Minas the Diplomat (reconstructed Middle Saxender: Μηνάς; c. 2811-2754 BL) was king of the Saxenders from 2787 BL until his death in 2754. He was the first son of Pericles the Conqueror, and was educated in the Ledonian dialect and the arts. He gradually built his power base during his father's reign, in part due to his absence, making the two co-monarchs.
Considered by contemporaries to be a harsh yet effective king, Minas skillfully manipulated the various kings of the world in providing land for his empire. He had his first son, Socrates the Married, marry Veronica of Toleratos, then had special agents kill the other possible heirs to the throne of Toleratos, ensuring that his grandson would inherit the throne. Ælrid Wealddthof noted, "His sensible values for diplomacy and problem-solving through peace are quite obvious. Throughout his reign, he maintained order and stability. He extended Saxender rule into past the Hazelburth Falls and brought Toleratos firmly under the rule of the throne of Saxendia."
