Rudolf I

Rudolf I is the reigning King of Brandenburg-Saxony and an Elector of the Holy Roman Empire.

Early Life
Rudolf was born to an impoverished noble family, the descendants of the Kings of Saxony, as the oldest son, making him heir to the title. His mother worked as a weaver, and his father a tailor. His house name was Abel, purely because one of his ancestors only has girls, and the name had not carried on.. He had one brother, Adolf, whom died of cholera in 1851. He, in pure wanderlust and search for glory, would join the Prussian army where he was mainly just an infantry soldier, reaching only to staff sergeant, before the army would be crushed by socialist rebels.

Command of the I Legion
Upon the death of Wilhelm I of Prussia, the throne passed to his nephew, Kaiser Ferdinand IV. However, a group of Prussian Socialists seized Berlin and set up the "The Republic of North Germany" and began a reign of terror. He than left the Prussian army for the Imperial army. Being as his nobility was able to be confirmed to be that of a Wettin, he was risen from staff sergeant to first lieutenant, continuing to rise the ranks from his service in the drawn out wars of north German independence. Rudolf was dispatched in the I and IV Legions, now a Brigadier general from his prestige at tactical skirmishes and decision making. As most of the general staff had been killed in a very successful artillery barrage, Rudolf, now with his chest plate dented, and his jacket torn, he successfully led the charge into Berlin, circumnavigating around the town, reaching their artillery, capturing their supplies and control center, defeating and taking prisoner the rebel leaders. For his valor in battle, he was awarded the Electorate of Brandenburg-Saxony over his many cousins whom, some still bore the name Wettin. After his appointment of Elector and King of Brandenburg-Saxony, his line was re-adopted back into the house of Wettin, giving him the legitimacy for his reign.

Regent
During the severe illness of Ferdinand IV for several months, Rudolf served as Regent of the Holy Roman Empire. He led his great modernization plan through all the planning committees he could, establishing a trans-Germanic railway system, and building necessary factories to allow for greater expansion, such as lumber and steel. He successfully placated the french from attacking for many years, creating non-aggression pacts to only open up one front of possible warfare, and creating strategic alliances. These alliances would eventually result in the formation of The Holy Imperial league, a set of nations devoted to keeping the ideals, and values of old from being dissolved by socialists or Marxists.
