King Gobrien Le Mouel

Gobrien Le Mouel is the King of Valion and the first Catanach King to take up the throne after the invasions of the Empire of Veranoir-Ælgis, around three hundred years ago. He was elected among the nobles of Valion due to the largely positive image he has among both the Catanachs and the foreign descendants of Castow. Due to his pro-peasantry politics and blood, the Catanachs fondly refer to him as "Tá an mac Catan" (Son of Catan).

History
Born the 5th of Novas to Lord Charlig Le Mouel, young Gobrien would soon inherited the declining House Le Mouel, his father however, left a decent inheritance for his child and sickly wife. During that time, Gobrien's mother had become so sick that she had to leave her son at the care of the maids, who were mostly commoners. While his tutors taught him to speak Verancois, his maids taught him to speak Catanach. He grew fond of the commoners without abandoning his noble duties. At the age of 29, He participated of the great holy war against the Ahmedian Sultanate, and due to his excellent service during the war, King d'Argentré granted Gobrien the title of Baron.

A few months later, after making a satisfactory trade deal with the Empire of Ndidi, Gobrien met the third daughter of Mansa Ekenedilichukwu Akubundu, Olisa Akubundu. The two young nobles fell in love during a feast in the Kings palace and after a year of constantly sending letters to each other, the two finally married in the Mansa's palace back in Ndidi.
