Emperor William (William Friedrich Issac Whitaker 10th Poseideon 50 ATP-) is Emperor of the Neubritannians, formerly Emperor of Einvaldi and Germania, and Imperator Britanniae. He is a Whitakerian (a being of god/goddess ancestry).

### **Early Life**

William was born in the illustrious city of Londinium, Britanniae, within the historic Castle of Whitaker, on the 10th of Poseideon, 50 ATP, as the rightful heir of Britanniae. Later on, destiny bestowed upon him the noble title of Imperator Britanniae, following the reported demise of his father, Imperator Maximillian Edward George (whom, to everyone's relief, was later found alive, albeit severely wounded). The events that unfolded in his early childhood were marked by the collapse of Ancient Britanniae, setting the stage for a challenging upbringing filled not with poverty, but with chaos and danger.

In the face of adversity, William found a steadfast companion in his childhood friend and cousin, Peter Wilhelm. Together, they braved the tumultuous aftermath of Britanniae's fall, enduring hardships and sometimes going without, but finding solace in the shared joys of their hobbies.

During the Winter of 37 ATP, a serendipitous meeting changed William's life forever when he encountered his beloved late wife, Elisabeth. Their connection was swift and profound, drawn together by a shared passion for exploring the world's wonders, embracing diverse cultures, and uncovering its hidden secrets. Though they had contrasting personalities, their differences complemented each other perfectly. Their love was deeply private, with William ensuring that their cherished bond remained shielded from public scrutiny until they joyously wed on the 30th of Heraion, 32 ATP.

In the years that followed, William experienced profound losses within his family circle. The passing of his beloved grandmother, Imperatrix Janet Iris, followed by his dear mother, Philipe Louise, left him and the Whitaker Family grief-stricken and in disarray. However, with the unwavering support of his wife, children, and his dedication to building the Empire of Germania with the British-Czech Legion, he found strength to overcome these trying times.

William's commitment to self-improvement and the pursuit of knowledge led him to invest a substantial portion of his family's wealth in education and combat training for himself and the establishment of the British-Czech Legion. Embracing a wide range of subjects, from advanced mathematics, physics, and engineering to languages, diplomacy, law, and economics, he excelled in his studies, particularly thriving in engineering and physics, even if the humanities did not captivate him as much.

## The Revolt Against Vingard

Late in the Kingdom of Vingard's history, a momentous event unfolded when the valiant British-Czech Legion, led, at the time, by Peter Wilhelm Wellington-Schwarzenberg, joined forces with Edward Klondike to spearhead a noble revolt. Their shared mission was to secure the cherished freedom of Germania, a budding colony that Edward Klondike had dutifully set up on behalf of Vingard. United in purpose, they strove to ensure the sovereignty and independence of this promising new land.

In a remarkable display of courage and determination, the British-Czech Legion achieved a resounding victory, paving the way for Germania's much-deserved independence. In the wake of this triumph, William, ever the visionary, embraced his role as Emperor of Germania, while extending the hand of partnership to Wellington-Schwarzenberg, appointing him as his esteemed Prime Minister.

The turning point came when the treaties of Germania were signed, signifying the official end of the revolt. In the spirit of diplomacy and peace, the Kingdom of Vingard graciously recognized Germania's independence through the first treaty, marking a momentous step towards mutual respect and cooperation. The second treaty was equally pivotal, as it meticulously defined international borders and, most notably, saw Vingard renouncing any claims it had on Germania, fostering a lasting atmosphere of goodwill and camaraderie between the two nations.

## **Emperor William's Reign over Germania**

### Economics of Germania

#### Industrialization

Following the triumphant conclusion of the War of Germanian Independence, William wasted no time in setting his sights on the ambitious goal of transforming Germania City, the empire's new capital, into a thriving center of industry and progress.

The very first landmark project to take shape was the magnificent Elisabeth Bridge, a testament to the profound love and admiration William held for his late wife, the Empress of Germania. This architectural marvel not only connected previously distant parts of the city but also symbolized the unity and strength of the nation.

Soon thereafter, the empire witnessed the establishment of its inaugural factory, a momentous occasion that marked the beginning of large-scale industrialization. This factory, specialized in mass-scale smelting.

