Kaspar Sansinger

Born: April 24, 1773

The history of 19th-century Cabralia was shaped by many great names, but rising above them all are a triumvirate that have gone down in history as the Three Wise Men. First among them, in both chronological and conventional order, is Kaspar Sansinger - military leader in the Cabralian War of Independency, statesman, and ultimately architect of the Grand Principality's descent into monarchism. This is his story.

A brief biography of Kaspar Sansinger

I don't know an enormous amount about Kaspar Sansinger, but here's what I do know: Kaspar is born on April 24, 1773 [for mostly astrological reasons.]

• Kaspar's parents were ethnic Prussians, displaced from their homes [where?] after Pomerania was reduced. They didn't pass on the language; he grew up bilingual, speaking Platt with friends and family [who?] and Portuguese in the wider community. [where?]
• The Güntherite diaspora was known for being fighters. The Sansinger family was no different; Kaspar became a naval officer, eventually leading to his assignment to Cabralia. [where?]
• Cabralian independency: I have absolutely no idea where it came from, but it happened, and Kaspar Sansinger became a major figure in it. [details?]

S. Sansinger, Princeps Senatus: Immediately after independence, plebeian Cabralia hashed out how to govern itself. Republicanism on that scale was a fairly new concept (and some of the Cabralian founding fathers [who?] were titled aristocracy); Kaspar Sansinger eventually wound up being nominated as Princeps Senatus, "Prince of the Senate."

• Kaspar serves out his term without incident, and is succeeded by a few weaker princes. [details?]
• This leads to the Balthazarist Mutiny, which sees Balthazar killed and Kaspar back in the Palace of the Principality.
• After some other events hereabouts, Kaspar is nominated as Prince for life.

In 1830, Kaspar's wife [who?] dies in childbirth, setting in motion the disaster that wracks the continent during the Burning Thirties.

• In 1831, he meets G.Pa. Maria Teresa of Mexico and her daughter [who?], a pretty young thing that he instantly falls for. He seduces her effortlessly, and they marry in 1833.
• Mrs. Kaspar Sansinger bears him a son in 1834, reported in Mexico as "heir of the Grand Prince," which instantly starts an argument about what that means.

There's more to write too, but I'm not sure how much more. That's why...

This is a work in progress. It will be expanded upon.
