# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born around 877, Igor was still an infant when his father Rurik died in 879, leaving the rule of Novgorod to Oleg, a kinsman who served as regent. Oleg eventually moved the seat of power to Kiev, and when he died in 912, Igor took the throne as Prince of Kiev. He ruled for thirty-three years until his death in 945. The Primary Chronicle, the chief source for his life, offers more shadow than clarity: a prince who held power through a formative era but whose actual deeds remain scarce in the record.
