Victor Luize de Arbaroya (born Novarius 7, 1969), more known as Victor Royal, is an Ignesian politician who is currently serving as the incumbent Axempavekhepe of Ignesia, and a former professional sportsman. Voted by the ISC as the greatest sportsman of all time, he is regarded as one of the most influential and prolific athletes in history. As one of, if not the most decorated sportsman in the world, he is known as a multi-sport athlete, playing professional basketball, ferrenball, association football, and baseball in a career that spanned around 28 years.
Born in Dazedoven, Hysante, he was orphaned a few years after his birth, and would emigrate to Ignesia after scout Pilippe Prince offered him to join the Hercan academy at age 8. At first, he played for Hercan's youth basketball team, but would establish himself as a multi-sports athlete during his time in the academy. This would attract the attention of the Nermesten national team, and would place him in their U19 squad at the very early age of 15. He would make his senior debut in basketball, association football, and ferrenball in 1986, in which he would carry the club to the Copano Igneziano final in his first year, and and an unprecendented quintuple the following year. He would also net rookie of the year awards in both basketball and ferrenball during his 1986 season, which broke many records for a rookie player.
He would then transfer to TC Vimicia in 1989, in order to "avoid the controversy surrounding Hercan (with Ilvane) and play for a club that does not exact favoritism amongst its teams" in a now famous interview at the Burvaba Youth Center, which was possibly attributed to Hercan coach Ifensa Lodergranze's refusal to let him play in the starting lineup of his basketball squad, instead presumably preferring Ignesian-born players instead of Royal, who was Hysante. He was a very influential person in the club and in Ignesia even at the age of 19, and would leave a large blow to Hercan's reputation. He would also debut in the AVB, in which his influence would help him demand a two-way player contract, which allowed him to play as both a pitcher and as a baseman.
Royal's football playing career would bring him an astounding 4 ISC Nation's Cups, 7 Copano Ignezianos, 5 Jugadoros, 10 Copano Campioens Ignezianos, 14 International Club Champions Cups, 15 Avanere-Vimicia Supecopanos, 5 Copano Interignezas, 6 Citycopanos, 6 Prexensacopas, 10 ISC Preseason Cups, and a record 11 ISC World Football Player Awards. After he left the Prima Vimicia football squad and joined Hysante side Roye Cereva, he would win most notably 6 Interchampion's Tournaments, 8 Ligesante titles, and 2 FSA titles with Venester CF. After retiring from the Nermesten national team in 1992 after the Incident at the Ilvanestros, Royal would be one of the main proponents for the reformation of the Ignesian national team, which was split in 1955. After the reformation, he became a part of the famous "Volleyballers" Ignesian national team side that won 3 Nations Cups and 5 Copano Vimiceyras. Victor Royal's other notable achievements include 10 Copano Imperialis titles and 7 Asvargas Awards in ferrenball, 15 IFB champion titles and 7 IFB Player of the Season in basketball, as well as 12 Vimiciano Copanos and 11 AVB MVPs during his baseball tenure at Prima Vimicia.
The first former professional sports player to become a head of state in history, Royal became involved in politics in 2017, when he joined the Vimician Union party, in which his good relations with former coach and then leader of the Vimician Union party Iosan Lexense allowing him to win the party's presidential election in 2018. He ran unsuccessfully for Premier Justice in the same year, losing to Noxarre E. Vercane by only a slim 2% margin. He would then run for the position of Axempavinkhi in 2020, winning against incumbent Deniel Schlavi in a landslide victory.
