Aelorn Heimgrist
Aelorn Heimgrist (a.k.a. The Black Emperor)
"This peace is a ruse. There are many more pressing matters than maintaining this facade. The Midden must be reclaimed. Given the political circumstances in which we find ourselves, it presents the only opportunity at expansion for the Empire. I cannot allow my country to stagnate. Our destiny lies in the ruins of the Midden."
Mental characteristics
Sexuality
Has a complicated relationship with women. Since his mother's passing, he has found it difficult to establish a genuine emotional connection. He has several concubines for his physical needs. They are treated well though they understand that this offers little chance at being raised above their current lowly station.
Education
Graduate of the Valonari War College. Though he completed his education with the highest marks and at the top of his class, there has been some speculation as to whether or not he accomplished this feat by his own merits or if his status as royalty may have tipped the scales in his favor.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Valonari Combatives Tournament Victor for fifteen years straight.
First Spear of the Empire, honorary position bestowed upon him by his father following his graduation from the Valonari War College.

Failures & Embarrassments
Has not yet tasted defeat in his life. While this would initially present him as having superior capability, it also implies that his lack of experience in failure may undermine his expansionist ambitions.
Mental Trauma
The sacrifice of his mother at a ritual conducted by a local Cult of Baphomet scarred him deeply. Following this tragic loss, Aelorn began to hide himself away in the library, reading through historical texts covering any number of subjects ranging from politics, military strategy, the occult, and other sundry interests.
Intellectual Characteristics
Possesses an impressive tactical acumen, though the practical application of this talent has been limited to chess and skirmish exercises
Morality & Philosophy
Has a utilitarian bent. Very proud of his Imperial heritage and endeavors to unite his citizens under that shared cultural background. Empire above all. Expansion of this cultural identity is his intended gift to the world.
Social
Religious Views
Is a cleric of both Tempus and Bane. Though this would initially appear to be contradictory, the Gods accept his patronage due to his devotion to the ideals of both war and totalitarian control. Though he is a devotee of both the gods of war and tyranny, he has no interest in conducting war that is not just or abusing his power as Emperor.
