Biography
Early Life
Mao was the grandson of Great King Mao Lee Zendong XVI of Zhengguo, an eastern power. His mother married Carolus XIII in 330 SA, few years after the death of his first wife. According to longstanding Sarovian traditions and customs, Mao was named after three relatives - Mao after his mother's father Great King Mao Lee Zendong XVI of Zhengguo, Carolus after his father, and Constantine after Constantine IX Vasa. In 335 and 337, he was given further names as per Sarovian traditions. His full name was Maolus Carolus Consteynnos Alffo Albaros Ioan eui Zendong-Vasa (Mao Carolus Constantine Alfonso Albert John of Zendong-Vasa). Maolus I became Great King Mao XVII Zendong-Vasa of Zhengguo in 350, following his grandfather's death, at which he left Sarovia for Zhengguo, although he did not renounce the Sarovian citizenship.
During a terrorist attack in 352 SA, two of his three brothers were killed, moving him from fourth to second in the line. In late 356, his father Carolus XIII Vasa was declared dead, resulting in his brother Andrei I becoming the King of the Sarovians and Emperor of the Sarovian Commonwealth, for a short while before the terrorists seized the capital and killed him (357 SA). In May 19th 362, after successfully defeating the last resisting forces of the People's Communist Republic of Sarovia, he was finally crowned King of the Sarovians and Emperor of the Sarovian Commonwealth.

The House of Vasa officially declared his brother Andrei passing at 11:51 PM on the same day by a press release in all Realms through Sarovian Pathe, at which Mao promptly decided to return to the Empire and fight against the communist rebels.
