Baekry Mezaria

Baekry Mezaria, also known as Baekry, was a scholar, author, diplomat and entrepreneur that lived in the city of Carvay. He was the founder and first Admiral of the RMAP Guild and Governor of Fortisola.

Mezaria is credited as the author of multiple international treaties, including the Treaty of the Phagosian Seas and the Treaty of Carvay. He is also the author of multiple historical research works which cover a wide range of topics.

A Knossian by birth, Mezaria assimilated into Carvaian culture later in life.

Early life
Baekry Mezaria first appeared on Rathnir on in near the small town of Illyrix in the provincial lands of Neos Knossos. He travelled to the city and offered his services to the dual-monarchs Realz and Delta. Initially a builder, King Delta quickly noticed his skill in management and diplomacy. As Mezaria gradually was given more responsibilities within the city-state, Neos Knossos began to flourish. He was granted the title of Vizier, second only to the Kings of Neos Knossos, and is the author of the Akrogos io Knossos, the first known constitution written by a western Rathniri nation. It was during this time that Mezaria married the Doge of Carvay, 8jaaroud.

After a period of rapid expansion and prosperity, Neos Knossos began to stagnate as the ruling class of Neos Knossos increasingly struggled to maintain the levels of productivity experienced earlier. Baekry Mezaria proposed a governmental restructuring with the intention of more distinctly defining the responsibilities of the nobility and the citizenry, but this was declined by both Kings. As the government became more and more decentralised and new colonies were founded without the ability to sustain them, Mezaria resigned and returned to his hometown.

However, Illyrix was suffering a shortage of funds and after the Kings refused to lower the tax rate and tributes from the provinces, Mezaria fled to Carvay to live with his husband. After the move, Mezaria temporarily withdrew from public life, focussing on his home life and assimilating into Carvaian culture. During this time, Baekry Mezaria wrote and published two historical studies, one on the history of Neos Knossos and another on the Chocolate Wars, earning his doctorate in history.

In mid november, 2020, Mezaria was tasked with establishing a military outpost for Carvay in the Ombra Gulf and given the title of Rione (Governor) of a Carvaian province. After a period of construction, Mezaria delegated future management to Ferm and returned to Carvay.

RMAP
Upon return to Carvay, Mezaria petitioned the Doge to found a corporation that would oversee the cartographical efforts of Carvay. The Doge accepted and allowed Mezaria to found the Rathnir Mapper's Associated Press (RMAP), which funded expeditions to map the Serene Republic. After the completion of the map of the Carvay, Mezaria expanded the Guild's business ventures drastically, involving it in the book trade and banking sector to increase revenue.

Retirement and death
Mezaria remained active in the politics of Carvay for most of his life, advocating for the Carvay Conservatore Parti. After the return of political stability to Carvay, Mezaria led discussions on major construction projects and the development of cultures across the continent. He retired in and led a quiet life until his death in a freak accident in.
