Originally from Terra, Alexndru had a dream to spread humanity out to the stars and ensure that its cultures would endure the tests of time. For this reason he made a fortune out of his engineering company and came into contact with essential people to realise his dream: an independent human colony. He would go down in history as Alexandru I, first King of Stoinia.

Early Life
Born to a middle class Romanian family, he lead a comfortable life. Growing up he took a keen interest in engineering and would later become one in ship manufacturing. Eventually because of the succeds his company he could realise his dream. He sent out recruitment posters around the whole world for traditional people looking to preserve their way of life. Eventually he didn't get quite enough for his initial plans and started to recruit families from lower income class as well. This lead him to around a total of 100.000 colonists. With help of these new colonists they put all the money they had to create their sleeper colony ship the Zamolxis. Of course they would also need a destination. For this they choose to go beyond Earth's influence and would need to scan for nearby habitable planets. This all under the supervision of routine check ups, it is worth noting that during one of these check ups an error occurred, but was later corrected. Eventually the colony ship would land on a planet they would name Virtue in 1231 PD.
 

The Founding of Virtue
With only one colony ship, the planned cities had to be quite centralised. Of course he would also maintain his promise to maintain the traditional ways of life in small towns and villages. These would slowly pop up around the cities when their foundation was laid down. Slowly but steadily the colony was becoming self sufficient. A police force was instituted to maintain order. At the very top was an oligarchic council of the major shareholders, lead by Alexandru. Companies arose and made the fundaments of the Stoinian Economy, with the Virtue Dollar as its currency. 

The War at Home
After a decade of prosperity, the colonists would be faced with a terrible test. The Mardakii, a nomadic gorilla like mammalian alien who invaded Virtue. Although their numbers were into the few thousands, the technological discrepancy proved too much for the Stoinians. For this reason they retreated into the rural towns. Amongst the traditionalists were swordsmiths who taught the refugees to make weapons and train them in fighting. Alexandru himself would also participate in this as he felt the invasion was partly his responsibility. The Chief Police Officer Kurt Flannigan acted as the head of the Virtue Armed Resistance, the resistance Alexandru would join and eventually become a high ranking officer.
As the Mardakii had taken control of the major industries, the colonists had to turn to traditional methods. Sword fighting was the only option they had. The Japanese were largely responsible in training the majority of the new soldiers as their methods were the most effective. Although they had brought horses with them to Virtue, there weren't enough for everyone so a cavalry was installed to support the troops. By fortune or luck, the Mardakii had preferred to fight in melee combat. Some speculate it was out of respect or that this was a way of toying with their prey. The combat was also held in the three main cities: Sinaia, New Brussels and Salisbury. It would take two years to fully reclaim the planet and eliminated Mardakii central command. The Mardakii had turned from the hunters into the hunted. The colonists now eager for revenge hunted down the remaining Mardakii and would later put them into the Mardakii Hunting Reservation where the Great Hunt would be held.
The War was also a very costly on 36.000 colonists had died and scars were left on the planet. Most importantly it left the colonists forever scarred. The xenophobia would rise to unprecedented levels and human supremacy would reach a peak. Society would also strengthen the importance of children as to ensure their survival.
Nonetheless the War had made Alexandru into a hero. He personally lead the cavalry charge on Sinaia and slayed down the Colossus, a giant Mardakii presumed to be the leader of the Mardakii. Alexandru killed him on the place where King's Square would later be put. This war had made the colonists into the Terran Stoinians.
 

Because of the rise of human supremacy, they treated the Mardakii as animals and used their bones and pelts to make clothing and weaponry. These have now become important symbols for the Stoinians and form a core part of their identity. These items would only been further accessible through the Great Hunt or Mardakii Crusades. It serves as a constant memory to the crimes the Mardakii had done to captured colonists: molestation, torture, disfigurement and even eaten. The most important of these symbols is the Steel Crown, made out of Mardakii Steel.
 

The birth of Stoinia and the Kingdom
The Council was tasked with rebuilding of the cities, however Councilman Roger Winton decided to hold a referendum to the people. He wanted to reform society into a monarchy, lead by Alexandru who has proven himself through spirit and combat to be a worthy leader. The people voted yes and thus the Kingdom was born. When Alexandru first heard of this, he held a speech. This speech would later solidify Stoinian identity and became known as the Lion's Speech. It cemented the colonists their Terran identity and renamed them into Stoinians and gave them their motto: May they be worthy of the name. Later the planet was renamed to Stoinia, after the Stoinian Lions which inhabited it, and Alexandru made its first King.
 
In the later years of his life he struggled with his health. Eventually he would succumb to a fever. His corpse was paraded around Sinaia and thousands mourned his death. He also received full military honours from the newly formed Stoinian Army and served as a role model for the future Stoinian Kings.

Legacy
After his death he became a role model for future Kings and would earn a special spot in the hearts of the Stoinians. He would also received the nickname of Father of the Stoinia because of his massive contributions to forming the nation.
