Generalisimo

Generalisimo was a military rank within the Taronian Coderite Empire, denoting a general or marshal who had been appointed command over a major military venture, and thus was not always active or could be held by more than one individual at once. It was unique in that it could only be granted by the Coderite emperor and not by military leaders, regional rulers, or even the prince of Verano. The rank was established in 4798 when it was given to the commander of the campaign against Gasella. In 5345, Girolamo Riario was made generalisimo over the frontier with and later conquest of Haleglar; upon being named governor of the province of Southern Haleglar (later renamed Riario), he would take generalisimo as his ruling title, making it a permanent fixture but with a role different than that of the military rank, which would continue use in future wars.