With the factory's capabilities, Germania's ambitions soared to even greater heights. Projects of grand scale were now within reach, including the establishment of a vast netherite mining operation, a testament to the empire's resourcefulness and wealth. Additionally, Germania's Infrastructure Project, an extensive endeavor, aimed to build a modern and efficient network of roads, railways, and public services, further fueling the nation's growth and prosperity.

The fruits of Germania's early industrialization soon became evident to the world, as the empire swiftly ascended to become the largest economy on the global stage. The ingenuity, determination, and unwavering leadership of William and his cabinet, catapulted Germania into an enviable position of economic prowess and influence.

#### Economic Issues

While Germania flourished as the largest economy in the world, it was not without its challenges. The nation faced significant food shortages, leading to multiple small famines that brought hardship to its people. William and Wellington-Schwarzenberg initially prioritized industrial development and infrastructure projects, inadvertently neglecting the pressing issue of food security.

Recognizing the gravity of the situation, William and his Prime Minister turned their attention to address the food crisis. They took the pragmatic step of importing grain from Vingard, a crucial lifeline that helped alleviate immediate hunger and stabilize the situation. Additionally, they prioritized the construction of farms within Germania's territories to boost domestic food production and reduce reliance on external sources.

As these measures took effect, the famines gradually subsided, and the negative impact on the economy began to recede. It served as a valuable lesson for the leaders, emphasizing the importance of striking a balance between industrial expansion and ensuring the well-being of the population.

Another challenge that confronted Germania was the scarcity of manpower, which curtailed the nation's rate of growth. To counter this, William and Wellington-Schwarzenberg adopted a proactive approach by offering citizenships. This decision welcomed a steady influx of people, injecting new energy into the workforce and unlocking the untapped potential of skilled individuals from around the world.

As the population of Germania grew, so did its capacity for innovation and productivity. The diverse talents and expertise of its newly minted citizens contributed significantly to the nation's development, helping Germania overcome its manpower shortages and accelerate its progress on the path of prosperity.

### The end of the Empire of Germania

Towards the end of the Empire, relations between Germania and Vingard were very warm, Emperor William of Germania and King Appel of Vingard signed treaties of mutual benefit and assistance, starting economic and political integration. The process of integration ended up with both Vingard and Germania no longer being independent entities, and thus the creation of the Einvaldi Empire, in which William became Emperor.

## **Emperor of Einvaldi**

### Great Fire of Germania and the Whitaker Plan.

The events surrounding the destruction of Germania were undoubtedly a great setback for William and the Empire of Einvaldi. However, in the face of adversity, he displayed his resilience and determination to rebuild the city stronger than ever before.

Immediately after the city was burnt to the ground, William, along with his trusted advisor Peter Wellington-Schwarzenberg, began formulating ambitious plans for its reconstruction. Their vision was clear: to make Germania the unrivaled industrial capital of the world, equipped with cutting-edge infrastructure and automation.

Though the task was daunting, they persevered, and their efforts yielded significant success. While the entire city could not be fully restored, the industrial district was spared from the devastation, serving as a foundation for the revitalization process. The surviving industrial area became a beacon of hope, a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Einvaldi people.

During the challenging times of reconstruction, William acted with wisdom and foresight. To ensure the continuity of governance, he wisely evacuated himself and the Imperial Family to Siberkeld, designating it as the temporary capital until Germania could be fully rebuilt. This strategic move allowed him to remain connected with his subjects and rally their spirits in the reconstruction efforts.

With William's strong leadership and the united efforts of the subjects of the Empire, the reconstruction of Germania began in earnest. The people came together, devoting their skills and labor to construct new infrastructure and advance industrialization. Their shared determination and hard work infused the city with renewed vigor, gradually transforming it into a modern marvel that lived up to William's ambitious vision.

### Expeditions around the World and in the Nether

William's strategic decision to lead expeditions for expansion and resource acquisition proved to be a resounding success for the Einvaldi Empire. These ventures not only enriched the empire's coffers but also opened up new horizons for trade and exploration.

With each expedition, the Einvaldi Empire's influence expanded, as they secured territories and gathered valuable resources from across the globe. The acquisition of large amounts of gold and exotic materials like cocoa brought prosperity and abundance to the empire, bolstering its economic power and enhancing the quality of life for its citizens.

Additionally, the establishment of resource extraction missions near the border with the Jos Commonwealth showcased William's diplomatic acumen in resolving disputes through peaceful negotiations. The signing of the treaty to settle the Mesa Dispute demonstrated the Empire's commitment to maintaining harmonious relations with neighboring nations, fostering an environment conducive to further growth and cooperation.

