Affluence/Wealth : Poorer than a Duke - while he may be the Emperor, his coffers had been drained before he received the throne and likely from before his father or grandfather took the throne. History : Born the second son of the old Emperor of Threndel, he was appropriately educated as a son of the empire, with only some 'defects' as his father put it. He had a strong lisp and stutter that inhibited his speaking abilities for most of his life, and still today in some cases. But through his young life, he was often mistreated as he was the second, he grew a thick skin, but also bad habits, and traits that leaders should not have. He was somewhat cowardly and enjoyed sparring and fencing for sport, but the sight of blood did cause him to become uneasy. He also became indecisive and unable to choose for himself most of the time. His treatment was lessened by his tutors and by others who visited, but after two wars, both of which were losses, he started to be blamed even though he was far too young even to affect the outcome of a meeting, even though he was never a part of them. In his teenage years, he was socially awkward because of his youth, and more wars that were lost; he had to move homes several times until he ended up in the New Capitol of Threll. While he was born in this city, he had moved many times as enemy armies and rebels came close to where he lived. Friends, he has lost many as their lands became new kingdoms, states, or vassals of his enemies. These years also showed him to sports, art, music, and horses. While his father's armies were being phased out, he took to the new as he created many of the army and navy uniforms. His father looked down upon this because he took an interest in making uniforms. His father made him wear the uniforms. At fifteen, he became an ensign in his father's army, primarily in his cavalry corps. While in the cavalry, he enjoyed riding horses, but he often found himself being left behind or being a runner. Combat is something he couldn't stomach often, and at the time that did not matter because he was the second son. He was the one who couldn't stomach blood; he didn't have to take the throne. For a long time, almost fifteen years, it stayed like this until the most recent war. While his eldest brother fought with the rest of the corps, he was away running orders to his father. A man destroyed the corps, his brother included. An ancient mage had found where the brother and his men were sleeping; within moments, they were ashes. He had never seen magic at that scale, but he knew his brother was dead, and that he was to be the Emperor. With the loss of his brother, and with the war over several years later. Riots had begun to break out, and his life was in shambles, often in court, hidden away to do his bookkeeping. He tended to keep to himself, as many believed him to be the death of his elder brother, the one who should have been the next Emperor. While in the shadow of his brother, the people forced abdication on his father, which was agreed upon, a council was formed with a proxy at its head. Emperor Theltavious VII, or Argamei of House, then became the two hundred and third Emperor of Threndel. Being a puppet for approximately twenty-five minutes before the roof of the Imperial Palace in Threll, which was heavily damaged in the war, collapsed, killing most of the 'democratically' elected officials of the public, with his survival and the survival of several loyalists within the court. He once again became the absolute monarch. Having a shortcoming in those in court, he has begun searching for those in his nation to rise to the task of rebuilding it. [/hider]
