Sargon Kesh

Sargon Kesh is the 55-year-old patriarch of the Kesh dynasty; the oldest known family in the Core Empires and perhaps even the world. He is the current Czar of Kesh.

History
The oldest son of his parents, Sargon Kesh was born into one of the largest royal families ever seen. With many brothers, sisters, and cousins, he learned compassion at an early age.

The storybook romance with his childhood friend Duchess Lana (now Czarista Lana) is well known even outside of Kesh. They have many children; two sons (Bratsk and Tomsk)  and five daughters (Yeni, Chita, Sokola, Mirny, and Koza.)

Despite the obvious overall decline of the country, the people are fond of their Czar.

Characteristics
In casual conversation, the common people simply refer to him as "Father Kesh" or "Papa Kesh." Softspoken but friendly, he shies away from political and government duties in favor of spending time with his family. Indeed, the laws of Kesh were written long ago, and the Czar sees little reason to change them.

Perpetually on vacation, he commonly hosts foreign dignitaries in the capitol, tours through the streets, and picnics in the countryside. Given his stature, he is surprisingly approachable.

Post-Coalition War
Immediately after the end of the Coalition War, the Czar's eldest son, Bratsk, was married to Collette Bell. As part of the wedding ceremony they coronated their son and his wife and stepped down as Czar and Czarista. Sargon and his wife have happily retired and now live to spoil their beloved grandchildren, Pyotr and Nadia.

Rumors

 * The people of Kesh generally like the royal family, but apparently many are frustrated over the empire's poor financial situation, and there are even whispers of revolt. No one knows why the Czar doesn't do anything about it.
 * There are rumors that Kesh's youngest son is deathly ill, and that the family has hired a fiend-touched warlock to care for him.
 * Outside of Kesh, people don't think too highly of the Czar's ability to rule.
 * The Kingdom of Dumat is filled with stories of incest and infidelity among the royal family. However, everywhere else in the Core Empires, the Kesh dynasty has an infuriatingly wholesome reputation. The Czar assumes Dumat is just jealous.
 * Prince Bratsk, the Czar's son, is famous for his ability to drink. The Czar's brother, General Brusilov, has a downright legendary liver. No stories about Sargon Kesh, however. How mysterious.
