Early life and reign
Chaburteen was born in the County of Ambreux in Helderia with unknown parents. Contemporary genealogies list him as being the great-grandson of Napoleon VI. However, no other records mention any additional children of the Gollic monarch besides Napoleon VII. Regardless, the future king was placed into the care of Karl I as an infant, after which he grew in wealth and purchased estates from nobles. Chaburteen narrowly survived the Second Gollic Plague, leaving him crippled. When Karl died childless in 1217, the succession of the Heldic throne became contested. Chaburteen sent his wife to attempt to encourage recognition of himself as the rightful king. After the failed attempts, Chaburteen marched to Figerbuun and cut off all trade, forcing the nobles to elect him King of Helderia.
Chaburteen had to intervene in the east immediately following his election. His brother, Romano Charpentier temporarily seized control of eastern possessions following the news of the coronation of the king. Chaburteen quickly crossed the Champéneux and met Romano at Althause. An agreement was reached by the two siblings, under which Romano would surrender all of his possessions in return for protection. However, Chaburteen breached the agreement and imprisoned his brother.
On Chaburteen's return, the king fabricated the epithet the Peaceful in order to achieve higher local popularity. His decision was met with opposition from a wide range of nobles, who pointed out the hypocrism. Chaburteen held his first royal feast in 1222. A number of influential counts attended, as well as councillors. Chaburteen issued a charter declaring his right to absolute rule, and subsequently killed the guests in the deadliest non-military massacre in Trihhimic history until four centuries later. Immediately after, the king orchestrated plans to seize control estates.
Following the murder, the king was captured by his wife Orlîân Bon and imprisoned in the Tower of Ambreux. The queen convinced the king to grant their second son, Lüdwig I, a realm upon Chaburteen's death in return for his release. Chaburteen, however, soon changed his opinion, and spent the next decade at war with his wife and, later, Lüdwig. The king would alternately hold tight control over the kingdom and be banished to Searenland.
