Otto IV
Last Wythian King of Sevnónicha
Otto IV (24 March 342 - 2 January 407), also known as Otto the Spineless, was the King of Sevnónicha from 364 to 407 AU.

He could often be found wandering the halls of the palace wrapped in an assortment of blankets and shawls, shaking so violently from the cold that an ill-informed passerby might have believed he was possessed by a Sevnóni demon of some variety.
