Overview
His Holiness took office in 3016 and ruled for a short four years as Pontifex of Ecclesia and leader of the Church. He died 11/2/3020, aged 64, of a massive heart attack in the new Pontifical Palace.
Pontifex Rokossovsky's name by birth is Aleksandr Rokossovsky. His Holiness chose to keep his original last name as his regal name. This practice is uncommon, though not entirely rare as some Pontifexes will choose to hold their Slavic name in office to preserve and present the prowess of Slavic descent. It is however the first instance of a Pontifex using this name.
Pontifex Rokossovsky is perhaps the most controversial Pontifex in modern history. He expanded the Pontifical Church from just Ecclesia and Lancastria, into nearly every country in the Doggerlands. His rule also saw the NCR-Ecclesian conflict, which decimated much of the city and brought Ecclesia into the Republik, ending centuries of foreign isolation.
Prior to being elected Pontifex, Aleksandr Rokossovsky entered the seminary at age 18 and was ordained at age 23. He became Auxillary Bishop rather young, at age 30, and led the faithful for several decades. Upon the death of the late Pontifex Vasiliev III, Rokossovsky, aged 60, was elected to the throne.
The Pontifex was well known for having expensive tastes (as shown in his superyacht the Malinovka) as well as brandishing firearms and swords at public events. His Holiness allowed many forms of news and media throughout the country and even gave an exclusive interview with the WBC (a large contrast with the majority of Pontificates which heavily restrict free press).
