Early Life
Born in Reiko, Equila on 5 May 1170GD to noblemen Count Carolius Farus Mesolo. During his childhood, he was raised in the Equilos Culture and became patriotic to Equilos Nationality. His cousin, Haris Andrakos was a Equilos Patriot and revolutionary. Milos thought his actions were too radical and desired a more peaceful way to increase Equilos nationalism. Once he finished his general education, he asked his father, Carolius, to pay for his studies at the College of Administrators. This would be where Milos was able to form connections with popular military generals, judges, and government officials that would be useful in his effort of promoting Equilos nationalism. One of the people he had met at the College was a young Sarilivus Kolibus, a future General Marshal of Sotiras. After graduating from the college, Milos moved back to Equila to assist his cousin in spreading Equilos nationalism. Milos joined the Blue Hand of Aquila that Haris was the head of the organization and carried out robberies from caravans traveling between Paraskínia & the port town of Hikol. This alerted the provincial government of Equila and began hunting down the members of the Blue Hand, including Milos. Milos and his cousin hid in a log cabin for over 2 months to wait until the search parties cleared. During those 2 months, Milos thought that there would be better ways of getting Equilos nationalism into the courts of Solarius. In 1193, Milos left the Blue Hand and began working in the government offices in the Province capital, Paraskínia, and got in with forged documents to hide his connection with his cousin.
