Emperor Julianus VII, most recent and currently youngest ruler of the Drakari Celestial Imperium, in the short period of time since his coronation, has made being a friend and champion of the common citizen regardless of species the focus of his rule. Early Life Born within the medcenters of the Imperial capital roughly three years before the rest of his clutch to then-Crown Prince Tiberius IV and his wife Septimia, Julianus VII was believed by his parents, both devout followers of the Imperial pantheon and the teachings of the namesake of their House, to be destined for greatness, though they were unsure of what that destiny may be. Like many youths within the Imperium, Julianus led a life of comfort and safety, generally untroubled by the unpredictability of the galaxy, though his incredible curiosity and ceaseless hunger for knowledge led him to excel in his schooling and learning the responsibilities that the Emperor, Senators, and various officials. Son of the Martyr Prince Before long, however, tragedy would soon find its way into the young Drakari's life. Around his fiftieth year, still quite young for his venerable species, the Emperor's beloved father fell victim to an accident whilst in interstellar transit in Warp Space. As his ship's Warpshielding inexplicably began to fail, Tiberius heroically moved to shield his fellow passenger's with his own body, exposing his eyes to the swirling void beyond the viewports. Whilst his guards and guests were spared, the then-Crown Prince's psyche shattered by what he allegedly witnessed, collapsing upon return to Realspace into a screaming, horrified heap on the deck plating. Ascension of the Reluctant Son With his father's tragic descent into madness, the young Julianus was devastated to see the kind and generous man he admired and looked up to for decades be reduced to the fearful, quivering wreck. Long-time associates of the Crown, including the Imperial Chamberlain Cassian, had noted that the light had seemed to fade from the young prince's life. It would take years of reassurance from his grandmother who had deigned to stave off abdication until her grandson came of age in his ninth decade. Political Views When it comes to the care and protection of the Imperial citizenry and the Protectorate States, Julianus, much like his predecessors before him, took up the mantle with dignity, honor, and with all the seriousness his status as Emperor demands of him. But despite that, he refuses to let that get in the way of interacting with the common citizen and touring the colonies to do his part in overseeing the construction and implementation of commerce and infrastructure, a practice long-honored by the House of Io. In his own words, "an Emperor who cannot share in the toil, labor, and meals of the common Drakari does not deserve to hold the throne." As such, he, much like the many representatives in the Imperial Senate, takes a keen interest in ensuring the welfare of the Imperium's citizens and clients, desiring to ensure the comfort and happiness of those he is sworn to lead and protect. Recent contact with foreign states, however, has emboldened the Young Emperor in his hopes of establishing firm friendships with these strange new beings. |
