Notable People (KdM Map Game)

Description
When adding any sort of people, make sure to put all names in order as (First Name) (Nick Name) (Middle Name) then (Surname), regardless of culture to make it easier to determine which is which. But you are allowed to put their names properly according to their culture in their description.

List of Notable People by rank
Since the 1200s, the Chaldea Secret Society is a cult that is dedicated to preserving knowledge and to bring historical figures back from the dead as spirits (although are currently unsuccessful). Sanctified Catalog of Personae is a subsection of the cult and is responsible for its database. Regardless of one may think of them, they have cataloged almost every notable person throughout history. One day, they hopefully will be able to make use of the list below. Rankings are pretty fluid and exceptions may apply. (Warning: some historical figures might be mistakenly left out, be sure to add them if you feel the need to) ALPHABETICAL ORDER PLEASE.

Fifth Tier
Those that fall within this ranking are considered one of the most legendary historical figures in KdM. To land on this list, not only they are considered major historical figures for doing something significant, but they also must be very popular with the player base as well. They should be in the mod events as well, maybe more than once. Very few people would make it to this tier. Some examples of Fifth-tier people include: Nera or Attilla.
 * Artoria II Pendragon (Late 1317 - 1389): Alternatively spelled as "Arturia II", she was known as Ember. She was the Queen of Frangleterre, later known as Britain, since 1351. She was born to the Pendragon family in 1317, an exiled family that once ruled the Kingdoms of Eire and Walesland. They was in exile since the Franglo-French war had spread to Eire (Ireland). However, when Artoria was born, her family had noticed her features matched Arturia's likeness. It was one day that she found Excalibur with its blade embedded deep within a rock, legends say that the person who pulls it would bring the isles to salvation. Whether it is for fun or curiosity, she somehow managed to pull the Excalibur when she tried it herself to several witnesses. People around her believed her to be the second coming of Arturia (or today as Artoria) and rumors spread throughout the region. However, whether it is to her decision or her parents' she escaped to Mainland Europe and traveled east, where she was later captured by Daevites. Empress Aurelia later saved her and raised her as an apprentice. Both participated in the Siege of Berlin (the Last Crusade), before Artoria returned home later on herself. She eventually became the Queen of Frangleterre after saving the Kingdom and would move on to form Britain. She disappeared into the forest in 1389 at the age of 72, becoming the legend of the Lost Queen.
 * Attilla (399 AD-455 AD): Matriarch of the Daevite Empire. She is most known for leading the Daevite Invasions (OTL Huns) against the Roman Empire. She died at the Siege of Vienna (447AD - 455AD). She was personally challenged by Roman Empress Nera, Attilla accepted at the middle of the afternoon. Unfortunately Attilla would be defeated and be killed off honorably, meaning Nera had won the duel. Although, there are rumors that she was alive under the false name of "Petilia", propagated by Pius Momus.
 * Bulijin Khatun (c. 1242 - 1333): Third ruler and Matriarch of the Second Daevite Empire. When she was 16, she found an abandoned infant on the road (later named Atman), she adopted him. Bulijin liked dueling people, reasoning it give her "real practice", her honor during duels gave her a respected reputation with many warriors in eastern Asia (such as with Ojirou Souji). She led the second wave of invasions against Japan during the 1281, which resulted in thousands of deaths on both sides. Bulijin believed the islands were "unconquerable" and she wanted to continue her father's dream of one day changing that. However, she was later defeated during the Liberation of Takao against the Eleven Palatials. She gave up and instead turned her attention westward to the Holy Roman Empire, City of Jerusalem, and the city of Rome. She later fought during the Siege of Berlin and was slain by Empress Aurelia. Her body was carried off by Ojirou Souji.
 * Fiete Kjær (1337-1429): Born Fredrika Astrid Kjær, niece to the Vestkyster traveller swordswoman Hildr, she was inspired by the stories of her aunt's travels to depart from Oslo and make her way to Frangleterre, where she would reunite with her aunt. At some point during this journey, she started adopting the name Fiete, for unknown reasons. She participated in the Second Battle of Camlann and was noted to be a particularly skillful sword- and pike-wielder. After Hildr's death, she stayed in Britain, becoming a knight and apprentice of Artoria II, and took part in the invasion of Eire. During her time as an apprentice, she founded the Kjærsfekter, a branch of the Round Table which has significant influence over Northern Europe. Afterwards, she returned to Vestkyst, where she led armies to take down a rebellious Danemark their supporter Svearike, named heiress (and eventually crowned Queen) of Vestkyst and formed the Kalmar/Scandinavian Union. She was the former master of Morgon de Noyon, who refounded of the Paladins of Charlemagne. Complications between their relationship led her to Orleans in 1429 to seek closure. She was killed by Joan of Arc, with the British banner stabbed into her chest. She died in Morgan's arms shortly after.
