Biography:
Erel Katsan (born October 6th, 1918) is an ex-Free Army fighter and barber from Ishkot, the capital city of the titular province and the largest city in the Vrashe region of Ikhan. During the Continuation War, in response to the deaths of his mother and father in bombing-raids undertaken by Ardian forces, he would join the newly-founded "Arashin Free Army", eventually earning the rank of Corporal in late-1941. He participated in the Battle of Etil-Katsa in 1942, during which time he performed actions which would, in later years, earn him the Star of Valour; notably, he worked to rescue sixteen Imperial soldiers who had been wounded in the fighting, this in spite of his own injuries at the time. Between 1942 and 1943, he was held prisoner by the Ardians, though he, alongside a few other members of the Free Army that were interred alongside him, would break out early in 1943. After this, he would return to fighting, going on to serve in the Ishkot Uprising of 1944. Only a few months after this, the Free Army would be disbanded with the last holdouts of Ardian forces in Ikhan being liquidated. Many joined the regular army afterwards, but not Erel. Rather, he would return home and begin work as a medical orderly in a local hospital. For him, the war was over, but it's shadow would continue to haunt him for many years to come.
Erel married Eira Katsan (née Kiret) in late 1944, a few months after the Free Army was disbanded. The young couple would have two children, Kiri (b. 1945) and Varen (b. 1952), though Erel would not be present in his daughter's first years of life. This was due to him being one of several thousands of former Free Army fighters who would be arrested by the Ikirist regime for "crimes against the State including attempting to foment insurrection and working in collaboration with foreign powers. He would not be given a fair trial and would be sentenced to life in prison without chance for parole. When the regime fell in 1951, after having served six years, he, alongside the surviving members of the Free Army, were given a pardon by the Imperial Government. Just a few years later, in 1956, he was awarded the Star of Valour for his service in the Battle of Etil-Katsa. Erel has subsequently attended events honoring the sacrifices made by the Free Army in the war and commemorating the end of the war every year that he has been able to. In 1990, he formally retired (though typically, one would retire by the age of 65, Erel has said that he felt it was his calling to continue to help those in need) from his job as an Orderly. In 2018, he turned 100 years old.