The founding of Saharakeld, a resource extraction town, was a masterstroke that capitalized on the untapped potential of the eastern region. By strategically locating this town near the border with Jos, William not only ensured access to valuable resources but also solidified the empire's presence in the area, further cementing its territorial integrity.

The large-scale nether expeditions marked a pivotal moment in the empire's history. The successful extraction of vast quantities of netherite from the perilous Nether realm significantly boosted Einvaldi's economy and technological prowess. This newfound wealth and access to netherite, a rare and valuable material, positioned the empire as a key player on the global stage, gaining respect and admiration from other nations.

Through these bold endeavors, William's leadership and vision transformed the Einvaldi Empire into a formidable force to be reckoned with. The empire's prosperity and advancements not only elevated its standing but also enriched the lives of its citizens and facilitated cultural exchanges and diplomacy with other nations.

### Reformation Period

Recognizing the need for significant changes, William initiated sweeping reforms within the empire. One of the most significant changes was the dissolution of the traditional clan system, which led to the disbandment of the Kingdoms of Vingard and Germania, as well as the Jarls and their noble powers. This move aimed to foster a more unified and centralized governance structure for the empire.

In its place, William established a Semi-Constitutional Monarchy, a modern and progressive form of government that allowed for a more balanced distribution of power. Under this new system, an Imperial Cabinet was appointed, with the Prime Minister at its helm, responsible for overseeing the day-to-day affairs of the empire. The Imperial Senate, an elected legislature, was also established, providing a platform for the voices and representation of the people in the decision-making process.

With great care and foresight, William handpicked the new members of the government, ensuring that capable and dedicated individuals were entrusted with the task of implementing the reforms and steering the empire towards a brighter future.

During this transformative period, the city of Hjortby was founded, becoming a symbol of progress and growth. Its establishment was a testament to the empire's commitment to expansion and development, as well as William's vision for fostering new centers of commerce and culture within the Einvaldi Empire.

As the reforms took root, the Einvaldi Empire embraced a new era of governance, embracing more inclusive and participatory systems. The once-divided regions of Vingard and Germania were now united under a single banner, fostering a sense of unity and camaraderie among the people.

### The Great Winter War

#### Retreat and Reorganization

On the 27th of Aresion, 8 ATP, the State of Walterstan launched a surprise attack on the unprepared Einvaldi Empire. In response, William's government and military forces, led by Peter Wilhelm Wellington-Schwarzenberg, quickly retreated to Hjortby to regroup and fortify their defenses.

Even amidst the turmoil of Germania falling, William displayed exceptional leadership. With the unwavering dedication of the Imperial Guard, he safely evacuated his beloved family, loyal guards, and cherished Whitaker Family heirlooms to the secure haven of Hjortby. Additionally, he took the strategic step of halting industrial activities in Germania to safeguard valuable assets.

Taking command of the Imperial Armed Forces in Hjortby, William and his trusted cousin, Peter Wellington-Schwarzenberg, led their troops with courage and unity. Their resilience and skillful strategy culminated in a hard-fought victory, successfully repelling the invaders and safeguarding the Einvaldi Empire against adversity.

#### Counter-Offensive

Following the decisive victory at the Battle of Hjortby, Emperor William displayed his unwavering determination to reclaim Germania and Siberkeld. With the majority of Walterstan's Armed Forces incapacitated, the counteroffensive encountered little resistance, allowing the Einvaldi forces to swiftly retake the cities.

In a strategic move to ensure Walterstan's government couldn't regroup and pose further threats against Einvaldi, William ordered Scottarius Malus to lead a small division. Their mission was to raid Leliweinsk's ammunitions depot, neutralize their means of production, and occupy the area to prevent any escape or future hostilities.

Under William's astute leadership and Scottarius Malus' guidance, the raid was executed with precision, effectively crippling Walterstan's ability to mount further attacks. The decisive action secured a lasting peace for Einvaldi, ensuring the safety and prosperity of the empire while thwarting any potential harm from Walterstan in exile.

#### The Battle for Walterstan

With the successful conclusion of William's counteroffensives, the newly formed Imperial Navy, led by the capable Grand Admiral Schwarzenberg, played a pivotal role in transporting William's army to the coast of Walterstan. This strategic maneuver allowed them to launch a bold and daring offensive, storming the enemy's beaches with determination and resolve.

