Adrianna Vici

Adrianna Vici is the ruling Empress of the Imperial Empire. She ascended the throne after the assassination of her cousin, Titus Mede II in 4E 201. She is the younger sister of Vittoria Vici, who was also assassinated in the plot to kill Titus by the Dark Brotherhood.

History
Born on the 26th of Rain's Hand 4E 169 in the city of Chorrol, she has always been a noble due to her family's relation to the Medes. For most of her life, she was mostly irrelevant to politics, which she was not interested in, nor was she interested in running the East Empire Trading Company with her sister in Solitude. She sought to inherit the family villa in the countryside of Cyrodiil.

Assassination of Vittoria and Titus Mede II
In 4E 201, the Dark Brotherhood was seeking to gain prominence once more, and so they set in motion the plan to kill the Emperor Titus Mede II. In this plan, it required the death of Vittoria Vici to lure the emperor to Skyrim. Vittoria was assassinated at her wedding, Adrianna was unable to go due to her isolationism from the rest of her family, claiming she would be unable to make the perilous journey to Skyrim for a wedding. After the assassination of Titus Mede II, the Elder Council needed to find an heir immediately without causing a potential civil war. Only Adrianna and her younger cousin Antiochus Mede were viable for the throne, however Antiochus was far too young, being only 12 years old; and so on the 4th of Evening Star 4E 201, Adrianna Vici was crowned Empress of the Imperial Empire.
