Marcus Eskender Avon-El Ayreon-Kalirion Myksos, Prince among the Lakes, Dutch of Vigeland, born on 2.II.1702 in Kezan, is a Hurmu nobleman and official. Commander of the Order of the Holy Lakes (since 1728) and acting first secretary of state (since 1738; his secretariat), Regent of the Lakes (since 1730), and Senator of the Lakes (since 1722).

Conception

In order to have a biological child of their own, Marcus his parents, Aurelia Myksos and Sara Eskenderion Avon-El, sought aid from Kezanese researchers.

The researchers reprogrammed cells from each of the parents into becoming gametes, of which one was made an egg and the other a sperm. Following ex vitro fertilization, the egg was implanted into the 80-year old Sara. Following seven months gestation, on 2.II.1702, the fetus was extracted from Sara's body through surgical means, and the child deemed alive by the attending physicians.

He was given the name Marcus, to honour his grandfather Marcus Myksos. Eskender, his second forename, was given to him to honour his other grandfather, Eskender Avon-El. His first two surnames, Avon-El and Ayreon-Kalirion, come from his mother Sara's family, and the last surname, Myksos, from his mother Aurelia's.

He was thus born in Kezan on 2.II.1702. He resided in Shirekeep 1702–1707, then in Kingsrise 1707–1710, and he and his mothers moved to Hurmu in 1710, when Marcus was 8 years old. He is thus both the biological and legitimate child of his parents.

Biography

In 1707, his mother Aurelia was removed from her title Dutchess of Kildare in an effort to reunite Greater Kildare with Shireroth. She was named Dutchess of Vigeland as a consolation prize, but she rejected the title. Officially, she held the title for 1 day before it was passed on to her son Marcus.

In 1715, his mother Sara died, and he inherited the title Prince among the Lakes from her. After this death, Li Naomiai, a distant cousin, took on herself to mentor the young Prince. The two struck up a deep friendship, and when Li died in 1722, he inherited her Huyenkula properties and her seat in the Senate of the Lakes. Four years later, his second mother, Aurelia died.

Committing thereafter to a life in the service of the Order of the Holy Lakes, his prominence in the Senate grew. By 1728, he was elected Commander of the Order of the Holy Lakes.

The same year, he married a distant relative, his seventh cousin twice removed, Lady Samira Caprici Maleki, in a small private ceremony in the Palace of the Elenaran. On 2.I.1730, he was confirmed as the Regent of the Lakes, succeeding the vacancy left by the assassination of Patrik Djupvik.

On 19.XII.1730, his wife gave birth to their first-born child, a daughter who they named Leyla.

Coat of arms

Coat of arms of Marcus Avon-El Myksos

Upon his mother Sara's death in 1715, Marcus inherited her coat of arms as Princess among the Lakes.

The coat of arms traces its history back to 1529, when it was adopted by Rashid Shahanshah as his personal coat of arms in Hurmu as Prince among the Lakes. It is heavily based on the coat of arms of Babkha. As such, it features a circular shield in a Babkhan heraldic fashion, with two Euran lions as supporters, armed with swords.

The shield, with a golden bordure, itself is quartered, as follows:

• Quarter I: The coat of arms of Babkha; on a black field, a golden lion and sun.
• Quarter II: Something Ahura Mazda ish?
• Quarter III: The coat of arms of the House of Ayreon-Kalirion; on a black field, the mountains of Yaanek, illuminated by the golden Star of Sathrati.
• Quarter IV: The coat of arms of Nidaros (without the silver Nidaros rose); on a white field, with a red bordure and red bend sinister, a black stag (added in 1537 to symbolize Rashid's rule as King over Nidaros).

Upon the shield is escutcheoned a smaller circular shield, with a golden bordure, featuring the coat of arms of Hurmu.

Finally, the collar of the Order of the Holy Lakes hangs around the coat of arms.
