Bronislav II (born Bronislav Miroslavsky Tukatov, 1982 September 10) is the Emperor of Zesmynia since 2019.
Bronislav was largely unknown, serving as a pilot and later officer in the Imperial Zesmynian Army air force beginning in 2002, although his marriage with Elis of Katranjiev in the same year temporarily put him into the media spotlight. However, beginning in 2014, he was seen frequently with not only his father Emperor Miroslav, but also various powerful figures of the nobility including ???, in public events, leading to speculations of him being groomed for potential succession. Commentators believe that Miroslav and noble factions were steadily distrustful of Budislav, his elder brother and at-time crown prince, turning to Bronislav instead. This was affirmed in the 2015 Nasivasko scandal where Budislav was disgraced due to his involvement and Bronislav officially named as crown prince.
Bronislav steadily rose to become an influential and well-connected, if not explicitly powerful, figure in Zesmynian politics. Analysts describe him as not explicitly taking the side of any faction, or indeed being overly reliant on connections with any particular figures at all, and also consider him 'friendly with all other major actors'. He has significant influence in the military, holding general officer-level ranks since 2015, and was named to the Air Force general staff in 2017; the military is considered his main pillar of support.
In the 2019 Zesmynian crisis Bronislav ordered a decisive action from the IZA to stabilize the situation in wake of the chaos caused by the April 3 cyberattacks. He then became part of the troika heading a junta that governed the country with extraordinary powers formed on April 23, alongside Gang Rayrukwak and Sokol Lajanov, Duke of Žop. After Miroslav III's death in August, he succeeded the throne, which was viewed as having cemented the power of Lajanov's faction over Zesmynia.
