Isor Nebuchadnezzarion Verion (Elw: Исор Небуқанеззарион Верион, Isor Nebuqanezzarion Verion), is an Elwynnese-born nobleman and member of the House of Verion. He has been the Governor of Chryse since 1683, and Lord Protector of the United Benacian Republic since 1685.

Personal biography

9.XII.1685, his engagement to Ayesha al-Osman was announced. They are expected to wed on the Festival of the Undaunted Atos (coinciding with the Nazarene Festival of the Holy Birth) on 12.II.1686.

Political career

In 1683, Isor Verion was appointed by Supreme Director Viqh to succeed Jana Al-Basani as Governor of Chryse.

After hearing of the formation of the Franco-Batavian Empire in mid 1684, Isor invited the Magistrate of Kasterburg, Reginald de Montford, for discussions. Although De Montford chose not to say what had been discussed, Isor announced a few days later to the Chryse Assembly his intention of merging Chryse and Kasterburg into one state within Gran Verionia. In his view, a stronger Verionist consolidation of resources and powers was necessary, lest Kasterburg and Chryse would too easily be influenced by the Franco-Batavian imperialists.

With the collapse of the Gran Verionian state in early 1685, Isor Verion took charge of the situation in Benacia and declared the United Benacian Republic independent under his stewardship as Lord Protector.

On 24.IV.1685 AN Isor Verion received the Loyal Address of the loyalist Verionist officers in the garrison of the city of Chryste and acclamation of the crews of the ships of the Iron Fleet in its harbour, who thereafter loudly petitioned and clamoured for him to accept the titles of Captain-General of the United Benacian Defence Force (Bat: Verenigde Benacische Weermacht), and Admiral-General of the Free Batavian Navy (Bat: Vrije Bataafsche Marine). The tumult continued throughout the night until, at length, Isor Verion appeared on the balcony of the Hotel Astoria in downtown Chryse and - seemingly moved by genuine emotion - he proclaimed to the assembled soldiery milling about below that he would accept the burden placed upon him to become their Captain-General. Thereafter he donned the crimson sash that would denote his new rank and announced, to deafening cheers, an accession donative to be paid to all men of the forces who had remained loyal to the Verionist banner in Benacia during its darkest times. Celebrations continued in the bars, brothels, and casinos of the city for the next three days unabated.

Personality

Isor has been described as narcissistic yet insecure. He appears introverted and intelligent. He speaks Istvanistani, Elw, and Martino (with the latter learnt in early adulthood). Unlike most other members of the House of Verion, he does not speak Batavian. Despite not having lived in, or even visited, Elwynn since two months after his birth, he considers himself "culturally Elwynnese".

Rumours have it that he has never had a sexual relationship (i.e. is a "virgin"), though he acted like a playboy in night clubs before named Governor of Chryse.
