Uleris Chavar

Uleris Chavar was the Lord Chancellor of the Ethuveraz at the end of the reign of Varenechibel IV and the start of the reign of Edrehasivar VII. He was the brother of the Viscount Chavel and the father of Nurevis Chavar. He was removed from his position and relegated to his family estate after taking part in an attempted coup against Edrehasivar VII.

Appearance
Uleris “was short and stocky by elven standards, choleric”. Uleris was of an age with Setheris Nelar, who was middle-aged.

Personality
Uleris was conservative, patronizing, seemingly a bit sexist and racist, and arrogant. He was loyal to Varenechibel IV to some degree. He was quick to interrupt Maia and talk over him.

Life
Uleris Chavar and Setheris Nelar had a bitter feud, and Setheris wanted to be Lord Chancellor. Setheris seemingly attempted to turn Varenechibel IV against Uleris, and Varenechibel IV had Setheris imprisoned in the Esthoramire for 3-4 months as a result, for attempting to exert undue influence on the emperor (treason), though he was not formally charged for anything. After Chenelo's funeral, Varenechibel IV had Setheris relegated with Maia to Edonomee, where Setheris served as a sort of caretaker for Maia.

After a bomb placed on the Wisdom of Choharo by Tethimadiese conspirators killed Varenechibel IV, Nemolis Drazhar, Nazhira Drazhar, and Ciris Drazhar, Uleris ordered arrangements for a funeral, and notified the principalities and Archduchess Nemriän Imaran, and sent Csevet Aisava with a letter to Maia at Edonomee, with his condolences, and the note that he awaited Maia's orders. Setheris suggested Maia take Csevet's airship back to the Untheileneise Court, to counter Uleris' plans, and get crowned as soon as possible, so Maia (and Setheris) did so.

Once at the Court, Maia had Csevet go in search of Uleris, who seemingly evaded discovery for some time, but eventually arrived with a large entourage. Uleris grew annoyed when Maia insisted on his coronation occurring, particularly prior to the funeral. But Uleris eventually agreed to set the coronation at midnight on the 24th, and the funeral to be later that day. Uleris also recommended Csevet to Maia's service.

It was Uleris' duty/a general expectation for him to inform Captain Verer Orthema of the Untheileneise Guard and Sehalis Athmaza, Adremaza of the Athmaz'are, about Maia's arrival, so they could send Maia his nohecharei, but Uleris failed to do so. Setheris did so in his place.

As Lord Chancellor, Uleris was also traditionally in charge of arranging for the imperial signet/signets for the royal family generally, but did not do so for Maia. Csevet did so in his place.

Prior to the coronation, Uleris went to Maia to talk about the rituals for the coronation, and "suggested" that Maia take Setheris and the Marquess Imel as his close friends to the vigil during the coronation, as Maia had no apparent friends at court and both men were his two nearest male relatives of age. Maia did not do so, as "he would under no circumstances allow Setheris Nelar to play a role of any ritual importance whatsoever in the process of his coronation."

Before Maia's coronation, Uleris met with Maia, along with Maia's four nohecharei, Archprelate Teru Tethimar, Sehalis, and Verer. Uleris asked Maia the three ritual questions, which Maia answered. Uleris was possibly surprised that Maia chose to take the name "Edrehasivar".

Sheveän and Uleris Chavar talked one of Maia's Second Nohecharei, Dazhis Athmaza, into their employ, promising him that he would become Adremaza after the death of Sehalis Athmaza, and that he would be Idra's First Nohecharis, and used him to knock out Maia's other Second Nohecharei, Lieutenant Telimezh, and thus allow Sheveän's armsmen to kidnap Maia, in an attempt to get Maia to abdicate. The plan was to then send Maia to a monastery dedicated to Cstheio. Maia asked to meet with Idra, who disagreed with both conspirators' plans and ideology, and called on his armsman to turn against Sheveän, in time for the Untheileneise Guard to break down to the door to where Sheveän and Uleris were keeping Maia to rescue him.

Csevet Aisava
Csevet learned how to manage Uleris.

Maia Drazhar
Uleris disliked Maia, and disapproved of his progressive policies. Maia disliked Chavar for his patronizing attitude, racism, and conservative leanings.

Setheris Nelar
Setheris had a feud with Uleris, and thought Uleris was an idiot.

Sheveän Drazharan
Sheveän and Uleris seemed to be opportunistic allies.

Varenechibel IV
Uleris was loyal to Varenechibel IV's memory, and used this to support his coup against Maia. Varenechibel IV did not turn against him on the urging of Setheris.
