Mothy Kossar Zultoff-Hollane

Mothy Kossar Zultoff-Hollane ( listen) (Songarian: Mohy Koszer Zöltó-Hölén; 1867–1938) was a Songar-Eican commander, military advisor, and statesman, active during the late industrial era. He first won recognition as captain of the White Brigade, an Eican free company which saw action in various Nurovan conflicts during the 1880s and 90s. After the outbreak of the Great Wars, Hollane rose through the ranks, ultimately taking on the role of a supreme commander of both land and sea operations. He is remembered particularly for his leadership of the Eican Navy, transforming it from a modest fleet of ironclads to a full-strength strike fleet. Mothy was a proponent of combined arms warfare, an early adopter of the aircraft carrier, and a supporter of the unrealized Eico-Songarian union.

Ancestry

Hollane was born of the House of Zultov-Hollane, an illustrious Songarian family going back to the 11th century.
