Raven Lionclaw II

Raven Lionclaw II, 1245-1342, was an Izlandian politician, and a member of House Lionclaw. Raven did a lot as a politician, as he not only was he one of the founders of the Mercantile Party, but Raven also served as the first Minister of Trade, and after that Raven was a Consul of Izland for three terms, and he would continue to serve with distinction, and after that as Minister of the Treasury...Although because of Raven's constantly working ethic, he rarely spent time with his family, and as such, he felt a divide between him and his kids. Raven had seven children, Artorios Lionclaw, Constantine Lionclaw, Octavia Lionclaw, Adriana Lionclaw, Attius Lionclaw, Brynjar Lionclaw, and Junius Lionclaw. Of these seven only Constantine would eventually go into politics, Attius, Junius, and Artorios all became generals, and Octavia and Adriana started a large business which mass-produced supplies, and clothing for the army. Most would say that the reason Raven's kids were so different from him was caused by his lack of time spent with them. In the end, throughout all of the great things Raven did, and all the time he spent making sure the Republic of Izland would not collapse, he ended up not having enough time to spend proper time with his kids, and as such none of them truly lived up to his legacy. Raven was considered a founding father, along with famous faces like Thronin Morgana. Raven overall became the longest serving Izlandian Politician, overall serving eighty years, with only four years just being on the council, with the other seventy-six having positions. Raven retired in 1342 from being Arbiter and retreated to his families estate on the edge of the Merrywood, where he relaxed for the first time since childhood. After two months he passed away, becoming the last founding father to die. At his death there was a mass funeral, though he had asked for quite the opposite. Massive parades attracted millions, as he was brought down to Castleton, before being buried in the Merrywood.
