Erza I was the 5th Master of the Palace since the 1830 Compromise until his death on the 1st of January, 1980. Erza Ozaxh Asxadli came to power on the May 14th in 1931, a week after his father, Ozaxh Baxhal Asxadli was assassinated. Erza I is considered to be the last authoritarian monarch reigning in Bahktar, considering that after his rule, due to the events of the Bahktaric Revolution which nearly broke out into revolt, his son, Pexadi I enacted democratic reform and also dissolved the Hellenic-Bahktaric Empire after negotiations with his Tarsan counterpart, Marcus II.
Erza I is looked upon by historians as a controversial figure. While some dislike him due to his authoritarian policies and lavish spending, some also support him for enacting a series of reforms called the Erza Decrees, which invested in education, medicine and infrastructure. Erza I is known to have been close friends with the monarch of Tarsas, Diocetus I, who he often played cards with and spent time with in Civitas Tarsae. His wife, X, is Diocetus I's sister.
