Lhytt Poliorcetes

= Lhytt Poliorcetes =

Lhytt Poliorcetes is an established Political and Social Figure in Central Eldham, in the former regions of Drakaes. Regarded by some as a calculating and ruthless man, he led The Republic of Amarillo on 2 separate occasions, with each stint being engulfed in war. He is also a known military tactician, often boasting about his supposed undefeated record as a military general.

Lhytt is known to reside in Puerto Amarillo, the Capital of the Republic of Amarillo, as well as owning a home in Dortberg, a city in A.W.E. Lhytt Poliorcetes is also known to have written a book, titled "El Presidente," an autobiography detailing his time before and during his stint as President of Amarillo.

Early Life
Lhytt Poliorcetes was born in a still unnamed town located in South-Eastern Uldarash. According to Lhytt in his autobiography, the town was an industrial place, and most of the people there, including himself, lived in poverty. Thus, he left Uldarash, and Rathnir entirely, in his late teens, in search of opportunity. Lhytt noted that he studied Military Manuals and Political Memoirs and Books while travelling to the New World: Eldham.

It was in Eldham that Lhytt met Salazar Van Den Green, who, along with a few other people, was constructing the town of Puerto Amarillo, which was located in Regnum Drakaes. Lhytt immediately settled in, and became involved in Local Politics. He was eventually elected into Drakaes' parliament, the Ephorate.

Collapse of Drakaes
As The now democratic Drakaes collapsed all around him, Lhytt saw an opportunity to seize some sort of power. As a result, he plotted with secessionists from Saror Haven to leave Drakaes. He planned to take control of Puerto Amarillo and establish a Republic. In the end, he got his wish, as Drakaes' Autarch Tiffany Canalopin dissolved the nation. A spiral of events after the collapse led to the War of Drakaen Succession.

Lhytt helped organise a Coalition with Saror Haven, as well as the newly independent Kingdom of Nidaros and Smegsland to fight against the City State of Jorvick, as well as Mugen. Lhytt was in charge of most of Amarillo's albeit small army, but managed to pull of some victories. At the Battle of Redhill Fort, in which Lhytt was in command, Amarillo was outnumbered 3 to 1, but managed to defeat Mugen. Lhytt was severely injured during the battle, and was thus unable to take part during the rest of the war.

Ultimately, the war ended in the Coalition's defeat. Lhytt, feeling that Amarillo no longer needed him, left the region and settled in the city of Dortberg, A.W.E. In his absence, Salazar Van Den Green reorganised Amarillo into a Republic, and began to rebuild. Lhytt spent many weeks in Dortberg, acting as an unofficial second in command there. Eventually, he returned as a political advisor.

Presidency
Lhytt, while impressed at what had been achieved, saw many flaws in the Governmental system in Amarillo. As a result, when the third Presidential Elections came around, Lhytt stood for President. He won by a majority of the vote, and wasted no time in reforming the nation. New economic policies were introduced, and the nation continued to grow.

However, is grid and determination as a leader was to be tested. Mr Ananas, a former citizen of Saror Haven, built an illegal seabase just outside of Puerto Amarillo. Lhytt, after offering several deals to Ananas, all of which were knocked back, immediately condemned the squatter, declaring him a criminal and vowing to glass the settlement, which was known as Kibris.

After an initial assault, which ended in stalemate, Lhytt re-organised the Amarillian army and prepared for a second offensive. Ananas continued to hire Mercenaries in a desperate attempt to save his sea base, but it was in vain. A massive assault force, led by Lhytt and aided by The League of Vircon and Uraka, completely decimated the squatters, and forced them to flee permentantly. Lhytt declared this a massive victory for the region, and immediately stood down from his position as President, as his term had now ended.

Lhytt once again took a position as advisor to the Government, and wrote his Autobiography. He currently resides in Puerto Amarillo, and focuses on more private projects. However, with elections on the horizon, it is unclear if he plans to take power again.....
