Praesidius Yakov Dilisnya
Yakov Dilisnya and his sister Oleska Dilisnya were born to Lev Dilisnya and Elena Almeida in Mordent in 641 BC. Stepan Dilisnya was his brother. Camille Dilisnya was his half-sister and Richtor Dilisnya was his half-brother, both through his father. In 666 BC he suffered a horseback riding accident that left him delirious for five days. Upon recovering his wits, Yakov proceeded to pen the First Book of Ezra. Over the next few years he displayed increasingly miraculous powers. He gained few followers however, at least until he left Mordent for Borca in 684 BC. Camille was the ruler of the recently formed domain and he convinced her to help finance the construction of the Great Cathedral. In 698 BC the Dilisnya family gathered for the funeral of Camille's fourth husband, Oleh Fortich. Camille was persuaded that her family had been conspiring to kill her and seized the occasion to poison to death the lot of them, Yakov included. A statue was raised before the Great Cathedral in honour of the memory of the founder and first Praesidius of the Church of Ezra.
