Vikhus Drakon

Khan Vikhus Drakon [RBX: Vikhus] was born in 1827 near Mt Khan Tengri.

He is the current Khan of the Kazakh Khanate. His current residence is the Tauke palace in the new capital of Almaty.

The Khan's reign has been known so far for the internal instability of the nation caused by the Russian infiltration of the Kazakh nobility and their attempts to destablize the region, made worse by the previous Khan Kenesary whose failed war of resistance against the Russian state has lead to the Kazakh State to be reduced to little more then a vassal of the Russian State.

The Khan in his attempts to restore the Khanate to its former glory has faced hard opposition from the many tribes living in the Khanate, a inablity for the three Zhuz's to form a unified foreign policy in regard to the Russians that is further compounded by the religious tensions in the region caused between the influex of Christians from the Russian Empire, the majority Muslims in Kazakhstan and the few Tengrist's left in the region.

The new Khan has sought a reactionary path to restoring the Khanate in opposition to the liberal ideas spreading across the world.

Early Life
Vikhus Drakon was born in 1827 in a village near Mt Khan Tengri, his father being a horseman under the Jangir Khan. Vikhus Drakon spent the first half of his early life learning from several locally exceptional Imam and a nearby school the cost for which was paid for by the local Imam and donations from the Zakat, the early charity of others in the Khan's life has lead to him living a rather Ascetic life for a ruler in the 19th century.

The second half of his early life was spent in the rough mountains of south Kazakh as part of the Kenesary Khan's calvary fighting against the Russians occupying the Kazakh Tribes.

Rise to power in Kazakh and Resistance
1853 CE.

The Khan
Although Vikhus Drakon was now Khan of the Kazakh people the wars by the previous Khan and Russian invasion had left the Khanate devastated and many internal clan wars were tearing the nation apart. The Khan was all but reduced to a puppet of the Russian Empire.
