Theodora Aida Muratian (born 22 February 1972) is a former general of the Ruvelkan Imperial Army known for commanding the 28th Army during the Siege of Aszód. Cut off from reinforcements, but refusing to surrender, Theodora’s actions contributed to the Syaran decision to keep their XXV corp in place and thereby inadvertently assisting in the Ruvelkan success during Operation Sagaris.

Born in Mátészalka to a family of fishers, Theodora originally aspired to become an officer in the Ruvelkan Imperial Navy but eventually changed her mind after her brother joined the 30th Mountain Division. She later aspired to follow in his footsteps, going on to join the Army as part of the 388th Infantry Division and then the 5th Mountain Division. An avid survivalist, Theodara made a name for herself as a pathfinder and reconnaissance officer.

In 2005, she was later transferred south to the Aszód District having attained the rank of Brigade-General and taking command of the 34th Infantry Division before later being transferred to command the 6th Mountain Division at the onset of the Imerti Conflict. Although initially planned to deploy to Imerti, the 6th Mountain Division did not see action before the end of the conflict.

In the time period leading up to the Zemplen War, Theodora was promoted to Lead Guard-Major by Tibor Fehér and given command of the 28th Army in Aszód. Theodora was initially tasked to support Ruvelkans in Albertirsa, but after the Syarans crossed the border she was later ordered to hold Aszód. In early 2009, she found her forces cut off from the rest of Army Group South as a result of Operation Synaspismos and she ordered her forces to dig in. She refused to surrender and remained in command of Ruvelkan forces in Aszód for the remainder of the war.

Theodora retired from the military in 2012 and, despite being hailed as a hero, has refused to accept any accolades for her actions. She became a strong proponent of the reconciliationist movement and was a vocal supporter of Chancellor Molnár moves to re-establish bilateral relations with Syara. Post-war analysis of her performance recognized Theodara’s capability as a charismatic leader, but was never fully proven in battle.

In 2015, Theodora met with Zaharinka Mitrovska, the former Syaran general who commanded the XXXV Corps of the Syaran National Army during the war.
