King Andrei III is the fifteenth monarch of the Stoian Dynasty. As head of both the military and government, he serves his people with considerate power over them. Although his primary goal is to ensure the protection of Mankind and the Stoinian people.

Early Life
With his father's , Alexandru III, sudden death while he was but a child, the reign was passed on to General Anson MacArthur who acted as his Regent. As a small child he would be educated by his mother and Stoinia's top scholars. His education was accelerated because of the Velutarian War and his duty to lead his people. Nonetheless he proved an excellent student. He was especially interested in engineering during his schooling. Because as the future leader, he was also trained in the arts of duelling, where he made close friends, Paul Winton of House Winton. Paul and Andrei grew up together for two years on Shikoku where they learned discipline and the Shintoïst values. Of course at the age of 16 he would enrol into the Military Academy, like most teenagers eager to fight the Velutarians horrible march towards the Stoinians.
At the Military Academy at East Point he again received an accelerated course where he nearly always was put in charge. Of course he preferred to be amongst his lower ranking men and thoroughly enjoyed his time as Lieutenant and Captain. Not only was land warfare a must, but with recent upgrades with Velutarian technology the Stoinians were starting to have a fighting chance in space warfare. Both of these were necessary to win the war.

The Butcher of Velutaria
At the age of 17 T-years, he already had his first command, a Light Cruiser named Royal Rascal. He joined Grand Marshal MacArthur's push towards the Velutarian home world where he performed admirably and proved his military skills. Of course the date he turned 18 T-years old the Velutarian government had capitulated. Although the Velutarian populace was still resisting the capitulation, now King, he decided to pursue a more diplomatic approach. But when the populace had started to resort to terrorist attacks against the Stoinians, it was clear that the Velutarians wouldn't comply. High Admiral Chekov advised to bombard the planet once and for all, this way the Velutarians would never recover. King Andrei accepted this offer, though Chekov refused to take any responsibility for it and give this victory to the young King. He then held a televised speech where he was coronated on HMS Infinity and ordered the complete bombardment of Velutaria itself until no living Velutarian would be left in what he called, Holy Fire. This would later become known as the Butcher's Speech. Velutaria would be left in rumble and serve as a mark of the Stoinian Lion's wrath. This action was deemed welcome by all Stoinians who had lost 8.7 trillion of their people to the dreadful Velutarian war.
 

The Mardakii Crusade and the Cheunh Compromise
With the Velutarian War over, the Star Kingdom was left devastated. In response to the new demand of raw resources for the rebuilding of the infrastructure, the newly retrofitted Navy set out to expand the Star Kingdom's border southwards. This resulted in campaigns to purge xeno pirates who had claimed Velutarian space in the vacuum of power. Amongst these were the Mardakii, the ancient species that attacked Stoinia. King Andrei immediately assembled a sizeable Task Force to eliminate the Mardakii threat. This newly declared crusade lead him to the Cheunh Ascendancy, a young star nation plagued by the Mardakii incursions. The Stoinians helped Cheunh in distress and this created a dialogue that resulted in a joint operation. With the help of the Cheunh, and especially by Admiral Vrath'olum'nuruodo, the Mardakii central command was located and forced the Mardakii to retreat to their command post at Bogo Rai. With one swift stroke the Mardakii were eliminated and King Andrei himself killed 9 Mardakii, one for each trillion Stoinians that had died. Of course the children of the Mardakii were spared and were put into the Mardakii hunting reserves.
Recognising the prowess of the Cheunh, he decided that having them on his side would prove extremely valuable. Of course he was only receptive to the idea, because the Cheunh were very similar to the Terrans. With some speculating that they had been a lost Terran colony. The King offered the vassalization of the Cheunh Ascendancy with special status for the Cheunh. This lead to an internal debate in the Cheunh government which eventually resulted in the acceptance of the King's offer. This was due to the fear that the Cheunh Ascendancy might be attacked by the Stoinians if they didn't comply. The King himself also specified the terms with the Cheunh government as to ensure a smooth transition. Now that the Cheunh have been into his service for over ten years they have became a respected people in the Star Kingdom and are deemed equals to Terrans.

Political Views
His foremost duty is to protect the Stoinian people. This also includes to protect Mankind wherever they may be in the distant stars. This notion has been instilled in him from birth. Every action he takes as a monarch must reflect that. However when it comes to politicians he can be ruthless, as he is a strong supporter of the anti-corruption institutions. He also has very little patience when it comes to politicians who abuse their power. In such cases he advocates for sever punishment.
When it comes to foreign policy, he is the main maker of it. As is the practice in the Star Kingdom. However, unlike most Stoinians, he isn't eager to find new foes in the stars. On the contrary, he wants to ensure secure borders for his nation. This is why he may appear to some as weak when it comes to xenos. This is very apparent with the Cheunh Compromise, where most of Congress would have declared utter subjugation.
As when it comes to the Lords, he views that some of the outer sector nobility have lost their way and regard their sectors as their own mini kingdoms. He has been vocal about opponents in Congress like Lord Ethan Thorne, who clearly demands more empowerment. He also views this as an unnecessary alienation from the Stoinian people in the outer sectors.