 * Ioxamander al-Rum (c. 1491 - 1568): Commonly known as Ioxamander the Conqueror in the West and Ioxamander The Magnificent in his realm, was the 13th Azarkh of the Atouman Empire from 1519 to 1568. Ioxamander succeeded his older brother, Achaeus, as Azarkh in the midst of the Atouman-Isetium War, and begin his reign with a series of military campaigns against Pagan and Christian powers along the Mediterranean. Alexandria would fall in 1522, with Makkah falling the following year. During a period often referred to as "Absolute Carnage", Ioxamander would lead a brutal conquest of North Africa, inflicting mass genocide against the ethnic Pagans and expanding as far as Tlemcen. After these campaigns in Africa, Ioxamander would become a prominent monarch of 16th-century Europe, adopting the European monikor of "The Conqueror" or "The Horseman". He presided over the apex of the Atouman Empire's economic, military and political power, exercising his influence in the overthrow of the Ahuric Empire in the 1530s and later defeating the Safaretid dynasty of Persia, although would be face his first career defeat in Elam in 1554. Instrumental to the Atouman "golden age", Ioxamander was a profound painter and poet in his later life, and instituted a number of religious, judicial, legislative, educational, and taxation reform that would constitute the back-bone of Atouman domestic policy for nearly two centuries following. As a writer, Ioxamander would compose the "Ionia Trilogy" in the late 1550s before mounting an offensive against Eskosia in the 1560s, with him infamously dying upon delivery of news that the city of Eskos had fallen in 1568. He would be succeeded by his son, Khanidon.
 * Isangga (c.1582 - 1649): Isangga, full name Yagu Gwalgya-i Isangga was the first Emperor of the Naranga Empire (later Azure Cathay). He was of relatively humble beginnings, born as the bastard son of Yagu Gwalgya-i Sirke, the ruler of the Gwalgya state, which occupied the OTL Liaodong Peninsula. Following the death of his father in 1601, Isangga embarked on numerous military campaigns to avenge his father by sword, a duty of sons in Amurian culture. In 1602, Isangga deposed his mentally ill brother Jiramnamo, beginning his 47 year reign. In 1616, he defeated his blood brother in battle, mortally wounding him in an accident, and unified Jochureon. However, this was not the end of his conquests, as soon after he allied with the Nihonese to subjugate Joseon, partioniting it, and with the help of his Mongol allies conquered the Khitan. However, Isangga's crowning conquest was his conquest of Wu, which saw anywhere from 5-10 million dead as a direct result of the enormous conflict. However, he is remembered not for his unlikely and expansive conquests, but for his numerous reforms which transformed the society and culture of China. Most obviously, there was a crackdown on certain religious movements during his reign, most notably New Xianism. In addition, Isangga implemented a new system of bureaucratic examinations which tested one's knowledge in a given field. This stood in stark contrast to the Sinitic style of state examinations which only sought to create a cohesive state ideology and philosophy. He is also noted for him singlehandedly devising the Naranga script and the Naranga/Cathayan Constitution, which laid out a system of early democracy at the local level and a clear balance of powers. During his reign, numerous economic reforms and technological advances transformed the economy of Amuria, a direct contribution to later industrialization in East Asia. As such, much of the economic and political systems and institutions of East Asia can effectively be traced to him. On a personal level, Isangga was a significantly more sentimental individual than most rulers, deeply regretting many of his actions at death. These deeply human aspects of his character, juxtaposed with his almost-inhuman accomplishments as a ruler, have made him the topic of much discussion and analysis following his death. He was succeeded by his nephew, Haryansol, upon his death.
 * Jeanne of Arc (c. 1412 - 1431* ~ ???): Born in 1412, she grew up with many siblings, but the closest one she was with is her twin sister Joan (Anne) of Arc. Jeanne went into a larger town, determined to fight for France and in the name of God. She met a captain there and demanded that he takes her to the Duke of Orleans. She participated in a couple major battles, leading up to the battle of Orleans. Her actions has saved Orleans from destruction and resulted in a informal truce with Britain, which won't be made into a formal ceasefire until 1431. During the following months, rumor has it that Jeanne has killed King Henry of Mordue, though this is probably propaganda value.  On 23 May 1430 Jeanne was with a force that attempted to attack a Burgundian camp somewhere in Northern France, as Burgundy and France do not have a truce, but was ambushed and captured. Jeanne was transferred into British custody, which accused her of murdering "King Henry Mordue", along with charging her of "heresy against the church" and "self-proclaimed messager of God." She would be sentenced to death by burning on 30 May, 1431. Her sister, Joan, had switched places with her before the execution. She told her to "run as far as you can." These words will haunt Jeanne forever.  She told Jeanne to "run" and Jeanne disappeared from history ever since.
