He is currently the Prime Minister and knight of Sirion. He was formerly the General (Two terms) and Vice-Marshal of the Silver Legion.  Before he joined the Silver Legion, he was a member of the Army of Sirion and the Glinmar Light Raiders. He was also the former Count of Ustimbar and Dolmbar.

A Young Knight

---

Lapallanch Family originated from the heart of the great elven realm of Sirion. Unlike his brother Kihalin, Zakilevo was interest in various weapons. He knew if he try to learn how to wield too many weapons, he will never be a master at any one of them but he chose to learn the use of weapons to study the art of war. Like all of his sibilings, he has heterochromia iridis.

The Knight and The Steward of Sirion I

---

When he joined Sirion as a knight, he decided to serve under Duke Ecthelion Tezokian who was Duke of Sirion for as long as he could remember. He was assigned to Sirion's main army, the Army of Sirion. He joined AoS's northern operations during his early years but after 2 years in the north, Sirion changed her strategy and decided to focus Fontan thus bringing AoS to the south. After a huge battle in Montijo, he discovered a shield, 'Tempus' Aegis of the Ancients' while his men were searching the battlefield. He gave this shield to his liege, Duke Ecthelion. After years under Duke Ecthelion, Zakilevo was promoted to the steward of Sirion.

The Glinmar Light Raiders and The Silver Legion

---

After 4 years in the Army of Sirion, Lady Leoma, Marshal of the Glinmar Light Raiders asked Zakilevo to join the GLR. He was eager to fight harder for his homeland and accepted Marshal Leoma's offer. The GLR attacked Al Amarah to Negev and devastated Eastern side of Fontan. During this operation, the Vice-Marshal of the GLR went missing and Zakilevo sent a letter to Marshal Leoma for the position.

But the GLR was disbanded shortly after Zakilevo became the Vice-Marshal of the army due to the mysterious disappearance of the army sponsor, Lord Alain of Glinmar. Judge Erik Eyolf found a new army called the 'Silver Legion' and transferred everyone in the GLR. Zakilevo became a new Vice-Marshal of the newly found army. When Marshal Leoma disappeared for unknown reason, Zakilevo ordered the army for two weeks until Sir Turgon became the new Marshal. Under Marshal Turgon's leadership, the Silver Legion has conquered Al Amarah, Oporto, Braga, the city of Karbala, An Najaf and the city of Fontan. Months later, the Silver Legion sacked the Fontanese capital Krimml.

After Fontanese Chancellor Basilius agreed with the peace treaty, the Silver Legion was sent to the western regions where once a great realm of Old Rancagua stood. Sirion attack SoA from the east to the north constanly. Within weeks, Sirion successfully looted the duchy of Oroya including the city itself. But the sieze stopped when Westmoor attack Ashforth out of their greed. Ashforth was soon to be handed over to Sirion but Westmoor's foolish action slowned down the process.

The General of Sirion

---

When General Ilias became the new Prime Minister of Sirion, he has asked marshals and vice-marshals of Sirion to step up and become the new general of Sirion. But after almost a week of waiting, no one volunteered to become one. At the time, Zakilevo was planning on retiring from his military career. He had told Duke Erik and Marshal Turgon about his desire to retirefrom the position of the Vice-Marshal of the Silver Legion. He was also willing to step down from the Countship of Dolmbar to give more opportunity to the younger generation of Sirionite nobles.

But when Prime Minister Ilias asked the members of the General Staff that he was looking for someone younger to become the new general, Zakilevo decided to discuss the matter with his liege Duke Ecthelion. After exchanging a couple letters with his lord, he decided to run for the position. There were three candidates for the position but with the support of the two dukes of Sirion, Zakilevo won the position. As soon as he became the new general of Sirion, Sir Sun Ce replaced him in the Silver Legion as he wanted. He returned to Dolmbar shortly after to pack his belongings and ordered his steward to clean his mansion for the future Count of Dolmbar.

Soon after the appointment, he was injured while fighting Sultanate nobles in Csopa. The Sultaneses were looting the region for almost two days without any resistance from Sirion. Zakilevo's cavalries manage to destroy all of Sultaneses but he was injured during the battle. It took him two days to recover from his wounds. After his recovery, he ordered his armies to attack Oroya. This was a big mistake since most of the armies were not ready to march and the order came a bit too late. Sirion lost almost 9k CS while SoA lost barely anything. Zakilevo took the full blame for the failure and ensured his people that he will not fail twice.

After a huge refit, Sirion gathered in Tabost to pressure Westmoor which has been continuously pressuring Fontan to give up more regions. Sirion managed to gather almost 20 000 CS in a single region. Sirion marched toward Juazeiro after three days to attack Sultaneses again. Once they arrived in the region, Marshal Webin ordered the Army of Sirion to attack Kazan without any order. Thankfully, Sultaneses had only a handful of men in the region.

Sirion and OI met in Kazan and readied themselves for a siege battle. A half day later, Zakilevo ordered Sirion and OI to assault the walls of Kazakh, the Sultanese capital. Over 20 000 CS of men attack 10 000 CS of defending force. After hours of battle, Sirion and OI broke through the walls and massacred Sultanese troops. Zakilevo kept his words and manage to lead his army to a victory for the first time since he became the General of Sirion.

After burning down the Sultanese capital of Kazakh for weeks, Zakilevo ordered all three armies of Sirion to gather in Ashforth to deal with Westmoor. Westmoor ignored Sirion's warning and attacked Krimml, the capital of Fontan. The two realm met in Oberndorf. Sirion used the archer opening strategy while Westmoor chose to hold their positions. Due to their dug in positions, Westmoor failed to react quickly, which allowed Sirion to devastate them with ease. Sirion maintained most of their men while over four-fifth of Westmoorian soldiers lay dead on the bloody field of Oberndorf. Westmoor quickly agreed to start a negotiation wiht Fontan after the defeat.

