High King of Canderon
Name: Titus Severus
Age: 30 Galactic Standard
Gender: Male
Homeworld: Canderon
Rank: High King
Force Sensitive: Yes
Personality: Titus Severus is a man of few words, his demeanor typically stern and reserved. He observes more than he speaks, his piercing blue eyes often conveying more than his carefully chosen phrases. He possesses a deep-seated conviction that his right to rule is not merely inherited but divinely sanctioned by the Living Force, a belief that shapes his every decision. This conviction lends him an air of unwavering authority, though some might perceive it as arrogance or inflexibility.
Despite his taciturn nature, Titus is not devoid of emotion. He holds a fierce loyalty to House Severus and feels a strong sense of responsibility for the well-being of his people. He values strength, discipline, and unwavering obedience. While not openly cruel, he can be ruthless when he deems it necessary for the security and stability of Canderon. He has a keen strategic mind, honed by years of political maneuvering and now tested in military command. He respects competence and valor, regardless of a noble house's past allegiances. He is slow to trust but fiercely loyal to those who earn it.
His belief in the Force as a guiding hand makes him prone to interpreting events through that lens, sometimes leading to decisions that might seem unconventional or even mystical to outsiders. He is not known for impulsiveness, preferring to weigh his options carefully before acting.
History: Titus Severus ascended to the leadership of House Severus at the age of twenty-two, following the sudden and unexpected death of his father. Though young, Titus inherited a house of considerable influence—one poised for dominance but still far from uniting the fractured realm of Canderon. To the surprise of many, he quickly proved himself a shrewd and unyielding leader. With a steady hand and unshakable resolve, he navigated the web of noble rivalries, forging strategic marriages, securing calculated alliances, and—when diplomacy failed—unleashing the formidable military might of House Severus.
Over the next eight years, Titus methodically consolidated power, securing the allegiance of the realm's major noble houses. Some bent the knee in hopes of shared prosperity and lasting stability; others yielded to the sheer force of arms. Minor rebellions were crushed swiftly and with ruthless efficiency, earning Titus the moniker The Stern King. His firm belief that the Force ordained his right to rule resonated with Canderon's more traditionalist factions, further legitimizing his claim.
In recent times, a wave of pirate incursions in the Outer Rim began to disrupt vital trade routes and imperil remote mountain settlements. Refusing to delegate such a threat, Titus took personal command of Canderon's unified forces. His strategic brilliance and fearless presence on the battlefield led to a resounding victory, cementing his status as not only a capable ruler but a warrior-king. Even his former rivals were forced to acknowledge his strength. The triumph, however, brought more than peace—it drew the attention of powers beyond Canderon's once-isolated system, hinting at challenges and opportunities yet to come in the wider galaxy.
