The Emperor He is a Nowhere Hour that had been restingceased to be long ago, dormant in his crypt which was built but has risen again through Mist. Dead - buried and forgotten in a time lone catacomb of the Mansus, the Emperor found himself waking once more, fueled by forces that no Hours can recalleven he did not understand. It One thing was only recently that clear however - he has finally awoken from his long slumberonce again had a cause. He is a man (?) on a mission to secure his domain and build a magnificent castle for Seemingly forsaking his prophecised kingdom - which does not exist yetlegacy, and which other denizens know little of.

The Emperor appears as a middle-aged man, jolly in regal but often frowning, with somehwat rotund features and an outfit truly befitting gloomy attire fit for a rulernoble. An ornate crown He is an extremely cheerful and pristine uniform; pleasant fellow, but always bears a fine cape and epaulets serve to further accent the garbsaddened face. He wields both carries a royal scepter and massive relic-blade as a sheathed claymore which he has affectionately dubbed the Dreihandersingle reminder of his previous incarnation. The only thing off about the whole affair His true form is that the normally-yellow of a black void without shape or orange decor is tinged blackform that travels as liquid, with ebony and obsidian replacing gold and gems. Of course, as an hour though he refrains from Nowhere, showing this is not his true appearance, not that he's shown that due to anyone; that would be so uncouth! courtesy. Rumors gathered from his council say that his domain is in actuality his the actual true form, and that the person is /liquid are merely an extension of such. These rumors are not yet confirmeddifficult to confirm.
===Principles===
* The Worryless Calm - To Fear is the Ultimate Emperor's greatest enemy, all issues in the Mansus are simply minor inconveniences, including the grand union or any wars and murders. This isn't to say his entire creed enforces that he doesnthere't understand why such events are meaningfuls no need for alarm, but he will definitely urge others not to be upset by themno matter the situation. This also isn't Suffice to say that he ignores what goes on also participates in genuinely improving the Mansus. Quite the opposite is true.* The Responsible Ruler - Despite his overly pleasant demeanor, the Emperor He is highly accountablea responsible individual - kind and just to all others, very open to his acquaintances and even more doubly so to his followers, and extremely respectful to other hours, especially those who hold high positions in the Mansus. His plans, while strange, are logically sound and well-executed. The Emperor himself maintains that such behavior should be the standard for all beingsAlso a great tactician.* The Ready Beyond - Prophecies of While many hours represent the future and a mission eventual end of preparation. The emperor represents wearinessall beings, long-term planning and a complete lack of fear of deaththe Emperor implies that said end is simply another chapter in existence.

==Secrets==
None, other than some of his own superstitions, which no one, including him, can verify. Gotta make I guess the fact that castlehe used to be some kind of ancient avatar of death and/or Nowhere ruler qualifies as a secret since it isn't something you'd easily find out, but it's not like he's hiding any of this information (though he has moved on to better things).
