Nihongi Von Rohrs (b.2394 - d.????); sixth Coordinator of the Draconis Combine and first of the infamous House Von Rohrs Coordinators.

History

Born in May 2394 as the child of an affair between Marika Kurita and one of her father's stable hands, Werner Von Rohrs.[2]

He was raised mostly in secret and learned of and came to hate Coordinator Robert Kurita, the man who had killed his father. Although Robert was assassinated in 2412, Nihongi still sought revenge, settling on a guiltless target: Parker Kurita. When in 2419 Saigo Kurita died, Nihongi discovered that he was the eldest surviving male in the New Samarkand Kurita bloodline.[2]

Nihongi Von Rohrs began plotting against the Kurita line. He he made friends with some ambitious and greedy officers to whom he made promises of high positions to persuaded them to assist him in a coup against Parker Kurita. He would seize the Coordinatorship through overthrowing and then executing Parker Kurita in March, 2421.[2]

After the coup and the additional killing of some of his conspirators, he exiled all immediate members of the Kurita line.[2]

He got help from Jason Kurita, but when rebellion started to cause trouble in his region and Jason sent his troops back, Nihongi had him stripped of his rank and taken to him. He did not arrive as Daniel Sorenson killed Jason in self-defense.[3]

Nihongi had to face the hostily from Daniel Sorenson as loyal opposition to his rule, but could not dislodge him from his position of power even though Sorenson tried to take him out of his place.[3]

Nihongi removed and executed competent corporate and mercantile leaders and replaced them with inept but loyal friends and stooges. He also dealt with the slightest criticism from anyone in the harshest possible manner: entire families, from grandparents through grandchildren, were executed if a single family member spoke out against the Von Rohrs government.[4]
