Draconius II Doomer

Draconius II Thysus Doomer was a well-known and widely-respected Arkasian politician, becoming High King at the age of fifteen of the newly-recreated Arkasia and, soon afterward, the restored Arkasian Confederation. He lead Arkasia and the Arkasian Confederation throughout most of the twentieth century, becoming their leader shortly before the beginning of World War II and leading them to victory in that conflict on the side of the Allied Powers, then leading them during the Cold War as a neutral country, until the Arkasian Civil War began and again while a truce was in effect for over a decade. However, on February tenth, 2001, he was assassinated in public by an assailant from an extremist faction in the civil war. As a result, the assailant was placed in prison for life and the faction to which he belonged was annihilated by combined efforts of many of the others.

Draconius II was widely known and respected for his policies of tolerance, diplomacy and compromise which set him apart from his father Valadinus IX (whom took an all-or-nothing approach to Arkasian sovereignty) and his grandfather Arcadius IV Doomer (whom gave the Arkasians a reputation for being a brutal fighting force which demanded severe concessions and reparations from their defeated enemies, of which he made many). Further, Draconius II had unexpected friends, such as Klen Alin, the Communist-Dictator of Avgrov, which surprised many domestically and internationally. This friendship between Draconius II, the High King, and Klen, the Communist-Dictator became the basis of the Arkasian-Avgrovan cooperation during World War II and may have had an influence upon the Avgrovan decision upon whether or not to support a side in the Arkasian Civil War immediately after it's beginning.
