Studies in the History of Uldarash.

Logisitican
During his early years on Rathnir he briefly served as the Logisitican in the Kartek Diarchy in Northern Sparwood with him being sole architect and landscaper for the Provinces of Lynxium, Cartellia and Arxella in the Diarchy although he would never fully complete his work with the wars and conflicts impeding his progress and damaging it outright to his annoyance, with him at last abandoning it altogether when the Nation imploded, with him returning to his Home at Farrenore to observe rather despairingly of the chaos that unravelled in the north.

The Traveler
Jonathan was a well-traveled individual with him at the beginning having set off into the world on a journey of Self-discovery with him starting out in desecrated deserts of Yimmu-Audal in the continent of Alteniquia making his way up north into Nieden crossing through the then Aesperium Niedea Before reaching and settling down on Northern Shore of Sparwood and establishing Farrenore. After some time he would embark on further travels with him returning back to Yimmu-Audal where he would at last visit the Grizzlybear Bar a place he unknowingly past in his travels outside of Yimmu-Audal. He would encounter Berzwildt a man who he somewhat suspected to have stolen some goods from his Island Home of Farrenore when he traced he stolen goods to his residence in the Aesperium Niedea despite this Berzwildt would guide him around the bar and both left on good terms.

He would return on the road and made his way to Sørligste passing through the City of Athazolant where he purchased several literature works. before reaching the northern tips of the continent meeting a Man called Skavier Castellan, with him returning to Yimmu-Audal to live in Konushum as a resident of the City. After remaining in the city for a long period of time, he would again depart, to travel he would visit Haven, into the Second Empire of Uldarash where he reached Sanctuary visiting the Lion's Tavern before heading off to visit the Kingdom of Aurora and its capital of Fornost he would be impressed by the city's size and grandeur, in the markets he would purchase two historical books from Fornost detailing Aurora's history where he read on the journey home to Yimmu-Audal in Konushum.

After permanently departing Konushum and returning to his Island home of Farrenore he would on occasion travel outside the city, with him around this time exploring more of Plagos with him traveling to the University of Baronov where he would study becoming a Alumni in the History of Uldarash, he would additionally go on a pilgrimage to the Holy City of Lileanen staying the night in the Ruined City before traveling to the continent of Syltör reaching New Dorasterrock where he brought some collectors items such as the The Bardonian Book for Defense, he would cross into Ummarnu reaching the Capital of the Huitca Federation of Tlahatl, to see the Coronation of the new Tlatoani, however upon his arrival with Xarahh, the city was deserted, he would soon come to know that the coronation was postponed, so in response he would return back to Farrenore, tasking Xarahh to remain to observe, after Xarahh's return from observing the new Tlatoani Quauhtli (SumoMC), they would embark on a Journey to the south to Cymru reaching the shorelines of the continent on their exploratory Journey to the south.

In regards to his travels in Eldham he rarely explored the continent so distant from Farrenore, although when he does he often notes the disparity between the builds and architecture between both worlds, with him somewhat leaning to the belief that Eldham had more breath-taking architecture compared to what he saw in Rathnir, with his personal favourite place to visit in Eldham being the Free City of Qadakh.

Marriage
Jonathan had heavily considered marriage through much of his life in Rathnir although strangely he wouldn't settle on anyone for the longest time despite pressures to do so as his position of being the Sovereign of Lozaria demanding as such. With him considering potential marriages across the board. With him looking into Escharia, Uldarash, Lunaris, Rohel and even Thalassii to name a few in his diplomatic rounds across the World. In the end he would become engaged to Nirauras Asezie, the Tzar of Arxella, whom he previously held respect for, with him naming a town in his Honour, although the engagement appears to be in a standstill, although both Jonathan and Nirauras agreed to the engagement neither had pursued to get say their vows and get married to one another."There's only two Tzar of Arxella that I ever respected, one I offered a Home to but was turned down the other I named after a town in his Honour."

- ── Jonathan Lozharo when reminiscing his past.

War & Conflicts
Despite leading Lozaria being situated in one of the most turbulent and chaotic continents on Rathnir that was prone to constant bickering, conflict and instability, he would pursue a policy of non-aggression, and semi-isolationism in the on-going events of the disestablishing, with him directing Lozaria to join several Unions and Alliances, as a way to open up diplomacy with the wider north. His moves in pursuing diplomatic approach in his policy more or less kept Lozaria out of the major conflicts in the North. Which explains as to why Lozaria has yet to participate in a war or conflict for more over 3 decades in his rule and up to present.

Later Life
Yet to Pass will be documented once it takes place, anything when he passes the age of 50-60 would be documented here.

Death
Yet to Pass will be documented once it takes place. given the lifespans of the Lozharo's his life expectancy being rather long, it perhaps not past on Rathnir.

Legacy

Family

 * Xarahh Lozharo (Xarahh) - The rock he depended on when hardships weighed heavily upon him.
 * Elizabeth Lozharo (Yylime) - The Sister he felt the most sadness for. What became of her is a mystrey even to Jonathan.

Friends

 * Draggo (Draggo_) - A Oldtime friend that goes back to his days in a distant realm.
 * Chorboi Etruscii (Chorboi) - He thinks of him as a friend although their relationship was slightly dampened when he brought the Troubles from Cyrmu to Northern Sparwood.
 * Solomon Smark - The First Arxellan he met who showed him guided him around Northern Sparwood.

Other Relations

 * Anerias Magistri (Gammaman1340) - The Husband of his Sister Xarahh, his brother in law, although at odds at times he does not harbour any ill-will to him and had actively remained as civil as can be with him.
 * King Zelorm - A man he respected when speaking of him rarely ever has anything bad to say about him in general.
 * Nirauras Asezie (RGBStarship) - Their relationship was and still is a strange one with Jonathan not being able to formulate words on the Man, he would name a settlement (Edeniraur) after him.
 * Llyre es vel Volaerys (Foolscrow) - A Individual he previously preceived as a Friend or perhaps something more before his Sudden Betrayal of his country of Thalassii, when confronted all he stated was "Just business" and nothing else. The Betrayal made Jonathan look back on all his interactions with him in a very different light with Jonathan being left with many questions that he may never get concrete answers too, one of them being "Did he looked to me for myself or rather for the crown and title I carry". It ended in the two no longer being on speaking terms for better or for worse.

Enemies

 * Arthur Edishield-Mcspiegel (Imjust1cutecat) - Not a Sworn enemy in truth as he didn't take him seriously at times but since he threatened his life very explicitly for no just cause, he doesn't particularly have a high opinion of him.
 * Barend (BarendKramer) - At first he had no issues with the Man, at times respecting him as he looked to him more as the Leader of Dirachy then either of the Diarchs who seemingly grow more and more powerless to the situation they were in, with their rule becoming clearly ineffectual as he watched on, however for a man he respected without even having spoken to one another. He managed to not only lessen his opinion of him but as well as people from his own circle of friends after several incidents which were avoidable although its implied he still holds a somewhat respect for the man.
