==The Garnold Conglomerate==
Shizreen was the flamboyant Emperor the the Garnold Conglomerate around 2815ish. He was 6'2" tall. The Conglomerate consisted of thirteen worlds overseen by a space fleet led by Shizreen himself. The fleet, inluding massive, armored soldiers, was scary enough that no one dared mess with it, but not so big that it went out to conquer other worlds.
The flagship of the fleet, which is really more of a base, was called the Hilga, after the empress. It boasted pictures of her everywhere, including a particularly large one overlooking the massive command deck, which included a high chair for Shizreen to overlook his staff, which he referred to as "minions." He claims his troops are loyal, but also says no one escapes his service. The flagship was so big that it held a crew of at least 10,000. Rumor was that Shizreen built such a large vessel to compensate for his small genitalia.
Out among the stars, Shizreen took three wives, executing each in turn when they did not live up to his ideal of a good wife. They were high-spirited women, like singers, gamblers, and criminals. He passed a law so a person did not have to consent to be wed to the emperor. He intended to make Litcone Firest, whom he'd been hunting for some time and found lovely, his fourth such bride, but was stopped before it could happen. He has chains and manacles on his bed. He likes the pomp and ceremony of a wedding, and enjoys the wedding night whether his bride is into it or not. He claimed these wives were mere 'diversions' and that he was still devoted to his first wife.
His wedding ceremony to Litty started with the traditional human words "Dearly beloved, we have come together..."
Most of Shizreen's space-faring activites went unnoticed for years by Empress Hilga, the real ruler by blood. Once she found out about them, she cut Shizreen's space defense budget and made him stay home more often, where she could keep an eye on him.
