Gabrelius

Gabrelius (born John Vance Eccelston) was an erinian politician and general who became the 30th Grand Protector of Erinia.

He continued the decentralization trends of his predecessor, Thalias, granting more autonomy and initiative to local military commanders on the frontiers. Gabrelius also had to contend with a revolt against taxes in the colonial city of Skagon-in-the-West, which was crushed decisively by the colonial militias.

Gabrelius also lead a notorious private life, with rampant rumours regarding his attraction towards the male sex. Reportedly, Gabrelius even openly admitted to bedding several men on a drunken rant to an ambassador from Rudia.

Gabrielus died of a heart disease at the age of 53. He was succeeded by the influential general, Septanian.
