Gervasii Orlov

Gervasii Orlov often known as Commander Gervasii is the current Osorrai Co-Chief of Staff, who leads the Osorrai High Command along with General Misha Mikhaylov. He is among the most powerful men in the country, dominating many functions of the army, and leading the neo-absolutist wing of the Osorrai government known as the Orlovists: Orlovists support the centralization of the state and greater monarchical power. He is noteworthy for his extreme right-wing views and patronage of various neo-fascist theorists. Orlov is often characterized as having a very strong firey and direct personality, often acting impulsively and without forethought. He has gained a reputation for being one of Osorra's most virulent homophobes despite being believed to have homosexual tendencies of his own. The figure has a very mixed reputation in Osorra, with many seeing him as a neo-fascist.

Orlov was born in 1955 to a military family in the small town of Pichari deep in the Osorrai rainforest. His father was believed to be a high-ranking general and his mother a researcher in the defense industry. He would have his early childhood education in Pichari, but when he reached 13 he was moved to a special high school for military officials in the capital of Cuzka. Some rumors have surfaced his mother was against this decision and divorced his father due to this, making Orlov close to his father and farther from his mother. He would get his teitary education at an Osorrai military academy where he would make connections with the so-called Pulque Drinkers - a group of students who called for changes to the Osorrai military doctrine and a more nationalistic political ideology. His connections would quickly secure him a rank as a Commander in a militarized infantry unit. Orlov would remain rather unknown until his unit achieved great successes in the Osorra-Tilenno War which along with the fall of the Davydov Clique saw him becoming a general in the 7th Army. The eventual ceasefire heavily tormented Orlov who fell into depression for a few years. He broke his first marriage with Andrea Afanasievna and a military official who worked with him alleged "he became violently drunk often". Rumor has it that Orlov would make connections with Osorrai mafia groups and nationalist gangsters during this period, believing that the communist government would always leave Osorra weak. He has denied such allegations.

Orlov would be a major participant within the July 12th Conspiracy which sought to coup the communist government and install a monarchist government. The coup plotters were successful however soon Orlov was locked out of the new government. His second wife - Syuzanna Morozova - was soon arrested on falsified charges, it is alleged she schemed against him during the formation of the new regime. Soon many high-ranking officials were assassinated in the chaotic flux that made up post-Communist Osorra allowing Orlov's allies to gain more influence and with the Beskonechnaya Noch Orlov was made the Co-Chief of Army Command when the. Orlov slowly ascended in power, working with Misha Mikhaylov to stop the insurgency. The two developed a mutual respect for each other fighting the insurgency. The two would take over the high command in 2005.

Since then Orlov and Misha have grown further apart, with Misha being more cooperative with liberal and democratic elements in the country and more open to cooperation with various native groups. When the Tsar died in 2014, the Osorrai state became a de facto diarchy under the two figures, both attempting to fight each other. The Orlovists see Osorrai as a nation-state with a rich history while Misha believes Osorra is a league of states within the intersection of Avalonia, Kesh, and Eastern Artemia. Orlov's alleged political allies include Klava Koroleva, Artem Grigorev, and Vasya Ilin.

Orlov military doctrine is believed to be that of fast-moving mobile formations who can achieve easy breakthroughs and use natural geography to their advantage as opposed to Mikhaylov's more traditional doctrines. He has used these tactics to various degrees during his various campaigns. His political allies have generally supported social conservatism and Ordoliberal policies, attempting to create a strong social-market economy and neocorpartism with the military at the helm as opposed to Misha's belief in dirgisme and Georgism.
