Maxis Poltava

"'Listen, excuse for a king!""Trust me, this fight you can not win!""Fear me, you will die by my sword!'"

~ Maxis Poltava at the Battle of Caragan towards Serberus II
Maxis is a man with a prestigious long service as a Warrior Priest, a Paladin. At the age of twenty, he became a Paladin and earned the role of Arch Paladin (Lord Dominus) of Ashfalls Right Hand fifteen years later, 2492. He worked very closely with King Serberus II as a sort of militant advisor, he was often dismissed for his extremist and resentful ideas as he attempted to push his agenda. It is speculated that this the reason why he betrayed the King in 2498.

Due to is status, he was able to use his influence to stir up a revolution with his chapter and followers against Serberus. The revolution was a huge success, with Serberus slain. 2499, Maxis usurps the throne and takes the former kings' son and raises him as his own.

The first things he enforced as ruler of Ashfall was to bend the Divine Laws to suit his own agenda, creating a new faith that still worshiped the Maker in what he views are his true intentions. One of the most notable changes in his own adaptation was the literal demonization of non-Human species. The newly crowned king would continue to preach and influence his people and sow hatred and resentment to the "Abhorents". They have also been blamed Ashfalls' inability to reclaim her former glory.

By 2504, Poltava had fermented resentment of Non-Humans within the Human settlements, especially in the Northern lands towards Caragan. Maxis decreed that how humanity must redeem themselves in the eyes of the All-Maker is to make the Abhorents serve Humanity from Ashfall and in the longterm, the entire world or be cleansed.

Maxis Poltava remains King as of 2509 at the age of fifty-two.