Zakilevo ordered his armies to attack rural areas of SoA to force their cities to starve after the battle in Oberndorf.

SoA tried to rebuild Kazakh but OI and AoS attacked the city to eliminate any of the remaining SoA nobles. Once his armies gathered in the city of Kazakh, Zakilevo ordered his marshals to rally their armies in Pucallpa for a siege. In a couple days, the three armies of Sirion gathered in the outskirts of Pucallpa with over twenty siege engines. SoA had lost all of its mobile troops, and militia units were only thing that were standing against the mighty elven armies.

Zakilevo ordered the attack only a day after the armies gathered in Pucallpa. Over a thousand men attacked the city of Oroya. The Siege of Oroya began with exchange of arrows but the armies of Sirion soon breached the walls of the city and massacred the Sultanese.

Once the armies secured the city, Zakilevo ordered the armies to loot the city to the ground. The city burned for days and hundreds if not thousands died during the occupation. With the last productive city gone, it seemed like it was the end of Sultanate of Asena. SoA survived over a month after losing her last city but on December 28th of year 1011, her last region Pucallpa revolted thus ending the long history of Sultanate of Asena. With the collapse of Sultanate of Asena, Zakilevo decided to retire from his post. He thought his job ended and Sirion would better off having a new general for the new era. He wrote a speech letter for his retirement and went back to being a knight of Sirion. Cimion Telerin became the new General of Sirion after Zakilevo.

The Knight and The Steward of Sirion II

---

After retiring from the General position, Zakilevo returned to his former duties, the same duties he performed over a year (or 10 physical years) ago. He was once again both knight and steward of the great city of Sirion. During this time, he reorganized estates (sending letters asking idle estate owners to set their estates to something useful) and wrote a region description of the city. Once he was done, he dismissed his cavalry unit '[] Vanquisher []' (captained by Waldor) as militia units of the city. Then he travelled north to help with some regional work in Sir Temple. After staying in the temple for half a day, he headed south to Avamar to become a priest of the Church of the Holy Sacred Grove.

The Priest of The Church of The Holy Sacred Grove

---

Zakilevo became a priest in Avamar to spread the teachings of the Church. Unlike many other major realms, Sirion's religion wasn't so strong. Those who have fought Fontan during the Great war realized how threatening a well established religion could be. So, Duke Ecthelion decided to help lords of Sirion to build temples all over Sirion. While lords were busy, Zakilevo decided to help commoners to learn the words of the Holy Father and Goddess Elune. However, Zakilevo soon realized his oratorical skill was actually poor and many peasants simply ignored his words. Realizing this, he left the capital to convert people of rural areas first. He first needed some experience before he dared to try and convert city people. Thus his journey began in Csopa, most unpopulated region in Sirion.

Zakilevo rewrote all the old teachings to help peasants understand the words of the Church better. He wrote about the Pantheon of the Nine Celestial Divines in the new text.

Zakilevo visited Westmoor and Perdan as a diplomat to improve the diplomatic relationship between them and Sirion. Nobles of Westmoor welcomed his visit while nobles of Perdan ignored him. Soon after he returned to Sirion, Westmoor hosted a tournament in their capital and Zakilevo joined the tournament where he advanced to the round three.

The General of Sirion II

---

When General Cimion fell ill to an unknown disease, Prime Minister Ilias sought advice from Zakilevo. He told Prime Minister Ilias of his willingness to take the position again until a more suitable candidate appeared. After two days of talk, Zakilevo was appointed as the General of Sirion once again to serve his beloved realm.

Not so long after his reappointment, a war broke out between Fontan and Westmoor. The Fontanese hierarchy was taken over by so called the 'Saxons'. Under their rule, Fontan amassed over 20 000 CS, surpassing even Sirion in terms of power. This sudden increase of combat strength frightened Westmoor enough to force the realm to declare war on Fontan. Once the war started, Fontan quickly moved into Hagley and looted the region to the ground. Before Westmoor could react, Fontan pulled back to Greatbridge and started a take over of the region. Westmoor gathered 13 000 CS and attacked Fontan's main army but they were crushed by the might of Fontan. This defeat forced King Jor of Westmoor to ask other realms for help.

While all this was going on, A daemon called 1st Son declared war on every realm on the continent and began his invasion. He first struck Westmoorian region of Evora with over 30 000 CS of daimon troops and devastated the region. As soon as Zakilevo heard of the news, he ordered all his marshals to gather in Parm to confront daimons and close the portal opened to west of Csopa.

It was soon revealed the rumour of daimon portals was a false rumour spread by Westmoorians to force Fontan to sign cease fire. The council decided to build up Sirion's strength despite realizing the truth of the rumour.

When Prime Minister Ilias decided to stop running for the position of Prime Minister, Zakilevo decided to run for the position. Marshal Ragnar and Count Ubin also ran for the position during the election against him.

The Prime Minister of Sirion

---

After 777 days of serving Sirion, Zakilevo was elected as the new Prime Minister of the great Elven Republic of Sirion with 92 votes (33% of the valid votes cast) on May 5th of 2012. Right after his rise to Prime Minister, he began his work of pressuring Westmoor as they tried to expand toward Fontan.

On May 17th 2012, Commonyr revolted against Westmoor and joined Sirion. General Rugina sent the Red Dragons to secure the region from Westmoor and Fontan. A couple days later, Negev joined Sirion after the execution of Squiggy Schumacher.
