Eranquino Tăncino

Eranquino Tăncino (born 20 April 1971) is a Caphirian politician and businessman. He is currently serving his first term as a Caphirian Senator and was previously involved in politics at the provincial level in his home province of Amarsia. He is also the founder and former Chief Executive of Effrasă, a luxury goods conglomerate.

Born into the Equite class, Tăncino enlisted in the Imperial Legion upon his 16th birthday with hopes to ensure eventual admittance into a private university. Almost immediately after completing Basic Military Training (BMT) in 1987, Tăncino's legion, Legio DCXLVII, was deployed to Audonia as part of a broader peacekeeping mission. In the summer of 1991, an IED was detonated during a routine patrol on the Zaclarian border which resulted in over a dozen casualties. This led to the Tel Hariya Conflict between The Legion and Alainfisal (English: The Separation), a militant Islamist group. The conflict lasted five years, over which Tăncino was awarded several commendations for acts of heroism and meritorious service in combat. He retired from active-duty in 1997 upon completing his mandatory lustrum.

As a civilian, Tăncino was given a Triumph and was given a full scholarship to Fortuna Institute, where he enrolled at the Montini School of Business. After graduating in 2001, Tăncino had the idea to create a group of luxury brands by acquiring brands with prestigious history that had fallen out of popularity. While in school, he had befriended the son of Aletonessio Mardichellesci, the founder of several luxury houses. Mardichellesci offered to sell one of his brands, Resevain, to Tăncino for a 25% equity stake in Tăncino's new business. By 2006, Tăncino had turned Resevain into one of the most popular fashion brands: he took high risks by hiring controversial creative directors for each season. Mardichellesci was impressed with Tăncino's business acumen and sold two more of his own brands, Disere and Azal. Mardichellesci was also instrumental in the acquisition of Vevame Atelier to Tăncino in 2009, when Tăncino created Effrasă as a conglomerate to manage his growing luxury empire. Today, Effrasă controls around 40 subsidiaries across five divisions - Fashion, Wines and Spirits, Perfumes, Watches and Jewelry, and Activities. Tăncino stepped down as Chief Executive in 2020 in order to run for Senator.
