Emperor Maximus II

Emperor Maximus II is the current Emperor of the Empire in the Age of Industry canon.

Biography
Maximus was born in 6E 130, as the heir to the throne. His father, Brutus VI, had two children, of which Maximus was the eldest. His sister, Tertia, was just a few years younger than him. When the two siblings were very young they often played together in the woods. When they were older Maximus, being the male heir, was taught to fight and hunt from a young age; he developed a very sharp tactical mind, and often led battles against Samarkand. He became quite well known as a very capable fighter, as well as being tactically brilliant.

When Maximus was 16, his sister Tertia was killed by a Samarkand assassin. Maximus went into depression for three years until he, by chance, picked up the trail of the assassin. After this he began to hunt the man who had killed his sister, and after five years of pursuing him across all of Tamriel finally found him. Maximus managed to kill the man, but when he returned to Brightwall discovered that in his absence Brutus had died.

He was made Emperor, and ruled with military prowess in mind. This belief in martial strength came from his days as a general.

When he was 26 he married Lucretia Lelindre, and when he was 30 they had a child - Marya. Four years later Lucretia died, leaving Maximus and Marya alone. In the following years Maximus waged several campaigns against Samarkand, but this lost any territory it gained fairly soon

In the year 6E 182 he gave clearance to the mysterious Project: Behemoth. His connection to it is unknown.

He, Jack Jackson, Elisa, and Marya travelled to Leyawiin in 6E 183 in order to stop the Resistance from getting to the Behemoth.

Trivia

 * In Mugicman66's original version of Age of Industry, the name of the Emperor was Kamodus X. I decided to change this, and make it Maximus, as a humourous reference to myself (Emperor Maximus).
