Válistus Culiphae

Válistus Culiphae, is a Froturnish nobleman, former general, and politician, the current military consul of Froturn, and one of the advisors of King Ivahó of Froturn. He was also known as being one of the main rivals of Ardryllus Sim'vara, having fought against him during the Froturnish Civil War, including in the Battle of Ancestors Field. He is also known for having played a part in orchestrating the coup against Sim'vara in 818.

Childhood and upbringing
Válistus Culiphae on 693.1567419576 in the capital city of Yanus as the son of a noble family

Temporary Retirement
Having fought on the losing side of the civil war, Culiphae expected harsh punishment, but much to his surprise, Sim'vara proclaimed an amnesty and pardoned everyone who fought in the civil war. Nevertheless, Culiphae was heavily discouraged from engaging in politics, and thus retired to his family estate in the countryisde near Yanus. Nevertheless, he quickly re-gained his interest in politics, and thus his estate became a hotspot for resistance against the so-called "Druidic Dictatorship" (the government of Ardryllus Sim'vara and Ta'ael Myrth'nddare, seeking to continue the work of the deceased and highly controversial King Cael'mus of Froturn).

Válistus received many visitors to his estate, primarily his fellow ex-rebels, and other critics of the current regime. He also received and accepted invitations to travel to the Kingdom of Etrand and the Principality of Artaburro to speak up about the evils of his country's regime and agitate against it. He became a useful propaganda tool for the Etrandish government, which was hostile to the current Froturnish regime. He was even personally received by King Orlónius I of Etrand.

He was accused for orchestrating the Yanus protests in 815 by Sim'vara, and received a letter with a very much accusing tone from the consul himself. It is not know precisely how much was he involved in that specific incident, but it is widely know, that he practically single-handed orchestrated the 818 protests that would escalate into a full-blown coup against Sim'vara.
