Appearance
• Physical: Tall and imposing with silver-streaked black hair swept back in the traditional Azarian noble style. His sharp gray eyes seem to weigh every word spoken in his presence, and his meticulously trimmed beard frames a face that rarely smiles. • Clothing: Wears robes of deep imperial purple embroidered with gold thread depicting the founding of Azaria. His signet ring, passed down through twelve generations, bears the Imperial Seal. • Distinguishing Marks: A thin scar runs from his left temple to his jaw, earned during the Succession Crisis of his youth. His hands are always adorned with ink stains from endless paperwork.
Daily Life
Rises before dawn to review intelligence reports from across the Empire. Spends mornings in council with the Empress, afternoons managing the endless flow of petitions and decrees, and evenings hosting diplomatic dinners where more is accomplished in whispered asides than in official proceedings.
