Markadian I
Markadian I, called the Victorious (or simply “The Victor”), was a nobleman of House Darius who overthrew the Barcan dynasty and claimed the throne of Talingarde, in the name of his patron Mitra. He was succeeded on the throne by both of his sons in turn, his grandson and his great-grandson. The Victor is a famous and beloved figure in Talirean history; nobles and peasants alike revere his memory, and statues of him can be seen in almost every town and city.
