Sirius

Sirius is the second and current Pharaoh of Lennox. Succeding to Buzzald, he is responsible for modernizing the country into its current form, the creation of much of the yularian ice roads, and the adoption of Lux.

Early life
Not much is known of Sirius' life before his arrival in Lennox, the only reliable source of information on the subject being the pharaoh himself, who rarely speaks about it.

The region of the world in which Sirius was born isn't located anywhere in Rathnir, and very little is known about it. Since Lennox was the first nation of Rathnir he stepped into, it can be supposed that it is located in the north-west. Some have speculated that Sirius actually come from Beauridine, but this is highly unlikely due to Sirius sharing very little with the Nortfolks, be it in skin, eye, and hair color, but also in culture and religion. Also, Sirius' land never had the Echad Valley, which acted as a island of peace in the middle of endless conflicts. There was only an endless war between petty warlords empowered by powerful artifacts where the future Pharaoh would be born. On the subject of his parents, Sirius made contradictory statements, saying once that he never met them, just to later say that his father was a warlord himself, and another time that he didn't actually remember if he ever had any contact with them. After this unclear childhood, he would acquire some artifacts himself, and became a warlord, laying waste to countless settlements. Sirius would even grow a reputation of being cruel among some of the softer warriors, due to his habit of chasing the weak for sports. As to show his superiority to the other warlords, he would start decoring his lair, that were usually just caves barely amenaged for life, and grow his knowledge in all things by taking the books of the places he would attack. This is very likely how Sirius learned about Rathnir's existence. One day, his lair would be destroyed by some other warlord, and his weapons stolen. Given some time, he would have recovered his weapon and rebuilt his lair, but he realized that he didn't want to continue this kind of life, and enjoyed learning and creating more. And so started his journey to Rathnir, where he believed he would find peace.

Lennox
Sirius was first seen by rathnirian eyes in the southern Yularian Desert, which was at the time the only territory controlled by the then young nation of Lennox. He would be found by lennoxian scouts that took him to Dragoonios, which at the time was called Dragoonia and was the only real Lennox city. There he met Buzzald, the founder of the country and its first pharaoh. Due to it being his first contact with Rathnir's civilisations, Sirius accepted to join the nation with the intent of learning about the inner workings of Rathnir and its nations, as to one day make his own kingdom, or taking over Lennox. However, only a short time after his arrival, Bardonia would declare war on the country. Due to this, many fled the young nation, including Buzzald, who would officially dissolve it. However Sirius, neither wanting to be defeated again and giving up on something that was still new to him, refused to follow them, and started to prepare for a war, even if he knew very little about the invaders, their strength, and how much an actual battle would be different from the raids he was used to. In the process, he would reform Lennox and make himself Pharaoh, the incoming threat taking away the satisfaction of reaching his goal of rising to power. This would surprise many people both in the kingdom and beyond it, who expected this to be its end, including Bardonia's chancellor. Seeing this, Sirius would use the opportunity to ask for peace, using the argument of having little to do with Buzzald, whose actions brought the wrath of Bardonia. Uni would accept, and Buzzald would return and make Sirius' title official, finally receiving the three drops of kisha in both eyes, turning them forever blue.

However, he quickly noticed that a large part of the population distrusted him, being viewed as an opportunistic barbarian. This, with the threat of a bardonian invasion still looming and the complex international politics that came with it, made Sirius realized that his current situation was little better than when he was a warlord, the physical effort only being traded for mental one. However, the Pharaoh still believed that unlike during his past, he had a way of "winning", and earning himself a peaceful existence, this way being the destruction of Bardonia. And so, he would start preparing himself and what was now his country. But even then, he knew that it wouldn't be enough to stop the potential invaders, and so did parts of Lennox's aristocracy, who would go as far as to make an attempt on his life in the then newly rebuilt Ramtopia. In his rage, this would mark the first time he used his weapon in Rathnir, as he would violently execute all the nobles who participated to the plot by himself and in public. But this only strengthen the image the aristocracy had of him, making the risk of other assassination attempts even greater. The Pharaoh would slowly be consumed by dispair, having less and less faith in his ability to realize his goal and to have another shot if he failed or left, to the point that his will to stop other plots against him became weaker and weaker. It was around this period that he would hear about Lux for the first time, from an unknown mouth which told him to go to the Goddess' temple. At the time, the very concept of gods and religion was foreign to him, his homeland having little more than folktales, yet, he still saw in that temple a possible solution that was worthy of being tried. For weeks he would travel alone, not really caring about the spread of rumors about his death. When he found the city of Luxios, Sirius would be led before the Eternal Flame and its warmth. For one of the few times in his life, the man felt hapiness. Not nostalgia over a long dead past, not hope toward a future that may never come, not even the joy of killing or getting more power in the present. It was a plain, but innocent happiness. When returning to Lennox, Sirius was a devout follower of Lux, and converted the entire country with relative ease.

When 3rd Bardonian empire threatened the kingdom with war, the Pharaoh was almost relieved, no longer because it would have ment the end, but simply because he and Lennox prepped themselves so much for this moment. However, before he took the decision to go to one last war, he would learn about plans of a much larger war against bardonia in the future. And so to the surprise of all, Sirius would give up and surrender to the empire, to buy time. Not much is known of his actions during the bardonian occupation, as he barely interacted with the wider empire,
