Sovereign Asíron Imádoryé Mastanéa is the current monarch of the Verseinian Sovereignty, for the battleship VSS Asíron Mastanéa click on the link.

He ascended the throne by election on Feb 13th, 2042, shortly after the forming of the nation. He is the closest living descendant of the previous Queen Elizabeth, who passed away in 1892. In addition to his birthright, he was a popular candidate as he played a major part in the Verseinian War for Independence, as an activist and commander.

His Life
He was born on June 3rd, 2016, making him 26 when he was crowned. Some speculated on whether such a young person could make an effective monarch, however his quick and decisive actions quelled most complaints. Under his direction the nation quickly became a major player on the international stage. He is now universally loved by his citizens, being seen as charismatic, optimistic, and convincing.

On the day of his coronation he was greeted by Life and Death in a rather ceremonious way as they proposed a deal. The gods told him that Verseinia was destined for greatness and that he was to be the one to lead the nation under their direction. In exchange for a life of faithful service to them, they would grant Asíron immortality. He accepted and was made immortal during the coronation ceremony lead by the gods themselves. It was an event witnessed by millions and heard of by everyone.

Following his ascension to immortality, he ruled the nation for nearly 28,000 years. In the year 30,004 AD, he expressed to the gods his desire to finally be with them, and so they lifted his immortality so that he could begin aging. He abdicated the throne to his most trusted advisor, Victor Beaulieu, and lived the remainder of his life outside of politics. He passed away at the biological age of 102 in the year 30,078 AD.

His Military Career
Asíron began his life in the public eye in the 2030's as an outspoken activist for Verseinian independence. He organized several protests and it was one of his protests that turned into an attack that sparked the revolution in 2039. Due to his prominence in the separatist movement, he quickly became a poster child of the rebellion. During the invasion of Albanov on June 7th, 2040, he played a major role in directing troops and issuing orders. His skill as a general was quickly becoming public knowledge, and thus, during a victory speech given by him on June 15th from an occupied Albanov, Vosonovan forces attempted to assassinate him. The attempt was unsuccessful, however it bolstered the push for independence.

Following a major bombing event from the Vosonovans in January of 2041, he pleaded for support from Sisli, and his request was accepted. This cemented his position as a leader in the eyes of the world and especially of Verseinians. During the battle of Frozen River, Asíron was taken as a prisoner by Vosonovan forces and sent to a POW camp in the far north. There, he used his boots to dig tunnels to aid in the escape of over 41 other prisoners in the camp. As he made his own escape one night, the damaged boots had exposed metal surfaces and caused sparks to fly as he ran away from the camp on the pavement. This image of him running with sparks coming from his feet was used as a pro-separatist poster all over Vosonova, and is the inspiration behind the elite special forces group called The Spark Battalion in the Verseinian military.
