Balash I

Balash I (b. June 19, 3536) is the Hirinid monarch of the Shadhom of Aldegar. He has served in that post since September 12, 3547 when the Consultative Council appointed him.

Life
Padishah Balash was born to Mobad Kamran and his wife Noor Eftekhari. His father was a member of the influential Hirini clan while his mother was the daughter of a wealthy corproate lawyer. The family lived in some wealth with Kamran being a high ranknig Mobad while his wife was the sole heiress of the  Eftekhari fortune. Young Balash attended the North Aldegaria School Of Fire, a religious school but failed to do well due to excessive laziness. MobadAamran died sometime in the winter of 3545 when Balash was about nine.

Becoming the Padishah
The military coup of January 3547 by Balash's ambitious second cousin Major Gen. Peroz Hirini brought young Balash to the throne as the Majlis proclaimed the Hirinids the royal family of the realm and chose the young Hirinid, fearing the ambitions of the major General. Balash was enthroned in September 3547 at the age of 11, after many months of delibaration by the Council. Peroz hirini became his Regent and also married the new Padishah's mother Noor thus strengthening his grip on the throne.
