'''Urizen Kurita II''' was the nineteenth [[Coordinator]] of the [[Draconis Combine]] from [[2620]]-[[2691]].
+
'''Urizen Kurita''' (b. [[2590]] - d. [[2710]]) was the [[Coordinator]] of the [[Draconis Combine]] from [[2620]]-[[2691]].
  
==History==
+
==Biography==
Urizen II was a tall and imposing figure, though he was shy and quiet amidst the court. He was a sharp administrator and took after his mother and grandmother in navigating court politics. He successfully pursued a policy of peaceful economic trade and colonial expansion throughout his reign. Urizen was Kuritan to the core and monitored his Household Guard closely, ensuring their complete loyalty.
+
===Early Life===
 +
{{sectionstub}}
  
Urizen was responsible for the citizens' growing distrust of the [[Star League]]. Urizen ordered gradual changes in the Combine's educational system, underplaying cooperation between the Combine military and Star League Regulars during the [[Reunification War]]. This and several other tactics blended to create an image of the Star League as somewhat apart from the realm so whenever it suited the Dragon's purpose, the Kuritas used this growing dissonance to portray the League's policies and laws as outside interference.
+
===Time as Coordinator===
 +
{{sectionstub}}
  
When Urizen stepped down, he had established his legacy as the Combine's most influential Coordinator (outside of First Coordinator [[Shiro Kurita]]). Because of his many official and unofficial policies, the Dragon had adopted a nearly uniform culture and awe-inspiring fanaticism. Urizen capitalized on the citizenry's love for the culture of a Japan that had not existed for more than a millennium.
+
===Death and afterward===
 
+
{{sectionstub}}
Until Urizen's reign, House Kurita relied heavily on the Star League for its military edge. Urizen's mass building programs encouraged factory construction and expansion of the Kuritan military industrial arm.
 
 
 
Finally, Urizen increased the [[ISF]]'s budget and power, granting them the authority to stifle any trends that encouraged unsanctioned avenues of expression and political criticism.<ref name=HHKp36/>
 
 
 
===Retirement and Death===
 
Urizen would step down as [[Coordinator]] in [[2691]], passing the office to his oldest son, [[Takiro Kurita|Takiro]]. However, even in retirement he would continue to serve the realm, taking the role of [[Planetary Governor of Echo|Planetary Governor]] of [[Echo V]].<ref name=HKDCp46>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 46</ref>
 
 
 
He would eventually die in [[2710]] in a ground vehicle accident.<ref name=HHKp36/>
