Mezentio of Algarve

Mezentio was the king of Algarve. His decision to take back the Duchy of Bari precipitated the Derlavaian War. Despite being badly outnumbered by the kingdoms of Forthweg, Valmiera, Jelgava, and Sibiu, Mezentio's armies subdued all of their enemies. Mezentio then turned westward, and initiated a war against Unkerlant.

Mezentio initiated the use of Kaunians to fuel his army's magic, ordering the deaths of thousands. His country used this method to attack the island country of Kuusamo in an attempt to keep them from entering the war. Instead, he insured their entrance.