As they advanced towards the heart of Walterstan, William and his forces quickly laid siege to the enemy's capital. Fueled by the memory of Siberkeld's burning, they fought with a fierce determination to bring justice and avenge the past wrongs inflicted upon Einvaldi.

In a final act of retribution, the Walterstani capital was met with a resolute response. William's forces delivered a powerful blow, scorching the city as a symbolic act of retaliation, sending a clear message that the Einvaldi Empire would not stand idly by in the face of aggression.

#### Armistice and Peace

After Walterstan's unconditional capitulation to the Einvaldi Empire, William and Peter acted swiftly to establish peace provisions. However, in their haste and perhaps driven by the emotions of the conflict, the terms they decided upon were harsh and punitive.

Under the agreed-upon peace plan, Walterstan was to be occupied, and they were burdened with the responsibility of providing reparations to the Einvaldi Empire in the form of forced labor, among other severe conditions. In hindsight, William came to realize that these terms were a grave mistake, as they only fueled animosity and resentment among the Walterstani people towards Einvaldi.

Acknowledging this misstep, William expressed regret over the consequences of the peace plan. The harsh terms imposed upon Walterstan did not foster reconciliation or understanding between the two nations; instead, they sowed the seeds of discord and hatred. This acknowledgment served as a reminder of the importance of compassion and empathy in forging lasting peace and promoting goodwill among nations.

### Post-War Era

During the post-war reconstruction, Emperor William took charge of leading the acceleration of economic development and collaborated closely with Peter Wilhelm Wellington-Schwarzenberg to plan the implementation of the second set of reforms, which were scheduled for execution in the coming months.

With a relatively stable era prevailing, William prioritized his family affairs while entrusting the execution of his plans to his capable government. This approach allowed him to strike a balance between his duties as a ruler and his responsibilities as a family man.

As part of his efforts to shape the future of the Einvaldi Empire, William founded the city of Saharakeld, a testament to the Empire's expansion and growth. Additionally, he embarked on the ambitious Greater Einvaldi Railway Project, assuming the role of Chief Engineer, while Peter Wellington-Schwarzenberg took on the role of Chief Designer. Together, they worked tirelessly to realize their vision for a modern and interconnected transportation network, promoting progress and connectivity within the Empire.

### Era of Turmoil

During the post-war reconstruction, a new influential group, known as the Hjortby Clique, began gaining power in the government of Einvaldi. Scottarius Malus emerged as a prominent figure, assuming the role of Security Minister. However, their rise to prominence was marred by multiple terrorist attacks in Germania during 4 ATP leaving the cause and perpetrators shrouded in mystery.

The growing chaos and instability played into the hands of the Hjortby Clique, allowing them to consolidate almost full control over the government. In response to the escalating situation, Einvaldi took the drastic step of completely closing its borders, seeking to protect itself from potential threats.

Amidst the Clique's ascent, the once-powerful Imperial House of Whitaker and its Cadet Branch, House of Wellington-Schwarzenberg, suffered significant weakening. Eventually, a Palace Coup led by Scottarius Malus on the 2nd of Aphrillion*,* 2 ATP led to the removal of Peter Wilhelm Wellington-Schwarzenberg from power, further unsettling the nation, and bringing the Hjortby Clique into full power.

Following Peter's removal, all of his planned reforms were carried out under his former Chancellor, Ziah Hammond, although he was later fired too. The impact of the political upheaval was far-reaching, leaving Emperor William in a precarious position as he was placed under house arrest, becoming totally powerless and forced to act as a puppet.

After Chancellor Hammond was removed, Scottarius Malus and the Hjortby Clique began a totalitarian regime, and begun a war of destruction, whilst William was largely powerless and couldn't stop it.

William instructed Peter Wilhelm Wellington-Schwarzenberg, shortly after he was removed to establish a new country, build alliances, and eventually liberate Einvaldi from the totalitarian grip of the Hjortby Clique. Peter also evacuated the Imperial Family out of Einvaldi.

### Escape from Imprisonment and the end of Einvaldi

Amidst the chaos of a world war sparked by Scoterbium's offensive of mass destruction, Einvaldi plunged into chaos. In a stroke of opportunity, Emperor William managed to escape his palace imprisonment. Avoiding public attention, he discreetly joined forces with Peter Wilhelm II. and his army.

