'''Joseph Charles Constantine Zor-Mako''' (regnal name: Constantine V Zor-Mako-Vasa) was the King of the Sarovians from his reign beginning in 227 AS when he was coronated to 232 AS when he died and disappeared from Graal after the disasterous first Saro-Aurean War. Constantine V was known as an abysmal commander and politician, who got by through using the advice of his ministers and deputies to run the country. Constantine V was an avid intellectual and possessed good book smarts, but not in the art of war or governing. Despite being the King and Emperor for longer than most of his predecessors, the reign of Constantine V is relatively minor in comparison to the actions in his successors. Many people refer to him as the "Constantine the Bold", or even more crudely, "Constantine the Bad", over his failure.

Line 28 ⟶ 33:
Joseph Charles would be coronated in early 228 and take the name of his father as '''Constantine V'''. Despite the low turnout of the coronation itself, the event was remarkably lavish and showed signs that a potential Sarovian resurgence could be possible, now with the Aurean Empire expanding into Estos after the Sarovians won battles in Ostos prior. Constantine V was initially reluctant to take on the duties of the state, appointing James Zor and Grizz Regium as Counsellors of State, and vacationed. Here, the two Counsellors of State did as much as they could to bring the empire back, such as recruitment, passing a flurry of laws and more. The most important was the refunding of the Imperial Guard who donned unique scarlet tunics in comparison to the usual brown at the time period. Constantine V was satisfied with their performance and married Tsubaki Kaine, whom he also made a Counsellor of State. The three Counsellors began to quickly feud with each other and, by 230, all three resigned in disgust, forcing Constantine V to take back the reins of the country.
Constantine V, while reluctantly in charge, still relied on the crutches of his former Counsellors. It was rumoured that if you needed anything within New Sarovia, that it would only be a favour away not to the King
-Emperor but his wife or James Zor, who left halfway through Constantine V's reign. Constantine V despite his faults was keenly interested in Sarovia's future. Here, he had two sons in the House of Vasa: Charles and Frederick, who were very different individuals. Carolus was impatient and lacklustre in his eyes, and Constantine V preferred Frederick. He secretly invested him as the Prince of Kiev, and declared his intention to his advisors that he would succeed him and not Charles.
