Short bio of Country or Leader: In the late 1400s, Kiev was ruled by a despot named Ivan III. Understandably, the Principality fell into turmoil. Several principalities split away, forming the coalition of Great Russia. Russian troops, led by Pavel Pavlovich of the Pereyaslavl Principality were initially defeated, first at the Battle of Donnets, where Kieven troops routed the Russians, then at the Battle of Chernihiv, where Pavel himself was struck with a quarrel from a crossbow. While escorting their beloved leader to safety, the Kievens managed to surround Russian troops.
Spring brought new promises to the failing state, as Pavel recovered from his wounds at Chernihiv. He remounted his rebellion, and in a stroke of brilliance, decimated Kieven supply lines and began a blockade of the city. As the Kievens slowly starved, a Kieven ambassador came to Pavel and negotiated the surrender of Kiev. Pavel assumed the throne, taking the title: "Tsar."
A new era of expansionism began, as Pavel struggled to rebuild the shattered nation. And now, as he prepares for his invasions south, while the nation prepares for raids from the Kazan Khanates in the north, the final vestiges of the Revolution are ready as Pavel plans the execution of Ivan III.
Pavel was born in Sochi, in the Crimea. From a young age, Pavel was disturbed by the atrocities committed by the cossacks and oprichniki in the name of the Prince. Later in his life, he would tell about a scene as a child, "The Oprichniki came in the night. My father was falsely accused of disturbing the peace. They... they tortured him before my mom and I. I will never forget the sight of their whips. His body was found hanging from a tree the next day. I have seen the work of a despot, and I hate it."
Pavel enrolled in a university in the Holy Roman Empire, the funds leaving his mother broke. Unable to pay the debt, the Oprichniki came for her as well. Pavel has been haunted his entire life, knowing that it was his fault she died.
Pavel originally was a monk, in a monastery outside of Luhans'k, and was disturbed by his horrifying past. He began gathering followers, speaking out against the Prince. When the Oprichnika were sent after them to silence the rabble, they fought back, and so began the Revolution.
