Mental characteristics

Personal history

The son of a declining noble house, he joined into the military at a young age believing his king to be the unifier needed for the waring Kingdoms of Domire. Before long he was uplifted to the rank of general, one of six within the kingdom. Always an astute intellectual, he began to dabble in some spells, giving him an advantage in combat. This intellectual mind would continue throughout his life and bleed into the fabric of the Imperium. He proved himself at the Battle of Calais, where clever use of his scouts provided a path into the enemies camp. Under cover of darkness, he led his troop in and won a triumphant victory while losing barely a fraction of his own men. This growing renown, respect from his men, and prestige from other noble houses brought him to become the king, after his king died with no heir. Adopting the slogan "Peace, Unity, and Security" which is still used by loyal servants of the Imperium today, he led a conquest to forge an everlasting united empire. He, and many of his most trusted courtiers, wrote the Imperial Charter to be the founding document. His rule as Emperor is marked with securing borders, stopping the Orcish raids, and the persecution of cults perceived as dangerous. Although his rule was marked by war it was also marked by unity, bringing an end to the warring states period and is held as a hero. He died at age 83, succeeded by his son. Each Emperor since him has achieved many great things, if not to the same degree.