Knowing that external forces believed him to be the orchestrator of the global conflict, William chose not to take command of the army openly, keeping his identity hidden. The coalition forces had demanded his execution based on false assumptions.

However, through the word of Peter Wilhelm II, the truth emerged. The coalition learned that William was innocent and had been forced to act as a puppet ruler. Their new target became Scottarius Malus, the true instigator of the war. As the coalition and Peter Wilhelm II closed in on Germania, Scoterbium faced his fate.

When William arrived in the war-torn city of Germania on the 20th of Aphrillion, 1 ATP, he took control of what remained of Einvaldi and formed a provisional government. In a moment of solemn resolution, he issued his final decree, dissolving the Empire on the 23rd of Aphrillion, 1 ATP, as well as beginning the Great Migration. He also announced the creation of the Neubritannian Empire, as Einvaldi's successor, which was officially formed on the 30th of Persephonion 1 ANP.

## **Personal Life**

Much of William's personal life remains shrouded in secrecy, carefully guarded from the public eye. What is known is that he is a devoted family man, blessed with two daughters and two sons. Vienna Elisabeth Janet, born on the 7th of Apollion, 31 ATP, and Athena Iris Alexandra, born on the 23rd of Artemision, 28 ATP, are his beloved daughters. George William Maximillian, the twin brother of Athena, and James Arthur Leopold, born on the 14th of Poseideon, 25 ATP, are his cherished sons.

In his leisure time, William finds solace in tinkering with machinery and conducting science experiments, a reflection of his curious and inquisitive nature. A passionate reader, he immerses himself in knowledge and learning.

One of his closest companions is his cousin Peter, with whom he shares intense games of chess and lengthy discussions about the Empire's politics. Together, they delve into the ancestral history of their families, unveiling long-kept secrets and enigmas, much of which remains concealed from the public eye.

On the 30th of Heraion, 32 ATP, in the magnificent Castle of Whitaker in Londinium, Ancient Britanniae, he publicly exchanged vows and married his beloved Elisabeth. The union was celebrated, and the future appeared radiant with the promise of enduring love.

However, tragedy struck when Elisabeth's life was tragically cut short. As she took a fatal bullet intended for him during a dance at the monthly ball, William's world was shattered. Overwhelmed with grief and guilt, he desperately tried to save her, but her life slipped away in his arms. Consumed by remorse and anger, he blamed himself for her demise, as the bullet was meant for him alone, and Elisabeth was an innocent victim.

In the aftermath of her death, something changed within William. His powers, once only glimpsed in their infancy, now burgeoned with newfound intensity. The loss of his wife seemed to unlock a wellspring of cosmic might within him, elevating him to heights previously thought impossible.

From that point on, William's powers evolved rapidly, defying any preconceived notions of what was possible. He became an enigma, wielding cosmic forces with unprecedented might, yet bound by a sense of responsibility and a desire to use his power for the greater good.

## **Powers and Abilities**

William's powers emerged early in his childhood, earlier than most people in his family. He had an affinity for some of the more advanced and potentially dangerous classes of magic, a fact that was made evident when he obtained the title 'Grand Sorcerer' by being within the highest power class on the Universal Magical Power Index. While some family members expressed fear and reservations, particularly his cousin Peter Wilhelm II Wellington-Schwarzenberg, who cited the dark history of their ancestor's destructive powers, William acknowledged the potential dangers. However, he was determined to harness and master his abilities responsibly to prevent any calamities.

As the years passed, his powers underwent a remarkable evolution. He delved into the depths of his mind arts, unraveling the intricacies of thoughts and emotions. With conscious choice, he learned to manipulate cosmic symphonies, creating illusions on a universal scale that captivated even the mightiest beings. Embracing his celestial lineage, he commanded the powers of cosmic elements and shaped matter down to its subatomic essence.

The boundless energies of the cosmos became his to control, allowing him to warp reality and transcend space and time. Despite the inherent dangers, William embraced the journey of self-discovery and growth, attaining heights once deemed impossible.

Throughout his evolution, his interactions with others played a crucial role. Elisabeth's unwavering support and love encouraged him to explore and understand his powers. At times, the guidance of family and trusted friends helped him navigate the complexities of his abilities, while the cautionary tales of the past served as a constant reminder of the responsibility he bore.
