Prince Andosh III (born 7th September, 1973) is the current Prince of Simendosa. He is the second-born son of Prince Togares and Princess Omira. On the 27th of January, 2008 he was made Crown Prince by his father Prince Togares at the age of 34 after his older brother, Prince Paglanthe announced that he had no interest in ascending to the Principate. He became the Prince of Simendosa on the 4th of March, 2012 following the death of his father, and was formally coronated on the 28th of March, 2012. He is both a widely respected and controversial figure in the Dorian-speaking world and within the Southern Furukuran Sea region. Due to the Principality's strict lèse-majesté laws, it is nearly impossible for Simendosan citizens to criticize his rule, however among his subjects, he remains one of the most popular Simendosan monarchs in history.
Early Life
Childhood
Yesha Togares Eigante Andosh Enrikhona Simendo was born at 13:56 (FST) on the 7th of September, 1973 at the Princess Telsiyu Royal Hospital during the reign of his father, Prince Togares. He was born as the second eldest of Prince Togares and Princess Omira's four children following his elder brother, Paglanthe (born 12th May, 1965.) At the time Andosh was second in line for the Principate, following his older brother and upon birth was granted the title of Prince Non-Regnant as his brother was Crown Prince. Although Yesha was destined to be a lesser Prince both his parents ensured that he'd be educated to a standard as equal as his elder brother. In his childhood, he was often very quiet and shy as opposed to Paglanthe's more extroverted character. According to his mother, Andosh practically buried himself in books and boasted that he could read several books over the course of a day. When Andosh wasn't reading, he took to hiking and tinkering with electronics, eventually getting a personal computer to play around with in his teenage years. The general interest in computers drew the attention of the future Sultan of Potomiak, and the two teenagers became friends with one another. In 1983 one of the most formative events in Andosh's life happened, the Simendosan Emergency saw a communist coup d'etat force the royal family out of Simendosa and to Guadalupador for a period of several months. The events of the Simendosan Emergency later shaped Andosh's worldview on governance and representation of people in government as a whole.
Young Adulthood
Andosh served in the Simendosan Navy as soon as he ended his primary school education at the age of 18 and trained to become a helicopter pilot and was cleared to fly SH-3 Sea King helicopters for anti-submarine warfare, and anti-piracy missions by the age of 21. He ended his military service after his 4 year Compulsory Military Service term ended at the rank of Lieutenant. Following his military service he attended the University of Nosamo in Guadalupador where he majored in Diaspora Studies and minored in Political Science. Andosh then returned to Simendosa in 1999 and continued his education at the Royal University of Simendosa obtaining a Masters Degree in Regional History in 2004.
Marriage
During his time in the service of the Simendosan Navy he had a previous relationship with the Potomiakian Princess Kartika, but the two split up on amicable terms after Andosh left the Navy. While studying at the University of Nosamo in his undergraduate years Andosh met the Guadalupadorian commoner Mariana Gasur and the two started a relationship. The two became infatuated with one another shortly after meeting and started living with one another in a Nosamo apartment off-campus. Upon returning to Simendosa Andosh brought Gasur to meet his parents, and announced his intent to marry her. Both Prince Togares and Princess Omira wholeheartedly approved of Mariana and the two wed at a private ceremony on the 31st of July, 2000 while Gasur was seven months pregnant with their first child, Eigante.
Ascension to Crown Prince
In October of 2007, Crown Prince Paglanthe privately started to reconsider his position as prospective head-of-state and met with Prince Togares on several occasions about possibly relinquishing his right to the throne, citing issues with stress and a general unwillingness to ascend to the throne upon his father's death. By December 2007 Togares respected his eldest son's request and the two recalled Andosh back to Simendosa whom was teaching a course at the University of Nosamo to speak to him about ascending to become Crown Prince after Paglanthe steps down. Andosh was initially taken aback by Togares and Paglanthe's plan but accepted the position and was officially deemed Crown Prince of Simendosa on the 27th of January, 2008.
Reign
Ascension to the throne
In January of 2012, Prince Togares experienced a stroke while in the royal gardens and was rushed to the hospital but was nearly unresponsive as he drifted into a coma. Prince Andosh, who had been teaching at the University of Nosamo at the time canceled his classes for the remainder of the semester and rushed back home upon hearing of his father's stroke. In mid-February, Togares gradually emerged from his coma but lost his eyesight. On the 4th of March, at 14:34 Prince Togares was beset with another stroke and died within several minutes at the Princess Telsiyu Royal Hospital. Upon the death of Prince Togares, Andosh prepared and sent a letter to the Prime Minister informing him of his father's passing and that he would officially ascend to the Principate as Prince Andosh III. On the evening of the 4th, Andosh addressed the Principality for the first time on television, declaring a week-long period of mourning for his late father and formally introducing himself as Prince Andosh III to his subjects.
