Dagor the Elder

Summary
Dagor Stanislausovich is the son of the fabled king Stanislaus of Karlilych, who is renowned for having conquered much of Southern Translavia during his rule.

Dagor is considered by the scientific community to be an anomalous being, as he is functionally immortal. Stories as to how Dagor achieved this immortality vary, but Dagor's own explanation of this attributes it to a wager between Čipara and Zernobog regarding the succession conflict between him and his twin brother Drago. Dagor has consistently refused to be scientifically analysed to discover the source of his immortality so consequently very little is known about the specifics of his condition.

Dagor has spent his entire life leading the Slavic peoples, first through the formation of the Slavic Confederacy, and then the Slavic Commonwealth and Slavic Union. He is renowned for his strong sense of honour and obligation, as was made evident by him "returning the favour" to the Samsonite Government by helping re-instate the Kaiser in WW2, in recognition of the Samsonite attempts to save the Slavic peoples in the War of Intrigue, which had concluded over two centuries prior. He is also known to be very open to change, having operated within various forms of government throughout his 2000-year-long life. He very openly welcomed the dissolution of the Communist party in the Union in 1991, after witnessing the total corruption it had brought upon the Union. More notably, however, he has frequently been a driving force in military innovation and very regularly has conducted mass restructures and firings of military personnel whenever they have become too reliant on tradition.

Having been given a Military upbringing by his father, Dagor has been known to have exceptional tactical prowess. However, he lacks the foresight to create long-term strategic plans, and often delegates this duty to others. Dagor himself briefly operated as an adventurer in his youth, eventually being chronicled in the story of the Ashen Bear. Once his father died and bequeathed Karlilych to him, Dagor ordered the construction of a new keep, which he named the Ashen Keep. Prior to the 1700s, the reception room of this keep included the skeleton of the purported Ashen Bear. Decomposition and the eventual loss of the city of Karlilych in 1727 resulted in the loss of the artifact and has led many modern scholars to question whether or not the Ashen Bear truly existed.
