'''Molag Uusea''' /'moʊləg 'yʊərziː / (died 23rd of May, 1599 SR) was a carpenter from Mustief who became the leader of an uprising known as [[uprising in Basistar]].
He was described as passionate, but inflexible. His defining feature turned out to be chronic indecision. [[General Leesar]] was quoted as saying that he had been talking about the uprising for years and it was somewhat a surprise to many of his friends when he actually moved forward with it. Once the uprising had commenced, it triggered a series of events that required little decision from Molag. he went on to grow his army and then overtake the city. But it all came to a halt when negotiations with Basistar began, which required him to make lasting decisions on a daily basis.
At the same time, he was popular with the rebels due to his devotion to the cause. When he contracted [[malas]] during the march on [[Uuxea]], he continued to lead his troops, demonstrating extreme endurance and strength of character.
He died in General Leesar's encampment from malas complications.

Molag continues to be a controversial figure in Basistar's history. Lauded as a fighter for the interests of his people, he is also blamed for being a poor organizer and essentially leading nearly 7,000 men to their deaths, which was more than half the population of Mustief.
His political goals have never been reached either, and by 1600 [[SR]] the idea of secession became largely irrelevant.
