Khyar Aziouel is a military officer and political leader serving as the first Amizar of the Republic of Charnea. He served in the Charnean Army for 24 years, including a 9 year period as an officer of the Desert Rangers, later becoming one of the founding members of the Murab Kubalt dissident faction within the military. As a Murab Kubalt leader, he would go on to play a pivotal role in the military uprising phase of the Republican Muttay and the overthrow of the Charnean Imperial government, bearing much of the blame for the ensuing post-Muttay crises. Khyar was considered an unlikely candidate for political office due to his divisive reputation and uncharismatic manner, and was therefore relegated to a minor posting in the Provisional Military Government charged with restoring civil order in the Charnean capital Agnannet. In this posting, he gained a more positive reputation for restoring a sense of law and order in the wake of the Muttay's lawlessness, publicly shaming and dismissing several officers of the widely reviled Agnannet Police, and later being asked to intervene in negotiations with some of Charnea's major economic combines. During the emergency elections in September, Khyar managed to stay in the running during the first round of the Amizarate elections and narrowly secure a majority in the second round of voting, much to the surprise of his rivals and the general public alike. Khyar Aziouel assumed office as the first democratically elected head of state in Charnean history on October 1st, 2023, promising to reform the Charnean justice system and law the foundations for a stable future government of the Republic.
Early life
Khyar was born on the 29th of September 1983 in the maternity ward of Alla military hospital outside of Azut into a large Kel Ajama family. His father and one of his older brothers would die shortly after his birth in the Ninvite War during the fearsome urban fighting in Hamath, which would also leave another of Khyar's brothers with lifelong debilitating injuries. Khyar was therefore influenced mostly by his mother, Hariza Aziouel, who assumed control as de facto head of the family after her husband's death. Like many nomad Ajamite families in the wake of the Ninvite War, Khyar's family suffered from severe poverty following the deaths of the primary earners in the family during the war, forcing Hariza Aziouel and her remaining 5 children to resort to any available means of securing income in order to survive. Khyar himself was involved with criminal elements as a boy, doing work for local elements of the Charnean mafia in order to earn for the family.
The hardships Khyar suffered in his youth would color his outlook later in life, particularly poisoning his view of the Madounist government of Charnea and the high leadership of the military. This was a common sentiment among nomads in that era, who felt that the military had abandoned them without a means of survival after getting their male family members killed in the war. Khyar's particular disdain for Charnea's criminal elements is also though to find its roots in his experiences as a young man involved in these same enterprises.
Military career
At the age of 16, Khyar presented himself for military service in the Charnean Army despite his misgivings, as doing so would allow him to send money home to Hariza and his three sisters and leave his mother with one less mouth to feed.
