'''Prince Alexander Vasa''', the 1st Viscount Lochland Alexander Vasa
▲'''Prince Alexander Vasa, the 1st Viscount Lochland Alexander Vasa''' (born Prince Royal, Alexander Zor-Mako-Vasa) was a member of the Imperial House of Vasa. A descendant of [[Constantine IV Mako]] through Consantine IV's second's son, Prince Royal, Arthur, he was technically cousins to [[Carolus XII Vasa]] and [[Constantine VI & I Vasa]] though never met them, having joined in the reign of [[William I Vasa]]. Alexander was an experienced soldier, diplomat and a shrewd politician who was a profound and public anti-Unionist in the Saro-Oxerian Union, which gained him fame and renown amongst the youth of the Sarovian country. After the dissolution of the Union which Alexander campaigned for, he became a political outcast due to the wrath of Willima I. Alexander's fortunes would turn upon the ascension of [[Brianna I Vasa-Nassau]] which allowed and enabled him to rise to power once more, establishing a new Sarovian constitution and positioning himself as an autocratic Prime Minister who laid the foundation for the modern Sarovian state.
Modern perception of Alexander is rather varied, though he is seen and often ranked as one of the best Prime Ministers of the New Sarovian Empire and one of the most talented politicians to ever exist. These perceptions are often countered by claims of autocratic and dictatorial behaviour, citing his nine Stefanic years of near absolute control over the Empress Brianna, culminating in his Regency in the last months of her reign. Alexander was a staunch conservative traditionalist, and harboured extensive autocratic natures. He was known to neutralise dissent and "disappear" Sarovians who disagreed with him, leading to many liberal Sarovians denouncing his actions while also simultaneously acknowledging his benefit to the Sarovian nation. Likewise, he also is known as "Alexander the Kingmaker" for his actions cementing [[George I Vasa-Nassau]] on the Sarovian throne, continuing his Regency until his death.

=== Rise to Power ===
In the first Stefanic year of the Empress Brianna's reign, the political scene was relatively chaotic. Four factions vyed for power over the young, impressionable Empress. There were the Constantists or Zaclites, the monarchists, the Sacroytes and the pacifists. The Constantists were usually aristocrats or
Alexander aligned himselves with the monarchists and quickly was allowed back into court by the Empress Brianna, who was seeking new allies in any shape or colour. Alexander quickly found himself back into his natural element and assembled a coalition known as the Monarchist Party of New Sarovia, which he led. The Sarovian parliament (known as the Chamber) at the time was still dissolved by the Empress. Political agitators on all sides of the spectrum had been calling for an actual written Sarovian constitution, with Sacroytes wanting to control the Empress and the Constantists wanted to write the Empress' out of the line of succession. Alexander took it upon himself to write the original Sarovian constitution, which was wildly denounced by all sides other than the monarchists. Pacifist leader Athena, seen as a pushover by the Sacroytes and Constantists, was propped up as a coalition figurehead to reject the Constitution. Alexander convinced the Empress to unilaterally decree the Constitution into existence, which occurred in September 2019 (261 AS). The pacifist-Sacroyte-Constantist coalition ran as a combined party known as the Democratic Party, arguing in bad faith that the Constitution should be written and voted on by the people. Alexander ran for Prime Minister and narrowly won the election with a 50/50 split, but managed to fortunately control the Speaker of the Assembly, which enabled him to ram through legislation.
