Daniyal Ardashir Shapur al-Osman

Daniyal Ardashir Shapur al-Osman, born 1705 AN as the son of Daniyal Aurangzeb Kalirion-Osman by an unknown concubine, and destined to become an army officer of wellborn descent and profligate ways. In 1725 AN he was bound over to keep the peace after attempting to abduct an heiress from the streets of Chryse. He was educated privately at first, then at the School of Erudition, and from 1728 AN to 1730 AN at the Benacian Academy.

In 1730 AN Daniyal Ardashir Shapur al-Osman was summoned to Sathrati and appointed to the nominal command of the Sathrati Vanguard Corps, an expanded paramilitary association and local defence force established on 12.III.1730 AN with the objective of defending Humanism in the islands against a mooted Shirerithian reconquest. In this capacity he would be acting as the servitor of his paternal grandfather, Aurangzeb Tokaraizadeh al-Osman, the Count Palatine of Mirioth and Amity and de facto dictator of Sathrati.

Being caught up in the Shirerithian invasion, Daniyal was notably absent from the 1733 mass wedding at Teldrin, being instead rumoured to have fallen in with the Sathrati Resistance Army. These circumstances spared him from participation in the active fronts of the Shiro-Benacian War, except that various instances of commerce-raiding, reported in Shirerithian sources as flagrant piracy, in the waters around Amity would be attributed to him over the subsequent decade.

His reappearance in the Florencian port of Lapano in 1745 AN would seemingly mark the conclusion of his career outside the official power structures of the Union-State. Rehabilitation would swiftly follow, and by 1749 AN he was reported to have been appointed as Bailiff of Capitolia and married to Lilean Glaw, a socialite and procuress with ties to the N&H Future Leadership Programme.
