Zathras Von Blarg

Zathras Von Blarg is the current king of Seaside, and, along with King North of Baronov, is one of the two kings of Seahaven.

Early life
Zathras Von Blarg was born to a nomadic tribe in the continent of Alteniquia. He continued to live with his tribe until he was separated from them at the age of 10, after which he would wander the highways, going from town to town in search of them. Two months later, at the age of 11, Zathras met a farmer, who gave him a place to sleep and food in exchange for help with chores on the farm. Although the farmer was somewhat cold, he oftentimes let the young boy read some of the few books that he had. This continued for another 3 years, when a man coming through town spread the news of a new town on a far away island, rich with opportunity.

Joining Seaside
At the age of 14, Zathras Von Blarg set off on a boat across the world to the Shattered Sea. There, he met a man named Jaxfon Von Blarg, the founder of the town. A city state would soon be formed, and would be named Seaside. The tight knit community of the small island village was especially attractive to Zathras, as his separation from his birth family had created a strong internal desire for, yet at the same time fear of, a strong familial connection.

Despite his young age, Zathras would serve in some of the City State's first government positions, and would continue to live in Seaside, sharing a house with his good friend Nikko.

Von Blarg family
After Seaside became a monarchy, Zathras would eventually find a new family when the then king of Seaside, St. Acol Von Blarg, adopted him. Despite much of his desire for a family being fulfilled by a sense of nationalistic pride, he was still ecstatic to once again belong to a familial structure, even if it greatly differed from the one he was born into, in both size and customs.

When the Seaside-Baronov civil war began, however, Zathras was faced with a choice: either side with St. Acol and the rebellion, meaning an expulsion from the family, if the union prevailed, or siding with his grandfather and the nation's leader, Jaxfon Von Blarg. After much deliberation, the prince chose to side with his grandfather and the Union, as he not only felt that siding with the union would help to ensure the city's survival, something that had become increasingly important to him as his nationalistic beliefs and love of the city grew, but also that remaining within the Von Blarg Family could leave him in a better political position, no matter the outcome of the war. Despite this, Zathras refused to fight, as he could not bear to fight against his own father, and did not want to potentially face banishment from the only true home he had ever known.

Following the Union's victory, Zathras' good friend Nikko would be adopted by Jaxfon Von Blarg, therefore making his good friend his uncle. Zathras would be elected into a mayoral position known as the Marshal for the city of Seaside, where he would continue to push for greater development and growth within Seaside.

After Nikko Von Blarg stepped down from power, Zathras Von Blarg rose to the throne, and created many reforms that resulted in a population boom and a cultural renaissance on the island. While buying dyes for many of the paints for the new buildings, the young king met a young woman named Charlotte, and after a few months, the two would get married in Seaside.

With Zathras in power, the nationalistic presence that had emerged from the nation's isolationist roots grew to an all time high, something that would become somewhat problematic when the Empire of Lunaris took control of Seahaven.
