Sir Erwan Morgainn Nasserethe (14 May 1823 - 13 October 1979) was a Staynish businessman and statesman who served thrice as Chancellor of the Exchequer (1924-1926, 1926-1928, 1957-1964), simultaneously serving as Deputy Prime Minister (1926-1928) whilst in coalition with the Podite Frederick Alderman. Nasserethe founded the Civic Party in 1926, defecting from the Liberal Party with over a hundred other Members of Parliament amidst the Jusdelva Debate. He became Father of the House when Orson Klarass retired in 1961, therefore making him the oldest MP to have served since the inception of Parliament in 1917. Nasserethe is a second-generation member of the wealthy Nasserethe family, the third son of Embask founder Ildut Nasserethe and grandson to the political theorist and revolutionary Lomig Nasserethe.

Erwan was born to Valerian parents Ildut and Edwina Nasserethe in Toransloe. When Erwan was born, their family name was tarnished because his grandfather Lomig Nasserethe was one of the Podite leaders of the failed 1826 revolution. Erwan worked as an apprentice wheelwright until moving to Redrugus to find better work. Erwan's father Ildut went on to found Embask when he was 42, by which time Erwan had established a coachbuilding business called Redrugus Coachmakers. It would evolve into Automobile Redrugus in 1896, producing some of the first petrol powered automobiles in Western Aurora, and by 1903 adopting the honourific title "Royal" when the Morstaybishlian Royal Family adopted the brand as its primary automobile, becoming Royal Redrugus. Erwan adopted a 20% share of Embask when his father died in 1916, propelling him to become one of the wealthiest men in western Staynes at the time. Erwan would somewhat follow in his grandfathers footsteps when he financially supported Alton Kresjarl in founding the Liberal Party, and later supporting the Morstaybishlian Revolution where Thadeus II signed the Great Charter of the Liberties.

After serving as Chancellor of the Exchequer under Alton Kresjarl, Erwan and Alton's relationship broke down in the second year of the Kresjarl ministry and Erwan defected, founding the Civic Party with the backing and defection of over a hundred MPs which led to the loss of Kresjarl's majority. Kresjarl would operate a minority government for a few months before being forced to call a general election. Erwan lead the Civics as the fourth largest party until he resigned in 1949. He accepted an offer in 1957 to come back into front bench work, becoming Chancellor of the Exchequer again in the first Civic government under the centrist reformist Everett Glasgore. Erwan retired from politics at the end of that term, in 1964. He would sell his shares in Royal Redrugus in 1969, a year before the Auroran Imperial War, and later died in 1979 at the age of 156.
