Oze IV (Ozymandias Peet Humboolt Niit n Taag) is the current Count Palatine of Highpass. Oze IV became the pretender to the Highpassian throne at his father's death in 1698, and became the sovereign ruler of Highpass upon the victory of the monarchists over the Humanist regime in the Highpass Putsch. Unlike his predecessors under Shirerithian rule, he was the sovereign of Highpass between 1703 and 1715, when he resubmitted to Shireroth to ward off a possible democratic revolt. He still wields great personal power as a direct imperial subject of the Kaiseress.
He married Dina Wythe, daughter of Shirerithian steward Chrysostom Wythe, Count of Woodshire, and an heir to the Line of Wythe in an elaborate ceremony in Rhodondra on 12.II.1704. On 17.V.1704 the Passikraappaluts announced the pregnancy of Lady Dina. On 24.XV.1704 the Passikraappaluts announced the birth of the new heir apparent Ozymandias Jaas Peet Niit n Taag, displacing his uncle. On 2.XII.1733, the eldest daughter Isabella became heir apparent, at the death of Ozymandias.
Through his mother, he was second in line to the throne of Whales, which his maternal grandfather, Daniyal ibn Daniyal holds, until 1713 (whereafter he was pushed down to the 9th place). He is also Knight of the Holy Lakes.
In 1733, following the exchange of weapons of mass destruction between Shireroth and the Benacian Union, the comital family departed Highpass for the Lake District. Oze IV however remained to ensure proper government in Highpass. His son was killed in the bombing of Lichkeep on 2.XII.1733.
