Emperor Alstacius Entragar Epiphyte

One of the more famous elven figures of the end of the second age is that of Emperor Epiphyte.  Orginally an elven man from House Hemiphyte he was of low nobility and later cast out of his house due to his insubordination.  His name was Akumian Islingwoode Hemiphyte, and he found himself unsatisfied with stiff structure of Elven life.
Wandering the Eigerlands he taught himself the ways of the warrior and the barbarian.  He became one of the best fighters in all of Tanaheim.  Eventually he returned to the city of Orahero, now a wealthy sellsword and diplomat.  He changed his name and began to court a baroness of House Polipyte.  Eventually they married and the couple began to amass power.  Anything the new baron Hemiphyte couldn't get lawfully he gathered an army and took by force.  He began to conquer different areas of the Forest Realms and eventually took all of it except the city of Bentoren.  
He merged House Hemiphyte and House Poliphyte into House Epiphyte and proclaimed himself Emporer.  He changed his name to fit his new title and ruled for over one hundred years.  Eventually the other Houses banded together to depose him and he mysteriously vanished during the shattering that brought in the third age.
