Anarion

This article or section is a work in progress. The information below may be incomplete, outdated, or subject to change.

Anarion is the current Emperor of the Imperial Federation. Born in 1701 AN as Anarion Masamune Sasuke Benimaru von Adrestia and initially crowned as Prince Masamune IV, he is a direct descendant of Nobunag'an IV of Ralgon via the House of Ral and its cadet branch in the House of Adrestia, founded in 1675 by Prince Masamune I.

Having taken the throne in 1705 AN just before his fourth birthday, his entire reign until his 21st birthday was under the regency of the Hawkins Family, the Dukes of Gondolin, acting on the advice and consent of the Imperial Senate. While the Emperor was able to exercise soft power over time during the Regency due to his status, this has been blunted by his somewhat eccentric personality combined with his minority. In efforts to calm his more wild-ish tendencies, the Imperial Senate in consultation with the Regency Council attempted to find him a suitable bride on time for his 18th birthday, or ideally before he could finish university studies abroad and subsequently take the throne in his own right. As of 1718, those efforts failed.

On 12.II.1720, he married Qasima Çakar. As such, he automatically became a Knight of the Holy Lakes.
