Haldric Maldian (born: 30 June 1927, died: 7 July 2000) was the 2nd Premier (Pontissiano) of the Caropsyne Pontanore.

Early Years and Personal Life

Haldric Maldian was born on 30 June 1927 in the town of Carmeldanna located outside the city of Ariatra in Southern Carops during the economic depression of late twenties and early thirties. His parents owned an expansive farm where they raised pigs and grew grain. Unlike most farms in the region, theirs was likely one of the few profitable ones as many were forced to shut down. His parents were fiercely religious and instilled in Haldric his own beliefs from a young age. Haldric was just entering his first year of primary schooling when Premier Dorias Rormold had been overthrown by the Fostana who then subsequently declared a national emergency, shutting down the Pontiana and taking complete control over the country.

At the age of 12, Haldric was transferred to a Fostitio in Ariatra. It was at this time that the State of Carops at in the grips of the Great War against Loslakia and her allies. The Fostana, in need of men, conscripted his father to fight. When he learned this news, he feared that he would never see him again. To help him cope with his father's absence, he began writing elaborate compositions with complex language structures. As kept writing, his interest in language grew. At the front, his father would read these and would share his pride for his son with his compatriots. Luckily, he survived the conflict and both father and son were reunited.

Haldric would graduate with first honors in language from his Fostitio in 1946 and given a chance to further his knowledge in lingustics at the Imperial University Fornænda. He discussed the opportunity with his parents and he felt bad that he was turning his back on their farm but they both encouraged him to continue his studies. He received his doctorate in linguistics in 1951. For the next twelve years he would lecture students at the university. He met his wife Soria (nee. Gamela) one day over a cup of coffee at an cafe in Ariatra following an earlier guest lecture at Holmas University in 1954. They would date for three years before getting married in 1957. Both Haldric and Soria would have four children together.

In the early 1960's, Haldric decided that he wanted to get involved in politics. His father, a military veteran and wealthy landowner, began to introduce him to many of his friends in the military and business circles which would serve him well in the future. His family's overall fortunes were dramatically better at this point as the Fostana had decided to collectivize all of the farms except for those on the mainland or on the island of Casona.