 * Morgan de Noyon (1383 - 1469): Born in France on the year 1383, he knew there was something more to him when he saw a shooting star. When everyone around him thought it was an omen, he thought it was a sign of greatness. He had set out to become Fiete's apprentice, an impressionable boy who had discovered the legend of the Roundtable Knights. He later left her, disappointed that she did not accept what he became. He went to France and refounded the Paladins, setting himself up as the second coming of Charlemagne as his face have an uncanny similarity to some of the statues. He was determined to set up a new beginning of protection and hope for the people. He became exhausted from his experiences of war, got married and retired. He have heard the calls for one last trip, he took it, determined to uphold his ideals. He ended up defying fate and survived Constantinople and was tasked to protect the knowledge and help spread it, allowing him to spur his own thinking. He, once again, took the fight to the Atoumans as some sort of revenge in Constantinople. Now in 1469, he finds himself in his wife's arms drawing his last breath as he wonders if he ever did enough in his life. Before he passed, he hears his wife say these words that puts him at peace, "You did enough for me, get some rest."
 * Nera Claudia (410 AD- 476 AD): The story of Nera Claudia is a profound one that has a lasting effect on European history. Many European dynasties could trace their origins back to her family (specifically her 5 nephews). The Legend goes that Nera, who's real name has been lost to history, was born a lowly girl at a village near the borders. When recruitment passed by her village, she disguised herself as a man and joined the Legion (as women were not exactly allowed to join the Legion at the time. At most, they joined the less prestigious auxiliary forces). She quickly rose through the ranks, catching the eye of Widow of the late emperor Valentinian III, the contemporary emperor. It was later discovered that Nera was, infact, a woman. The emperor was so impressed by her that he took her to become his wife. It was not until his death that Nera took over his duties (against the wishes of others) in order to later combat the Daevite hordes pouring into Europe. In the legend, Nera challenged Attilla to a "duel of fates", and both fought somewhere north of the Balkans. She is known for personally stopping the Daevite invasions and challenged Attilla to the duel (to which she won). Her bloodline (Neo-Claudia) has produced other historical figures such as Queen Artoria and is considered one of the most popular characters in history. She was also immortalized by Pius Momus in his erotica for unknown reasons. Nera Claudia went on to expand the Roman Empire to twice its size.
 * Pius Momus (c. 457 - 508): A Roman poet, historian, philosopher, and writer. He is well-known for his romanticized view of history, sometimes speculative, an aspect that is adopted by future historians. His most famous story is one of the Umor Daevites and the Roman Empire fighting each other. His main characters of his work are based on actual historical figures, Attilla and Nera. They secretly became lovers of each other after a duel fight with Attilla, who ended up adopting the name Petilia. His famous work would also be one of the earliest erotica works in written history.
 * Sicily Man (Omo Xiqiliya) (c. 1180-1247): A Sicilian Man who participated in the 4th Crusade. A no-name son of a merchant (he literally had no name, he was called Il Primo, or the first, because he was the firstborn) who rallied some peasants and soldiers to go fight. He had extraordinary fighting capability and was extremely intelligent. Escaping the Byzantine Bloodbath with Erzsebet Bartok, he decides to go to the Orient with her. While wandering through the Mongol Empire, they make friends with Temujin Khan. He ends up in Yun, where he became the regent of the young emperor Ninzong from 1217-1228. After being kicked out from Yun (now named Wei), he returns to his native Sicily and writes 2 books, An Oriental Cookbook, and Wonders of the Orient.
 * Tomoe Gozen: (c. 1220s-1310s ): She was the ruler and unifying force of Yamato (Japan), she most famously defended the homelands against the Daevite Invasions. She spent most of her life splitting clan power in Yamato as she pleased, fundamentally carving the region into five major power blocs in major opposition to each other yet insufficient power to actually oppose her; while the country endured numerous riots and altercations, she kept Yamato stable while keeping foreign invaders out of the empire for which she fought on the frontlines as well. Her birth and death dates remain unknown because of obscufation by various clans in Japan attempting to earn a political notch via her funeral (though it is hinted her lifespan to be 1225 to 1319 in non-canon works). What remains of her writing professes numerous military strategies which continued to be followed in Yamato as well as respect for the forces being led against her by the Daevites' Bulijin Khatun; her political influence guaranteed that for more centuries to come Japan would remain a heavily matriarchal society.
 * Usapte Aptok-tu (1592 - 1664): An Ainu woman who grew up in the last of the Japanese military orders, she went on to become not only an influential power-broker throughout most of Asia but the woman who would go on to define history as the world knew it. Early on, she rode on the artificial stability of the Toyotomi Shogunate to found the Satsuma General Company in 1613, and with her influence cooperated with dozens of local lords and other states to bring their unruly populations under control in exchange for a tidy profit - and her work evolved into modern Nipponese Capitalism, which she defined on her own terms - initially defining it in the abstracts of labour, demand, supply, in such a fashion that it helped to lay the foundations of dozens of economic theories. And that profiteering led to the creation of the Japanese Salt Trade Bubble in 1652 and the Empire that accompanied it; on top of mass urbanisation and technological revolution on a scale heretofore unbelieved in history - on the foundation of the graves of thousands, and the genocide of thousands more.

