Born on July 13th, 1967, Lucas Enrique Durand Tejada was born to the Prince and Princess Alejandro Rios Durand and Bianca Tejada Torres de Durand. After his father's abdication in 1993, Lucas ascended to the throne.

His reign has included various tumultuous political incidents. This includes the somewhat neutral relationship with the Armed Republic of Stratarin taking a negative turn of events during and after the successful communist revolution it suffered, leading to several border skirmishes between the two nations. Furthermore, despite numerous attempts at peace with Bourun, the Islamic theocracy has rejected such offers at every turn, with more hostility directed at Ivlya than usual.

These developments notwithstanding, the people of Ivlya seem to love him. Polls taken of his approval rating piqued in July 2017, at 91%, then plateaued in August at 89%. He's seen by many citizens as the personification of Ivlya himself: bold, grimly determined, and unbowed.

Despite the many duties of the crown, he has said, "I always have and always will... set aside time for my family." According to reports, he has indeed done so. His wife Katerina has stated that the prince does his best to balance his schedule with helping to raise their younger children and spend time with their older progeny.




Katerina Venegas Núñez de Durand

Katerina Adelaida Venegas Núñez de Durand, born to a wealthy Ivlyan family on November 23rd, 1968, met Lucas Durand Tejada at an aristocratic gathering in 1986. The pair courted the following year and married in the summer of 1988. When asked why he married her, Durand replied, "She was... the cleverest, loveliest, most practical woman I had ever met."

While the citizenry of Ivlya love and respect their prince, many of them acknowledge that he would not be nearly so favorable without the loving support of his spouse. Although she has plenty of household responsibilities, tending to her eleven children as opposed to having a caregiver do so, she regular appears at his side during speeches, addresses, or simply public outings.

Although several foreign feminist icons have criticized her for supporting the "patriarchy," Katerina seems to ignore any such comments and takes pride in being the housewife and princess of Lucas.







Katerinita Durand

Katerinita Bianca Durand ('Nita' for short), born in March 17, 1990, is the eldest child of the prince and princess. She prefers to eschew the public eye in favor of her business work as a young CEO of Kondor Arms Corporation, an Ivlya-based small arms manufacturer. When she is actually spotted in public, she appears as politely respectful yet reserved.

Despite inheriting her blonde hair from her mother's side (due to her grandmother being descended from natural born Ivlyan's and not Kalatianburg immigrants), she prefers to use her father's surname only.

Despite the occasional urging of her parents and the swooning of her would-be suitors, Katerinita remains single

His main political activities include endorsing fundraisers for churches, orphanages, and children's hospitals; and promoting programs and policies of his father.

In a heavily publicized event in 2009, she had a brush with depression and attempted to commit suicide, though was stopped before she could do so and received therapy.








Valentina Durand Venegas

Valentina Angela Durand Venegas was born February 26th, 1999. Unlike her older siblings, she is hardly a responsible character. Valentina is known for throwing lavish parties, acting somewhat disreputably, and caring little for politics.

She's been arrested for several various misdemeanors such as possession of illegal drugs, speeding, underage drinking, and disorderly conduct.

Prompting many media articles, both in her defense and not, she currently freelance models for often provocative clothing or lingerie.
