Alexander II

Alexander II was the Casorian Emperor from 1 AC - 21 AC, and the final sovereign of the founding Lockheart Dynasty. He succeeded his father, Alexander I, as an eighteen year old, and his reign seemed promising and bright.
Early in his reign, he oversaw the mapping of the newly discovered continent of Isaevi, and entered into an alliance with the Kingdom of Shanaxtra. In 14 AC, he ordered his Legions to cross the Casorina Pass, and invade the powerful Isaevi Imperium, beginning the Imperium War. Seven years of bloody warfare followed, with even the Emperor sailing across the ocean to take part in 19 AC.
However, the Emperor fell in the Battle of the Emerald River in 21 AC, receiving a pike clean through his neck during the thick of the action. His Imperial host broke, and with them, the war finished.
Alexander is remembered by history as a tragic figure; a wise and benevolent ruler, who would have ruled the Empire for decades were he not slain. His life is the subject of numerous plays and books including one of Nathan Livendare's great epics, The Emerald Alexander, and he is held as one of the prime models for an Emperor.
