The Author & Scholar

Awarded Best-Selling Author

Since the age of fifteen, Prince Gharios has been writing for a wide variety of publications—magazines, newspapers, newsletters, fanzines, and more. Due to the complexity of his given name, he adopted the pen name "Mauricio Guerios" for much of his early writing. One of his most notable contributions was the weekly cultural column "Em Cena" (“On Stage”) in 2005, published in Estado do Paraná (the second-largest newspaper in the Brazilian state of Paraná). The column featured humorous critiques of cinema, theater, and music. That same year, he also wrote the comedy column "Mestres do Universo" (“Masters of the Universe”) for the RPC/Globo TV network’s online portal.

As a creative writer, he has produced a large body of work, including essays, plays, screenplays, and comedy routines. Between 2002 and 2006, he wrote numerous sketches and scripts for the renowned Brazilian comedian Diogo Portugal. He also penned over 100 episodes of the award-winning television show A Hora do Mico (“The Monkey Hour”) aired on SBT, one of Brazil’s major TV networks. Additionally, he single-handedly authored nearly 100 episodes of the comedy radio show Boa Noite Cinderela (“Good Night Cinderella”), which included two serialized radio comedies. In 2005, a Brazilian doctoral researcher identified Gharios as the only active author of comedy radio soap operas in the world at the time. In 2010, he also contributed scenes and starred in the feature film Música e Violência (“Music & Violence”).

His royal responsibilities eventually led him to study international law, Middle Eastern history, culture, and religion in depth. He has since become a sought-after scholar and consultant in these areas. Furthermore, as a dynast and legal advocate, Gharios became a leading researcher in dynastic and nobiliary law, culminating in the publication of his landmark work Dynastic and Nobility Law: The End of a Myth—a 436-page scholarly volume (out of print). Instead of publishing a second edition of Dynastic and Nobility Law: The End of a Myth, Prince Gharios chose to take a broader and more contemporary approach by writing Royal Sovereignty vis-à-vis Contemporary International Law—another revolutionary and bestselling work that fills a critical gap in legal literature. It is the only book to date that comprehensively examines how modern international law has dealt with royal and dynastic claims since the 1970s, as most previous studies remained anchored in pre-World War II jurisprudence. This timely and original contribution positions Gharios as a leading voice in the legal discourse on sovereign identity, post-monarchical legitimacy, and dynastic rights in the 21st century.

In 2014, he published the peer-reviewed Middle East: The Secret History, a groundbreaking work that earned him the 21st International Cultural Award Trentino–Abruzzo–Alto Adige (awarded by the Italian government) in the History category, making him the first Arab author to receive this distinction.

In 2015, he joined the Brazilian political magazine Consciência Política (“Political Conscience”) as an international correspondent and was featured on the cover of its second issue.

Today, the prince has authored twelve books, two of which have become bestsellers. These works span international law, geopolitics, history, spiritual science, political philosophy, and martial arts reform:

Through these publications, Gharios has established himself as a truly interdisciplinary thinker—combining scholarship, statesmanship, spirituality, and social critique into a powerful and original body of work. His trilogy Essentia–Sapientia–Unitas forms the core of the groundbreaking school of thought known as Skeptical Mysticism, while his political writings serve as the foundation of Political Holisticism, a visionary philosophy for 21st-century governance.
