King John
King John of the House of Lupul is the reigning monarch of Talossa. Following the abdication of King Louis of the House of Rouergue in 2006/XXVII, by decision of his legal guardians, a nationwide election was held, and John Woolley was installed as the first sovereign of a new dynasty on March 14th, 2007/XXVIII.
The official title of the King is John by the Grace of God, King of Talossa and of all its Realms and Regions, King of Cézembre, Sovereign Lord and Protector of Pengöpäts and the New Falklands, Defender of the Faith, Leader of the Armed Forces, Viceroy of Hoxha and Vicar of Atatürk.
King John has been a Talossan citizen since 2005.
When King Robert I abdicated, leaving the post of Secretary of State vacant, and with Prime Minister Cantalour also renouncing his citizenship, the Uppermost Court instructed Distain Xhorxh Asmour to act as Seneschal and appoint a new Secretary of State so that elections to the 36th Cosa could proceed. When the Distain failed to act by the court-appointed deadline, the Court, in its capacity as Council of Regency for the vacated throne, appointed Fritz von Buchholtz as Seneschal, and the new Prime Minister appointed John to the post of Secretary of State. There he served as what has been widely pronounced as one of the most able of Secretaries of State, updating the Clark and its distribution methods, and scrupulously attending to the duties of his office, until his elevation to the throne.
Before assuming the throne, His Majesty also served as a Senator for his beloved home province of Florencia, as Chancellor of the Royal Talossan Bar, and was the first holder of the position of Blanc Wolf Herald in the Royal College of Arms. King John was awarded the coveted Order of the Nation and was admitted into the Knighthood in 2005.
