King Andrei I was the second King of Stoinia and the first King born on Stoinia itself. He may not have been the greatest war hero, but he certainly was crucial to Stoinian doctrine, both religious and societal. Because of his well thought doctrines, he gained the nickname Philosopher King.

Early Life
As heir to the new Stoinian Throne, Andrei received the best education Stoinia could offer. While at the age of 16 most of the Stoinian expected him to go to a newly build military college, he was instead sent to live amongst the Shintoïst enclave in a rural area of Stoinia. Here Andrei learned of their discipline to perfection and certainly had an impact on him. He joined in many of the local conversations there and got a good insight of their meaning. Regardless of religions, he was also trained in sword fighting. The Stoinians hadn't forgotten its importance during the War at Home.
After his two year stay at the Shintoïst enclave, he enrolled into the Royal Military Academy near Sinaia, where he excelled due to his Shintoïst training. He made the basic rules of sword fighting training for the army, his techniques used to this day. However rather than serving his time as Crown Prince in the army, he opted to visit his Kingdom and learn more about the planet. He also invested a lot of time in philosophies from different groups as a means to create an overarching Stoinian philosophy, eventually gaining him his nickname.

Reign
When his father died, he gained the Throne at the age of 38. It hadn't taken a long time until his views would come into play. He gathered the heads of each Church or a strong representative of them, to further detail his overarching philosophy. Of course when he asked the Shintoïst to bring their representative, they told him they had granted him the title of ikigami, the living Stoinian Spirit. And as such became their head of church. Mankind had become central in this too and all religions accepted the importance in Mankind's survival. Tolerance and respect amongst each other were of importance now too, as they couldn't afford internal skirmishers with xeno threats looming around. Because of their isolation from Terra, new heads were appointed to each church where this applied. As a result the Catholic Bishop became the new Stoinian Pope and the Orthodox instated the Patriarch of Sinaia. 
Although his first act was a religious was, it wouldn't be his last. He would form together with the high ranking officers the Book of Stoinian Warfare. This book contained the military protocols for how to act in nearly every situation. Teaching the Stoinians how to deal with different xeno soldiers to maintaining a good mental health. The Army wasn't becoming just an instrument, but an institution with its own philosophy.
Regardless of ethnicity or religions, they were all sons and daughters from Terra. And as such they will stand united in war and in peace. Squabbling between ethnicities became at an all time low, though of course it lived on in jokes and comedy. Now though, no one would be offended by it as it was clear now that it was all in good spirits. Because of the different traditionalists that lived he also discussed with his heir, Iulian, to ensure that each way of life would be preserved. As this was the promise his father had given to the people.
He also set in stone that monarchs could only marry commoners. With different noble houses, he was afraid that intermingling between them would lead to the downfall of Stoinia. Thus his wish became law.
He would later also send his sons to live amongst the Shintoïsts as well, setting a tradition in motion which would go for every Stoinian monarch.
King Andrei had also realised the importance of a healthy and strong populace. That is why every school has a compulsory 8 hour sport program where gradually, students learned to shoot with guns and learn of the military life. This was created together with his son, who had become a proficient career military officer. Also duty, respect and honour were instilled in these lessons to create a populace who understood the military well. This became a mile stone in Stoinian history as it ensured a populace ready for a fight.

He also further industrialised the cities to begin the foundations for ship construction. He knew he wouldn't live to see it, but he dreamed to realise the philosophy that had brought them here. Spreading Mankind to the stars was a must to ensure its survival and Andrei would lay the first brick.

Death
King Andrei I died in his sleep due to unknown causes. Regardless of this he was held in high regards by his people for his type of rule and respected him. He made the crucial parts of Stoinian philosophy, which would become an essential part to their identity.
