Born as Charles Alexander of [[Vasa | Zor-Mako-Vasa-Nassau]], he was born as a direct descendent of the famous [[Alexander Vasa | Prime Minister Sir Alexander, the 1st Viscount Lochland]], and of [[Constantine IV Mako]], who he never actually met. Charles Alexander did not expect to ever become the monarch of New Sarovia due to being a member of an external branch of the family, and joining Sarovia as a friend of the Prime Minister. As such, he decided against joining the Imperial Army on the English side and instead commissioned as a Lieutenant in the Empire of Sacro, a Portuguese Vasa realm, to fight against Imperia in the Imperian Campaigns. This decision was approved and endorsed by the Prime Minister as a way to unite the two languages and their cultures.
 
Charles Alexander fought in numerous battles in the Imperian Campaigns, such as Poltava, Sorrel and the Homeland Reconquest in May of the year. He was injured in two separate battles, as well as leading a successful attack in Sorrel which resulted in a Sarovian victory. During the Campaigns, he was granted an honorary colonelcy in the Sovereign’s Battalion in the predecessor of the [[Royal Sarholm Regiment]] due to his connections, and was greatly involved with it, though never fought alongside it in an official capacity. As Honourary Colonel, he attended a few parades and oversaw increased proficency of the unit in battle. He witnessed the crisis of [[ConstantineFrancis VIII Vasa-Nassau | Constantine VII]], the Abdication Crisis by the pretender Constantine VIII, the collapse of federal Sarovia and the emergence of the Reuss and Sacro commonwealths. Charles Alexander was originally offered the throne of the Reuss Commonwealth, but he did his best to try to avoid the Commonwealths from officially forming. He declined, himself a staunch Sarovian nationalist. His younger brother, Edward, accepted the throne from the Assembly of Peers. As King [[Edward II Vasa]] began reigning in Reuss, he joined as an aide-de-camp to his war council, ranked as Colonel Charles Alexander, Aide-de-Camp.
