'''Magasevetus''' (''Juvano Ubalvano Baldolianti Tervarinus''; 22 November [[1873]] - 19 May [[1961]]) was a [[Caphirian]] statesman who reigned as [[Imperator of Caphiria]] for fifty-four years from [[1905]] to [[1959]]. During his reign, Magasevetus became a central figure in world events during the first half of the 20th century. He dominated domestic politics with his series of programs, public work projects, financial reforms, and regulations which helped bring Caphiria out of the worst economic crisis in its history. He spearheaded unprecedented federal legislation and took advantage of the Party of the Imperium and is responsible for transforming it from a farce into a political machine. He is responsible for helping to realign Caphirian politics and defined neoliberalism in [[Caphiria]]. During the early years of his reign, Magasevetus was incredibly popular and is widely considered to be one of the most important figures in modern Caphirian history, though he has been subject to substantial criticism, most notably for his critical role in the [[Great War]]. | '''Magasevetus''' (''Juvano Ubalvano Baldolianti Tervarinus''; 22 November [[1873]] - 19 May [[1961]]) was a [[Caphirian]] statesman who reigned as [[Imperator of Caphiria]] for fifty-four years from [[1905]] to [[1959]].

Magasevetus' appointment of [[Galdo Bertocca]] in [[1930]] led to the rise of Caphiric Fascism and greatly contributed to the global unpopularity of [[Caphiria]] during the 20th century. His reign was also marked by political purges in proscriptions and was known to seize power by force and contributed to a destabilized power structure. After a series of unsuccessful conquests, Magasevetus became ill and increasingly relied on Bertocca to advise him. This allowed Bertocca to wield immense power and influence. After removing all political opposition through his secret police, Bertocca and his followers consolidated their power through a series of laws that transformed the nation into a totalitarian state. By the time Magasevetus had fully recovered and was attempting to remove Bertocca from power, he had already established dictatorial authority by both legal and extraordinary means. This led to a civil conflict that overlapped with the Great War and ended with Magasevetus regaining power and removing Bertocca and his followers from power. After the Great War, Magasevetus exiled Bertocca but had him executed during the [[1959 Christmas Massacres | Magasevetus' appointment of [[Galdo Bertocca]] in [[1930]] led to the rise of [[Caphiric Fascism]] and greatly contributed to the global unpopularity of [[Caphiria]] during the 20th century.

Magasevetus abdicated the following year in [[1960]] in favor of his son Magasevetus II in hopes to strengthen the country post-war. Following his abdication, Magasevetus went into self-exile in the [[Escal Isles]] to avoid being prosecuted for war crimes. He died less than a year after in [[1961]]. He was posthumously tried and convicted of war crimes in the late 1970s and his remains were moved to Venceia in [[1985]]. | |||

Juvano Ubalvano Baldolianti was born in Augsustanis, the capital of the Province of Caseni on 22 November [[1873]]. The House of Tervarinus was relatively new and did not carry the weight and prestige of other house names, but his father Erassinico Iseli had become highly influential during the reign of Arieri II and had gained the favor and trust of the Imperator. This led to a rapid rise through the aristocracy and nobility for House Tervarinus; as an expression of his gratitude Arieri II gave Iseli 30 acres of land to construct his own estate. | Juvano Ubalvano Baldolianti was born in Augsustanis, the capital of the Province of Caseni on 22 November [[1873]].
