Mílos Hénás (born in 1659 AN in Ámasa-Nékardém, Amuria Province) was a Palesmenian statesman and economist who served as the first Prime Minister since the 1684 Palesmenian military coup, and the 4th Prime Minister in the nation's history. After his tenure as the mayor of Amur, he rose through the ranks of the Wúlatet regime and the Senior National Advisory Council.
Youth and early political career
Mílos was born as the second child of Márko and Nésará Hénás, and was one of four total children the couple birthed. He grew up in the small village of Ámasa-Nékardém, a village roughly 40 km north of the city of Amur. At the age of 13, his father went missing in action during Operation Return Fire, leaving his family poor and his mother, Nésará, widowed. Nésará vowed to never remarry, as she was a strict Nárhitihnist. Mílos, being the second oldest child (second to his brother, Réza) took on many responsibilities at a very young age. He eventually graduated secondary school, and eventually from the University of Ábbad in 1681 AN with a degree in economics. While in university, he developed a passion for politics. He ran and secured a position as a city councilman in Amur in 1683, and soon became Mayor of Amur 2 years later.
Rise to Prime Minister
A year after he took office as mayor, a military coup was staged in the capital, which led to rise of Thíno Wúlatet and the dissolution of the Nadcraši. A week after the coup, Hénás received a letter from Ábbad, demanding he swear his allegiance to the new regime, or his death warrant would be signed by officials in the capital. Hénás accepted his allegiance to the regime (as he had grown disillusioned with the practices of the late Nadcraši). He continued to serve as mayor of Amur for another 5 years, before being defeated Opós Yésadá in his bid for a 4th term as mayor. His time as mayor was observed with interest by those in the Senior National Advisory Council, who saw him as a valuable asset for the future. With the resignation of Véza Jésakar due to what was rumored to be a terminal illness, Hénás was nominated by the SNAC to replace her as Financial Minister. A year later, snap elections were called by the SNAC due to a period of political and economic stagnation where he, controversially, chose to run against Minister of Public Affairs Máséko Ánzina. He was ridiculed for this decision, but was allowed to run. In this election, he led the Reforásta (Reformist) faction to gain a majority within the reinstated Nadcraši.
Death
After the collapse of Palesmenia in 1698 AN, members of a remnant Palesmenian Defense Force regiment found Hénás' corpse wrapped in a rug in a drainage ditch in the rural outskirts of Ábbad. It was believed that he had been shot while attempting to flee the capital. Members of the regiment thereafter cremated the body in a makeshift funeral.
His son, Ámad, survived the collapse of Palesmenia and joined the Ábbad Society and currently resides in Noursala, Aerla.
