Balty Majeed

Balty Majeed (1460–1520) was a Babkhan-born Shirerithian and Elwynnese military officer, politician, and aristocrat.

In his teens, Balty joined the Babkhan armed forces, and received commission as an officer in 1480. He accompanied Rakesh Ackbar as squire during negotiations for the Mango–Camel Pact, which Kaiseress Aurefiction, not trusting her ministers, negotiated entirely by herself (on behalf of Shireroth). Balty and the Kaiseress became close, fell in love with one another, and married morganatically in a ceremony in Babkha, in 1482 which was not publicised at the time. She became pregnant by Balty, and gave birth to a child, Amaltheia, just a few days before killing herself. Balty took on his paternal duty and raised the child himself. He rose to the rank of Lt. Colonel in the Babkhan military and was later appointed the Atabek-e Azam (Prime Minister) of Kumarastan.

In 1488, Balty moved with his daughter to Elwynn, becoming a Shirerithian citizen (which he renounced quickly, once securing Shirerithian citizenship for his daughter). Ardashir Khan appointed him to the Order of the Dead Stagg. He took on employment as squire to Ardashir, Baron of Elwynn, and helped Ardashir in his reforms of the Elfinshi-tainted governmental structure. He also led troops in the Elfinshi War.

The Alalehzamini bailiwick of Baltyshahr is named after him, as is the cargo transporter MV Balty Majeed.

Among Balty Majeed's descendants may be found Kaiser Aurangzeb, Kaiseress Noor, Kaiser Ayreon IV, and Kaiseress Salome, as well as Jaaguzan, Shahanshah of Çakaristan, Isor Verion, Prince Uturuncu (heir to the throne of Nouvelle Alexandrie), and Prime Minister Jamshid-e Osman of Hurmu, among many others.
