Bratsk, Prince of Kesh

Bratsk is the 28-year-old son of the Czar and current crown prince of Kesh. He is infamous for his drinking and womanizing.

History
The oldest of seven children born into a dynasty beloved by its subjects, Bratsk learned to enjoy himself at an early age. He often voiced his boredom during schooling and always preferred to play or even partake in physical labor than study.

Since attaining adulthood, he has waged a devastating campaign against the pubs, inns, bars, and breweries of the Core Empires in an attempt to drink them dry. He appears to be winning.

Characteristics
Bratsk is renowned for his un-princely mannerisms. Loud, disheveled, and aggresively friendly, the crown prince of Kesh explodes both into and out of every encounter he is involved with. While capable of maintaining his dignity and interacting with the nobility, he is loathe to do so, always preferring to party with his troops and enjoy the admiration of the lower classes.

Bratsk has six siblings; a brother, Tomsk, and five sisters, Yeni, Chita, Sokola, Mirny, and Koza. He loves his family dearly, and holds their safety to a higher priority than his own well-being.

Post-Coalition War
Shortly after the Coalition War, Bratsk, Prince of Kesh, after many failed abduction attempts of his soon-to-be wife, finally married his longest running girlfriend to date. He and Collette Bell were married in a traditional Kesh ceremony in Tanis without complications and after the ceremony were coronated as the new Czar and Czarista of Kesh. Bratsk now lives happily in Kesh Capitol with his lovely, but busy wife, and twin children, Pyotr and Nadia.

Rumors

 * According to soldiers under his command, despite his foolish demeanor, during times of trouble Bratsk is always quick to offer optimistic, even inspiring words. A useful skill, considering his troops' casualty rates.
 * The scathing tabloid headlines involving members of the Knights Vanguard and even Empress Zurie  and Princess Veronika are hotly debated by critics and censors for the their ferocity and lack of taste. However, tabloids are arguably far worse in their treatment of Bratsk. Rumor has it the owners of such publications are furious that the crown prince simply finds them hilarious.
 * Official records show Bratsk having suspiciously high marks during his time at Volinhya Military Academy. Some say it's manipulation by his father, citing Bratsk's constant partying as making such grades impossible to obtain.
 * Bratsk's womanizing is legendary. Lately however, he has been 'behaving himself.' Rumors abound of his father cracking down on his behavior. Tales of the prince finding true love are breaking the hearts of hopeful young women all over Kesh.
 * While the prince is famous for his drinking, it is common knowledge that his uncle, General Brusilov, can out-drink any mortal in the Core Empires. There are whispers that Bratsk is in training to topple his uncle in a drinking contest, and that he then must defeat his father in order to become Czar. Typical Kesh.
