Emperor Callisthenes Eudamidas Onomacritus

The Ascendant
The Emperor
May His strength never falter nor fail

Most Glorious Emperor of the Inviolable Aaronic Empire

---

"And when the Emperor went among his People for the last time, they wept for him and begged him not to leave. But he was decided, and of good spirit, and the People could not help but be bound to him, heart and soul. For only by way of his supreme sacrifice could they truly be saved from those who would enslave them. Despite this, the children of Enoch did not understand, and threw themselves on the Emperor crying "Why?". When parents tried to pull their children away, the Emperor bade them not to. He embraced the children, as many as his arms could hold, and those he could not reach crowded round and added their tiny armspans to the widening huddle.
"For you, little ones," the Emperor smiled, "I do this for you."

Special abilities

• Psychic powers of unparalleled potency

• Non-local awareness

The Emperor is ensconced in what the Canon refers to as the "crystal casket", a huge lump of amethyst about the size of a kingly sarcophagus, which amplifies his already prodigious psychic strength while preserving his life. The main use of this amplified power is the suspension of Enoch at 40,000 feet in the air, though his divine intent can affect other miracles when invoked or at portentous moments of destiny. The Emperor is unable to move, feel or speak, but his awareness exists outside his body, and many devout Enochians have claimed to hear his voice in their thoughts since his interment.

"I was there the day the Emperor left us. It wasn't like the songs and stories tell. The only one weeping was Empress Myia, though the sight of her tear-streaked visage did cause a few to turn their heads. Percival, as he was known before all of this, he never walked among the People. There was no time for such niceties. The damned Jantine saw to that. They were at the bloody gates...and we lost so many while he said his goodbyes. But how could we rush him? Who among us could bear the weight of such a burden? If he had to linger a moment and clutch her hand just once more...we could not deny him this. And then he merged with that thing, and oh yes they'll tell you it's so beautiful and sacred, but I promise you, there is nothing more unholy or Ur-tainted than that horrible crystal. I'll never forget his face as he was pulled inside. The expression was...regret."
- the secret confession of Leland de Pont, 171st Year of Enlightenment, prior to de Pont's execution as a traitor to the Empire
