The Emperor

Emperor Makoto is the young ruler of the empire. He is shown to be a naive young boy who wishes to lead his people to a bright future. Unfortunately, due to the Prime Minister's influence, he is largely ignorant to the suffering of his people, and is actually contributing to the collapse of The Empire.

Bio
He is young and trusting, and serves as a a sort of puppet leader, being influenced by the will of the Prime Minister, who is the mastermind behind the evil happenings in the country. He is said to have only won the war of succession due to the Prime Minister's shrewd tactics. It is somewhat hinted that he has a crush on Esdeath.

Trivia

 * Outside of his duties as the emperor, he's really just a cheerful little boy.
 * He is shown stoically sentencing an innocent man to death for objecting the political affairs of the Empire. He then asks the Prime Minister if he did well. When called out on being victim of the Prime Minister’s machinations by the innocent man he immediately dismisses the man’s words as foolish ramblings.
 * Believes the Prime Minister is his most trusted adviser.
 * He is merely a tool used to distract the more feeble minded citizens of his court and by extension, the entire empire from the activities of the Prime Minister.
