Chárlobert Víslo de Honse

Chárlobert Víslo de Honse (born 18th August 1835) is a member of the House de Honse and the current Græz of the Ilders. He is the first and only son of his father Græz Hugo I Ildernestes de Honse of the Ilders, and his mother Greatess Xenia H.A.K. de Honse, née Kommerzzi.

Chárlobert is native in Ildernian and Vemern Travelers' Tongue, as well as capable of speaking regular Travellers' Tongue and Old Baykon to some extent.

Childhood and Education
Chárlobert Víslo de Honse was born on 18th August 1835 in Ilderburg to Græz Hugo I Ildernestes de Honse of the Ilders and his wife Greatess Xenia H.A.K. de Honse. As the first son of the Græz, he was immediately declared as Heir to the Ildernian Throne upon his birth. Chárlobert picked up the ability to speak at a late age but has since picked up his fathers' Ildernian as native tongue and his mother's Vemern Traveler's Tongue as a second language.

Although he had been tutored by his father and his butlers Cháls de Béargách and Olibert Hubertínes de Millánde from an early age, Chárlobert did not start his studies in earnest until the age of six, when he enrolled in basic school at the then recently established School of Ilderburg, beginning first grade in August 1841. He attended the school for six years, completing all six grades in June 1847. Following basic school, Chárlobert would enroll in the Burgentine School of Ilderburg in August 1847, pursuing the Societal Path. Upon completing his studies at Burgentine School in 1851, he went to Rivergate to study Philosophy, Society and Politics. From 1854 until 1856, Chárlobert studied International Politics in Redoriv. His studied were ended in early 1856 by the news of his father's declining health and dying wish to spend his last months without the burdens of governance.

Reign
Chárlobert became the regent upon his arrival in Ilderburg in early 1856 upon the wishes of his father. He spent most of his time close to his father, especially in the latters last days, during which time his father Hugo sought to tell Chárlobert everything he knew about governance and politics. Chárlobert grew a very strong bond to his father during this time and was emotionally broken upon his death in April, to the point of locking himself in a room to sorrow.

Upon assuming the throne, Chárlobert made efforts to reinvigorate the constitutional convention, which had taken a break ever since his father's illness; he sought support for Ildernian claims on the Milland and Revreia and to negotiate their fate; and announced that any Ildernian could now enter the Ilderburg Residence if the door and gates were open to speak to him. None of these initiatives were successful and the latter two were abandoned shortly after, while the first resulted in the implementation of the Charter of the Bœrgientsa in 1857, which established the Bœrgientsa of the Ilders, an assembly that all Ildernian citizen has the right to participate in, as the legislative assembly of the Ilders as well as granting this assembly joine executive power with the Græz, a power it was to exercise through the investiture of ministers to his Cabinet.

Chárlobert's reign so far has been marked by general apathy, both from the populace and himself. Though the growth that was seen during the last years of Hugo's reign was already subsiding when Chárlobert assumed the throne, the effects of it were only felt after Chárlobert's assumption to the throne. Chárlobert, although somewhat motivated, was unable to turn the tide and this, coupled with his other failures, as well as the general apathy of the Ildernians in terms of political participation despite the access to the Bœrgientsa, made Chárlobert himself apathetic and despondent, which led to further decline and general apathy. By 1859, the Ilders was a stagnant and practically dead nation, led by a young Græz who had already been demoralised by his earlier failures.
