Blare te Devian

**Blare te Devian** (96-130 AR) was the second-born son of his father, Akko te Devian, who ruled the Devian Empire from 96-113 AR and was one of the wealthiest people of all time, and to his wife, Claro te Devian, one of the most well-known women of that time. Following the assassination of his older brother Akko-Ine, Blare would take the throne and rule from 115 AR until his death in 130 AR, caused by contracting numerous sexually transmitted illnesses. Despite this, the Devian Empire saw a re-emergence during his time as emperor, doubling in size and its army once again becoming among the most powerful in the world. Blare is also confirmed to be bisexual.

## Early Years

Growing up under royalty, Akko spoiled his children in one way or another. As described by several of his children, he was fairly abusive and often tripped on power. Akko and Claro both neglected their children, and other servants and close family members had to raise and look out for them. The relationship between their parents was very sour as well. Akko would often have sexual intercourse with Claro around his children and do other shady things, such as offering prostitutes to have intercourse with his children at young ages.

## Rule of Akko-Ine te Devian (113-115 AR)

Following Akko's murder on hands of his own son, Akko-Ine took power of the empire and quickly spawned a reemergence. The Devian Empire saw success alike the peak years of the empire under Akko, with rebels being squashed and opposing groups being murdered.

Despite the successes, Blare grew very jealous and had a lust for power. He and his brother Akko-Ine did not have a good relationship, and often got into physical arguments. Akko-Ine eventually had him expelled from the palace in the heat of the moment. Blare grew lots of hatred for Akko-Ine and wanted him murdered. He spent time developing a group of trusted warlords in an attempt to overthrow Akko-Ine and murder him.

The initial attempt was successful. The warlords raided the palace, murdering Akko-Ine. Blare was then sworn in as emperor, being the oldest of the rest of the siblings.

## Blare's Reign as Emperor (115-130 AR)

Blare was a very smart emperor, and spent his entire life in preparation to rule, brainstorming attack strategies and fierce leadership capabilities. He took the throne as young as age 17, becoming one of the youngest rulers in history.

Shortly after he assumed his role as emperor, Blare grew suspicion that other people in his family would murder him in order to gain the throne. He was not very well liked among his peers and family, and received hints that some were planning on murdering him. In retaliation, Blare set out those same warlords to kill everyone in his family, including his siblings and their husbands and wives. He replaced those close to him with other people that were close to his father Akko, as well as surrounding himself with many women and men he would pleasure himself with. He is one of the numerous GSRM leaders in Naridian history, being confirmed as bisexual himself.

Initially, Blare was a very successful emperor. He worked on expanding the borders of the Devian Empire, and it nearly doubled in size by 130 AR.

However, as he matured, he spent less and less time as leader of Devian, sacrificing some of his power and giving it to other trusted members, forming his own new council which would each manage one part of society. Blare spent most of his time at the palace, either partying or engaging in sexual intercourse with his prostitutes.

## Illness and Death, Dissolution of the Devian Empire

In his late 20's, Blare grew very sick. He had caught many sexually transmitted illnesses while working with his prostitutes, and eventually grew too sick to even perform his duties as emperor.

In 130 at age 32, Blare died in his bed in lots of pain. With his death, uncertainties grew as to who would now rule the Devian Empire. Though it was still expanding rapidly and had one of the greatest armies of all time, there was much confusion in who would rule and leadership quickly fell apart. The army wandered off after receiving no commands what to do, and the Devian Empire was no more.
