Dânijal Obrârezt Milâ, affectionately known as Dânijal Vârisk, was a Sentryzijân farmer, soldier, revolutionary and statesman of Varisk origin. He was the founding father of the Socialist Federation of Sentryzijâ, serving as its first Pobloskolyl. Varisk also served as Supreme commander of the Workers and Peasants army during the Obradinian revolution, Obradinian civil war and Fourth Kostenian war.

Dânijal Vârisk oversaw sweeping reforms to the country, transforming it from a declining capitalist monarchy to a modern federal republic under a planned economy.
