Harris North

Harris North (or, in Parleur Harris du Nord or Pre-Alexandoman Harris Aquilo) was the 7th and 9th king of Alexandonium. He was born to a peasant woman named Kathrone Carrello and King Thoris North. He is significant for bringing the country back from debt and into a financial golden age.

History
Harris North was born on March 20,  to King Thoris North and Kathrone North. His father plunged the nation into an economic debt crisis, with debt equaling up to 4.1 billion dollars in American money. After the construction of the Golden Palace, Thoris North realized what he had just done in his arrogance of gaining more power after the conquer of the mountain-island of Boreas. He repented, but the Golden Palace wasn't demolished.

Thoris North died when Harris was 12. With Harris as his only male successor, Harris gained the throne. Under the guidance of his wisened mother Kathrone, who was a descendant of the Anglus founder. When Harris grew older, he toyed with the army, conquering useless strongholds that were far away from the capital. When nearly 200 Alexandon citizens rebelled, he realized that his nation's debt itself was the problem, not the lack of expansion. He focused on depleting the nation's debt and immediately demolished the Golden Palace. The only thing he left was the Nordsabre, a relic that had never been in a losing battle. Legends have been created about the artifact, though the real Nordsabre has never been found.

After adding jobs to the people in his castle and to the people on the streets, the nation, almost overnight, reached a financial golden age. The Alexandon city of Mattlon became an important center of trade, and soon obtained the title of "River-town of Trade."

Once attending a feast in the middle of town, his life was threatened by one of his own knights, Dorrick Halverstan. He overthrew North and imprisoned him in the Cannusarx, otherwise known as the melancholy Grey Towers.

After three years, Halverstan died of an illness, probably of the rare disease Conium. Seeing that Halverstan had no heirs, the Alexandoman people sat their former king Harris North on the throne, therefore North became the 7th and 9th King.

He served his country for fifteen years before dying, his last words saying, "Mon devoir est accompli. Que mon le Père emmène-moi." Then repeating in common langauge, "My duty is done. Let my Father take me away."

His son, Perpus, succeeded him and became another great king, following in his father's footsteps.
