The last Emperor of the Third Imperium. His murder emptied the Iridium Throne and started ten years of succession war.
Assassinated, along with his heirs. The war began that night.
// ON RECORD
An assassin's blade found him and his heirs on the same night. No claimant has been strong enough to take the throne since, and none willing to stop trying.

In a prison chapel on a black site at the edge of the Margin, a dying man named Ezra Cole claimed the blade was his.
