- Name: Dagmar Arcturus, Third of His Name, Ruler of the Empire of Thalesmere, Sovereign Lord of all humanity
- Gender: Male
- Race: Human
- Age: 45
- Height: 1.89 meters
- Faction: Empire
- Occupation: Emperor
- Skills: Expert duelist, a master of the fencing rapier
- Personality: Self-centered and intense, Dagmar the Third is a shrewd politician who's tactical genius is only eclipsed by his ruthlessness. A charismatic, calculated, patient and vengeful individual who strongly believes in the saying that the ends always justify the means.
- Lineage and Backstory: Eldest son of Radomar the Second and his wife, Edalina, Dagmar had a number of scandalous affairs in his youth, however all of that changed once he took the throne. After his father's death, Dagmar's ascension to the position of ruler of the Empire, was marked in bloodshed as he ordered the execution of his younger brother and sister, as well as having his former mistresses assassinated.
His dark deeds contrast heavily with his other actions as a ruler. He has invested heavily in his realm and his rule has been characterized by a noticeable increase in the quality of life of his subjects. Commended for his decision to introduce free education and healthcare in the Empire, Dagmar has also appointed numerous commoners into positions of power, often to the displeasure of the established noble families. Dagmar rewards traits such as ambition, creativity and intelligence and expects absolute loyalty and obedience, in return.
Both loved and hated, Dagmar the Third is one of the most accomplished rulers in the history of the Empire, however, he is unwed and a hunting accident in his youth, has rendered him sterile. As such, there is a distinct possibility that his death will bring with it a succession crisis which could plunge the Empire into civil war.
