P3TR0z

P3TR0z is the relatively young 5th Grand Vizier of Lennox; an avid worshipper of Lux; and a serviceable soldier of Solisios. He is known by his peers for his strong sense of justice, his great aspirations for Yulara and matched ambition.

Early Life
Born to a middle class family in the small town of Nermou, Petro would easily stand out from his group of friends by always being the one to take intiative, but would also be recognised for his brawn and agility. In a couple of years he grew to be quite the peoples person and rightful king of his peers. His childhood was far from perfect, however. As his family's pub became a popular rendezvous point for the town's low-lifes and thugs, Petro was forced to silently watch the business suffer from their daily acts of vandalism, ridicule and petty theft. He would try to stand up to the scum, but his struggles proved to be futile and often times even backfired at him. This instilled a strong hate of such vermin since a young age, which Petro would reaffirm many times over in his life.

Military Service
Petro had gotten conscripted into the local militia while still at a relatively young age. During the battle of Ramtopia, he was stationed on the city's high walls, from atop of which he had seen several of his comrades slain by what he'd call the worst of the swine he so desperately hated. Following the battle of Ramtopia, Petro completed his proper military training and became a Lennoxian Khopeshi, wishing to do more for his homeland and truly make it a safer place.

To prove himself as a capable warrior, he later volunteered to fight alongside the Legions of Lux in the Second Relic War. He survived the first battle, being among the second or third wave to assault the walls of Borktress. Engaged in sporradic combat, he traded light blows with the defenders but ultimately did not make himself remarkable.

Petro goes on to curse the second battle in his journals, calling it a luxite slaughter and noting that he will forever regret this day. As the allied forces got ambushed he witnessed many of his brothers in arms be cut down before him. Seeing the battle lost, Petro managed to disengage after some sparring with the Huitcans on their right flank. In the end, merely 35% of the once great force lived to march back home, filling Petro with sorrow.

At last, in their final confrontation, Petro got to fight among the finest soldiers of both Solisios and Lennox. The battle raged on for abnormally long, Petro being almost constantly engaged in heavy combat. So much so that nearly all of his armor pieces were broken by the end of it. In the fighting, he felled as many as eight enemies, before being struck down himself, gravely injured but not yet killed. Thanks to everyone's devotation and courage, the outcome was a decisive luxite victory.

After the battle, Petro had to remain in Luxios as he recovered from his wounds. During his stay he came to love their arhitecture and their people. His speedy recovery also convinced him that he had been favored by Lux as one of her bravest warriors. He later obtained full citizenship in their lands.

Administrative work and rise to Grand Vizier
One project that Petro greatly involved himself in was the restoration of the Sand Republic's old capital, Zar'Roc. Being very passionate about preserving its history, he put a lot of work into it and had been recognised for his efforts. During this time he held festivities in the Zar'Roc arena, where he befriended many of his current contacts, such as DrMonroKellie, Leopardzilla, Woodyslav and Pine.

When the former Shabtoum of Zar'Roc, Renzo, burned part of the town before leaving the nation in a fit of rage, Petro was chosen by his peers as a replacement. Now the Shabtoum of a town in Northern Lennox, Petro found himself holding a little bit of power, being able to get into the upper echelons of their society. During his administration, the city's outskirts were fully rebuilt, and a grand pyramid was erected, as a temple to the demigod Darakon.

After Pine's term as Grand Vizier ended, Petro saw a good opportunity to sieze the position, as no other strong candidate seemed to be running. Leveraging his work in Zar'Roc and his service to Lux, while also promising more large scale building projects, Petro was able to gather enough votes and occupy the position, through which he wished to achieve a better and safer Yulara.

Vigilante Activities
One of Petro's burning desires was to completely eradicate high level organised crime in Yulara, which he started working towards as Grand Vizier. However, he found the judicial system to be painstakingly slow, and the juridical process to be nearly impossible, as the roots of their wicked organisations were running deep into the Lennoxian high society. He began looking for an alternative, but would only come to radical conclusions, which he would not dare act out yet.

You can imagine his surprise when one day, Pharaoh Sirius himself approached the troubled man, stating that they had some business to discuss. Sirius had proposed another extreme solution to his problem, which Petro was inclined to accept. The old man wasn't very liked by the priesthood and nobility, and he didn't like them back either. He could have Petro quietly remove the most corrupt ones out of the equation. Now, Petro isn't daft either; not wanting to be used as a tool doing the Pharaoh's personal dirty work, he did not accept, rather asked for more time to think it over instead. He is now pondering the issue, probably the most conflicted he has ever been.
