| − | ===Early Life===
| |
| − | '''Kalvin "the Devourer" Liao''' was the Chancellor of the [[Capellan Confederation]] for a brief period during the [[Age of War]]. Though Kalvin may have been better than his predecessor, Kalvin was mentally unstable and had an insatiable appetite for acquisition. Kalvin was later assasinated by members of his own guards on March 13 [[2530]]. <ref>''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p.39</ref>

| − | Kalvin was wed to the daughter of the Protector of the [[Taurian Concordat]], [[Ariana Calderon]], some time near (or before) [[2520]]. The marriage was one of political convenience, a way to forge an alliance between the Concordat and the Confederation. However, Kalvin forgot (or simply disregarded) the politics, and married more women; by [[2527]], Kalvin had a large harem of wives, numbering more than 26. Then, in a manic fit, Kalvin ordered all of his wives executed for treason. <ref>''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p.38</ref> The event prompted the first aggressive military campaign targetted at an Inner Sphere nation undertaken by the [[Taurian Concordat]], a series of punitive strikes against several Capellan border worlds known as [[Ariana's War]].<ref>''The Periphery (sourcebook)'', p.20</ref>

| − | ==Notes==
| |
| − | ''The [[The Periphery (sourcebook)]] implies that [[Ariana Calderon]] was Kalvin's first wife, but the [[House Liao Sourcebook]] indicates she may have been one of his first three wives. There is no record of any children by these 'wives' surviving.''
