Ivan Baladin

"Stay your tongue, child, you do not get to make demands of me.  There are only two men I answer to:  King and God." -Supreme Commander Baladin scolding Anérud:on

 The Exalted Right Lord, Supreme Commander Ivan Losintzksa Baladin IV, quite often shortened to Supreme Commander Baladin, is the highest ranking member of the King's Hand military force, and overseer of the entire Kortzkovian military. With nearly 50 years of combat experience, and a family lineage consisting predominantly of warlords, he is highly respected (especially among fellow soldiers), and his opinions are held in extremely high redard. He personally led various military campaigns that served to expand Kortzkovia's influence, turning it into the largest empire in human history, an achievement that eventually earned him the title of Exalted Lord.

During the War With the Mith in 1311, he collaberated with long-term friend, Grandmaster Rodin, in a two-part counterattack and evacuation operation.
