Copakus Squing

Copakus Squing was the Royal Sheriff-General of the Qualundic South Squingdom and Commandant of the Squidon Elite Marines, during the rule of Squing Nenosund Squiron. He was born on 1301 ASR, in Dèkiles, the Hiles Territories. Copakus was a Popolaris Squing. Copakus joined the Grand Southern Army under Helosund's rule in 1331 and quickly became a Colonel by 1337. Copakus fought in Helosund's Second Campaign Against Peqan in 1339 as a part of the 1st Rhomerpecan Battalion. With the conquest of almost all of Peqan, save the southernmost parts of Upper Peqan, they won the war. General Palquazon Squing, of the Arolonic Squings, was left in charge as the military governor of the Peqan Occupation Zone. Governor Palquazon appointed Colonel Copakus as High Commissioner of the Martial Law on Civilians. With attacks from pro-Peqanist rebels, Copakus created the Peqan Mounted Police Brigade also known as Copakus' Lancers. The PMPB successfully attacked and arrested many rebels and separatists. They also dealt against other criminals such as robbers and bandits in the jungle roads. Copakus and the PMPB were famous for the Capture of Harilluime Squing, of the Harillikis Squings, a wanted bandit and murderer. Copakus' exploits got the attention of a nearby Major General, Crown Prince Nenosund Squiron. In 1351, in recognition of High Commissioner Copakus' great deeds, Squing Helosund personally promoted Copakus to Brigadier General. With the passing of Helosund, the new ruler, Nenosund appointed Brigadier General Copakus as the Royal Sheriff-General of the Department of Sheriffs, in 1359, with the Sheriff Decree. The Department of Sheriffs would preserve law and order in the West, while Nenosund would be able to utilize the military for other purposes. As the Royal Sheriff-General, Copakus went visiting all the sheriff offices in the Great Western Regions. Copakus ordered the construction of the Royal Sheriff-General Office in the city of El-Parondo. Copakus expanded the Sheriff's Offices to other terroritories of the South Squingdom. He helped create the Central Sheriff Office of Hearta at the city of Qen-Dos, in 1369. In 1371, the Grand Southern Army recalled Copakus for preparations for the invasion of Trayconia. The GSA promoted Copakus to the rank of Major General. Copakus was in charge of the 4th Norukese Dragoons. Major General Copakus was directly under General-in-Chief Haribane. Copakus fought many battles against the forces of the Dekaritousan RSA during the Invasion of Trayconia. In 1372, Copakus fought in the Battle of Port Traditalon, as the lead strategist, successfully defeating the Port Traditalon Authority Forces. Impressed by Copakus' tactics of amphibious warfare, General-in-Chief Haribane Squing, appointed Copakus as the Commandant of the Squidon Elite Marine Corps. As Commandant of the Squidon Elite Marines, Copakus led the 1st Squidon Elite Marine Division in the Battle of Fort Squahecton, under the command of General-in-Chief Haribane Squing and Grand Admiral Selsonus Squing. Copakus was one of the generals present at the Armistice at Kasnâc in 1373, a year after the Ceasefire in 1372. In 1381, Copakus resigned as the Commandant of the Squidon Elite Marines, and became the Royal Sheriff-General, taking over Shuricon Squing of the Qualon-Vernac Branch. Copakus was present for the coronation of the new Squing, Vakorund, the son of Nenosund. Copakus retired in 1400, after the coronation of Squing Vakorund I, and was replaced by his hand-picked successor, Rocamapa Plutamatu. Copakus died in 1402, having lived for 102 years.
