Karl Franz
Emperor Karl Franz House Holswig-Schliestein
Karl Franz, also titled Karl-Franz or Karl Franz I, Protector of the Empire, Defier of the Dark, Emperor Himself and the Son of Emperors, Elector Count of Reikland and Prince of Altdorf is the current Emperor of the Empire of Man, the Elector Count of Reikland, the Prince of Altdorf and the greatest statesman and general the Empire and perhaps the entire Old World had seen in many centuries. Karl Franz, who was elected to the Imperial throne in 2502 IC, followed in his father's footsteps, and was hailed as a patron of the arts and sciences, as a military innovator and as a valiant general.
Thanks to his tireless efforts on the behalf of his people, the Empire flourished during his reign as never before: the Imperial School of Engineers in Altdorf grew, the Colleges of Magic thrived and his armies marched from victory to victory.The Emperor frequently took personal command of his troops, wielding Ghal Maraz, the fabled magical warhammer given to Sigmar himself by the Dwarf king Kurgan Ironbeard over two thousand years ago, or his Runefang sword, and riding atop Deathclaw, his Griffon mount of many years, alongside his second-in-command and personal friend Reiksmarshal Kurt Helborg.
During the End Times, Karl Franz had channeled the divine energy of Sigmar himself in a desperate bid to defend humanity against the encroaching forces of Chaos. After the near-End of the world, Sigmar's essence left Karl Franz and the Emperor seemed to age several decades in a mere moment. He has since been brought to Carroburg, where he holds court - seeking to reclaim Altdorf.
