Vilvo Orbraggar was a Drevstranese military leader, nationalist politician, and revolutionary who served first as a Warlord during the Drevstranese Civil War and then as the foundator and leader of the First Mervoshia until his resignation in 1941.

Born in the Mrengrave, in western Drevstran, Orbraggar was a Major-General of the Triple Crown's Army when Hortankh Bolsar launched his coup and deposed the monarchy. Despite the two men cordial relations before the civil war, Orbraggar would remain unaffiliated to the Bolsarist faction and instead became a Warlord, gaining control over most of the Furodommark. At first considering the option, he ended up refusing to support Ansmar II ill-fated attempt to return to the throne, instead becoming a staunch supporter of the country's provincial parliaments as the sole holders of public legitimacy. After his victory in the civil war, Orbraggar and the parliaments established the modern republic of Drevstran, with Orbraggar as its first leader under the title of "Mayor of the Palace".

As leader of Drevstran, Orbraggar was the instigator of profound political and economic reforms, developing the industrialisation of the country and its attractivity for foreign investors. He also introduced the foundations for a democratic regime, even if it wouldn't go further because of his and his successor's grasp on the system until the Black Streets Days.

He served three mandates of seven years as Mervoret given that his party, Yednosc! had completely taken over the electoral process. But in 1941, he decided against presenting himself for a new mandate and decided to retire from politics at the age of 86 because of health concerns. He would die two years later of an aneurysm.
