The Emperor

The Emperor is the current 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.

Appearance
The Emperor is a young child with green shoulder-length hair which is braided on the sides and green eyes. He wears a purple outfit with white boots and a blue mantle, as well as a large headdress. He also carries a golden scepter with a blue orb attached to it.

Personality
Being only a child, the Emperor is naive and trusting in the Prime Minister, who is using him as a puppet to do whatever he wants. Constantly under the watchful gaze of his "most trusted adviser", the Emperor's perception of morality has become warped as he is incapable of discerning right from wrong, believing that all he does is for the good of the Empire. He listens to Honest without question and asks for his approval in the decisions he has made, as shown when he sentenced a man to death for being against some of the decided political measures he had taken.

Outside of his duties however, he has been shown to be a kind and cheerful person who wants to help others to the best of his abilities, as shown when he wanted to help Esdeath find a lover.

History
Some time ago before the series' start the Emperor won a battle of succession thanks to Honest's shrewd tactics. He has been used by him as a puppet ruler ever since.
