Tshakfarhch

Tshakfarhch, officially Baron Tshakfarhch of Lhasrhatshak (8 June 2230 to 29 January 2328), was a Volkar statesman, philosopher, and nobleman who served as Prime Minister of House Lishval for 62 years from 2266 until his death in 2328.

One of the most prominent political figures in the Volkar Stellar Imperium during the post-conquest era, Tshakfarhch is considered to be one of the most important statesmen in Volkar history. He orchestrated the independence of House Lishval from House Ukna as one of his first acts, and later oversaw the rise of Lishval's economic and political influence during the Volkar Civil War and the subsequent Era of Peace. His death left House Lishval in a tenuous position just before the outbreak of the Volkar Revolution in 2328.

Unknown to most outsiders, near the end of his life, Tshakfarhch came to the conclusion that the Volkar imperial system was doomed to fail, and so decided to orchestrate an ending to it. Over the last three years of his life, he planned the use of Lishval strike teams to infiltrate the Imperial Palace on Kavalk and the Ducal Palace on Lishval, to ensure the outbreak of large-scale revolution among the people and the collapse of the local governments of the two Volkar core worlds. He intended the following chaos to lead to political change in Volkar society.

Mere weeks following his death, his plans were carried out to great success, sparking the Volkar Revolution, the subsequent Revolutionary Wars, and the eventual collapse of the Stellar Imperium and foundation of the Volkar Stellar Commonwealth.