Fourth Tier
Those that fall within this category are considered one of the best historical figures in KdM. To land on this list, they should be popular among the player base, mentioned at least once in the mod events but fall short of making a much of a significant impact on history. Exceptions may apply. They are typically player-ma.de. Examples include: Pius Momus, Queen Artoria, or Charlemagne.

Horrified, he fled Svearike to Keisairvalta, where he was taken in by General Alexandris(?), he later was used to found Keisaria (Alt-Russia) and later went on conquests to the east, drawing ire from the Third Daevite Empire under Tulaani. In a long war, he managed to defeat Tulaani and killed her, reminiscent of Aurelia Aurora Augusta killing Bulijin in 1333 given his background from a long line of people tracing mentorship back to Aurelia. He took up his own apprentice: Vallen O.-Drahoman. He later went more insane, and killed a good portion of his generals and became a brutal despot over his population. He was captured by his former apprentice and he was forced to abdicate. He died a few years later.

Between 768 and 773, she dreamt of reuniting Roma Occidental under Frankish rule, she spent 5 years orchestrating the unification of old Gallia through political intrigue she had learned through her brother's death in 768, but instead labeled it under the Frankish domain. This feat had allowed her to produce a new name "Charles Magnus" (which means the Great) or "Charlemagne". Charlemagne also established the Paladins, inspired by the legends surrounding the Knights of the Round Table. She would die on 814 under the name "Charles".
 * Chagatai Khan (Ghost Khan):

He was notably good-natured, opening the door to rescue peasants from the Daevite horde and saving Ember's life on multiple occasions. During the campaign in Berlin, he met and fell in love with Päiva Steinmann. The next year, they married and would build a family together.

The "Lost Treasure of Dumort" was one of the most sought after treasures in history. Remanus III reported in his personal memoir that Maeve's eyes seem to glow or glisten whenever she is in combat, leading him to believe she is a vampire. Maeve's life caught up to her and she died protecting her family in 1460. Remanus believed that his brother sent soldiers after her. Joanna believes the answer lies in Britain.
