- Erissare

Erissare is a female Basileus that serves as the Imperial Grand Mandator for former Basileus-controlled space after Imperator Tyranus died in an attempted coup against the Emperor. Erissare is popular with her people, but is seen as a villainous pain in the tail for many of her fellow Mandators due to her outspoken demeanor and tendency to dominate weaker peers with her more dominant personality.

As Grand Mandator, Erissare has a permanent residence on Orbispira, where she resides for most of the year, while often making an annual trip to the Basileus homeworld of Vasiliás in an attempt to connect with the "common folk". Erissare, unlike many Basileus, often tries to manipulate the lower echelons of society into supporting her while in private, she is a highly critical person who enjoys verbal abusing anyone in sight.

History

Early Life

Erissare was born in the year 46 BNE on the Basileus homeworld of Vasiliás to Dvottie-hunting parents. Due to her parent's exploits across the galaxy in the hopes of finding the fabled Alpha Dvottie, Erissare was often left in charge of her home where she spent her time caring for her younger brother. Due to the fact that her parents vanished for months on end, Erissare began to harbour deep feelings of resentment, especially toward her mother, who attempted to groom her daughter into following her parent's footsteps. On the eve of her twelve birthday, Erissare's father was killed when he was eaten by a rare, carnivorous Dvottie, splitting the family apart. Erissare decided to take her brother and travel the galaxy without their neglectful mother, though in later years the two remained reconnected.

Entering Politics

Erissare eventually returned to Basileus space where she made a name for herself as a sarcastic, spiteful and sly figure, thus earning her the respect and admiration of her people. During the Great Cyrannus War, Erissare remained on the Basileus homeworld where she helped Imperator Tyranus draw up plans for a Basileus-controlled galaxy once the war ended in their favour. However, the two later fell out by the time the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus was formed. As a high ranking administrator, Erissare was aware of the plot Tyranus forged against Antediluvian during the Dark Times, claiming that it didn't make any sense. When Tyranus was killed for his treasonous behaviour, Erissare organised a party to celebrate.

Grand Mandator

Soon after Tyranus' death, Erissare's popular standing helped in her ascension to Grand Mandator, replacing the Imperator. However, soon after the coup, Antediluvian removed the federal aspects of the Empire, eliminating the last vestiges of the Basileus, Corthrinus and Mortalitas empires, replacing them with the single Empire, which had unlimited control over its space, unlike before. Erissare claimed that the newfound power "made her feel alive" and decided to take up residence on Orbispira.

Physical Appearance

Erissare is a female Basileus with purple colouration on her gleaming scales, indicating that she is of the same ethnicity as Guolivian. She generally wears a stylish dress made of Dvottie feathers harvested from the same Dvottie that killed her father, with prominent shoulder blades and an adorning headdress made using the head of a Paisti. However, Erissare only wears this headdress if she seeks to un-nerve political enemies or nearby children.

Personality and Traits

I'm engorged with exuberance and ticklish toxins.

- Erissare

Erissare is a vindictive, treacherous, sinister, vain, cruel and unscrupulous woman who only cares about two things in life; the pursuit of more power and her younger brother. Despite being a loyal Imperial, Erissare is not above breaking rules and regulations that work against her climb to the top, though unlike Tyranus, she would never dream of going against the Emperor. That said, one of Erissare's hobbies is verbally abusing fellow Mandators, hugely embarrassing some but entertaining others.

Many people who know her claim that one of her talents is holding grudges to unhealthy levels, however, she is known to ignore these from time to time if the opportunity occurs. However, Erissare is very loving toward her younger brother, who was the unfortunate victim of a stampeding Dvottie herd, leaving him unable to fend for himself. Erissare visits and cares for her brother as often as she can, claiming that she doesn't trust droids to do it for her. Her brother claims that Erissare is truly a kind and loving person, she has just yet to find the right person.

Erissare's sharp wit, quick tongue and tendency to speak in the third person make her one of the most popular Mandators in the Empire.
