Emperor Ireons "Titus"

== Early Life ==
Ireon's was born in 1663 A.T.F, and hailed from a power family of nobles who ruled The Patriarch aligned city state during The War for Orbis. The city state Ireons family ruled was known as The Duchy of Vaedesia, the capitol being centered in the province of Vaedesia in the city of Konigsburg, and the property of The Patriarchy. From a young age Ireons was educated by his family, and groomed to eventually take the position the Patriarchs Duke of the Duchy. During his studies he became obsessed with the story of Titus and his conquest, he spent much of his free time learning about Titus and his extensive life. Ireon's was known to be a quiet child who kept to himself, he also gained the reputation of being awkward but determined. 
== The Impressionable Ruler ==
At the age of twenty Ireon's parents were killed, it was believed the perpetrators of his family's' murders were assassins from the Third Legion. Ireon's was hastily crowned the Duke of Vaidesia and the nominal ruler of any inherited land under his name. Ireon's first action was to petition the standing Patriarch at the time, Valin Cortes Maximus The Second, to organize a Crusade against The Third Legion. To his disappointment the Patriarch declined, Ireon's cared little about the Patriarchs reluctance to call a Crusade and opted to form his own Crusade instead. At the behest of the majority of his advisors Ireon's raised the Vaidesian Levy from Konigsburg, the total levy numbered nearly 100,000 men. The young Duke was joined by none of the standing lords in Orbis, and thus he set out on his own in what would be called "The First Crusade Against The Third Legion". Ireon's would spend years of his life campaigning in Northern Nova, however without a proper way to supplement his continued loss of manpower and his inability to make significant progress against The Third Legion he was forced to return home unsuccessful. 
== The Capitulation of The Vaidesian Realm and The Death of Ireon's ==
Upon Ireon's return to his realm he was greeted with the reality of his prolonged absence, the realm was on the verge of near anarchy. The Realm was under constant assault from The Northerners who rallied to the banner of The Free States of The North. To The South, armies from newly formed The Warlord State of Titus comprised of treasons Vaedesian Lords, successfully seized Titus City, and began making incursions into the Vaedesian Province occupying valuable mines. The situation was critical, however Ireon's once again proved his worth by first consolidating his power. While his army that accompanied him on his crusade only possessed a fourth of the man power it had initially departed with, the army that remained was experienced and deathly loyal to Ireon. The Duke started with rewarding the soldiers, local administrators, and stewards who remained loyal to him, he then turned his attention to the remaining nobles who would donate levies to his new campaign. For the next eight years Ireon's would ruthlessly campaign to retake his realm, successfully putting down the traitorous nobles who defied his rule and purging all foreign enemies from his remaining territories. Although Ireon's was able to reclaim much of The Duchy's losses during his absence, key territories in the south such as Titus City were forever lost.
During the last year of his reign, Ireon's would proclaim himself to be related to Titus and proclaimed himself the "Emperor of Orbis and The Human Race". Ireon's soon began to slowly devolve back into his obsession with Titus, hosting lavish parties, and expensive parades to celebrate his coordination. The sudden transition to a "Mad Duke" was unexpected, and many of his compatriots believed he was under the spell of a dark power. Anyone who defied Ireon's proclamation of being Titus was hastily imprisoned, with some of Ireons most outspoken opponents being outright executed. This proclamation would earn him the ire of The Patriarchy who would dispatch an Inquisitor to put Ireons "back in his place". In 1705 A.T.F the inquisitor would arrive and dispatch Ireon's, killing him with quick haste. With no heir to the throne, The Duchy of Vaidesia quickly capitulated into chaos under the Inquisitors inept rule, before its Northern neighbor, The Free States of The North, occupied the territory and formally annexed it in late 1705 A.T.F.

All of which would have disastrous effects on his reputation and his nations stability as he was oftentimes mocked by his opponents for being a "Puppet of The Past".
