Mortis Mercator, known by the Imperial Name of Kaiser Mors V began his reign by killing the still living, though deposed, Kaiser Letifer III due to his ineptitude and inactivity, and for allowing Mahamantot to take over the Golden Mango Throne. Next he granted amnesty to Mahamantot for claiming the throne. Further, Mors V began yet another Shirerithian revival attempt known as The Great Consolidation.
Kaiser Mors V, was the first modern kaiser to make use of an Imperial Cypher. In Elwynn, he is infamous for being the one naming Harald, High King of Stormark, as Duke of Elwynn – beginning more than a century of Vanic influence and corruption on the Benacian continent and on the poor country of Elwynn.
In Imperial Decree 275 Kaiser Mors V appointed Jacobus Loki, Duke of Yardistan as his steward. Jacobus Loki sought to succeed him as Kaiser Loki II, but, in the end, Hesam Jahandar took on the throne and was acclaimed as Kaiser Hasan I.
It was the last wish of Mors V that the Imperial Charter be reinstated, and it was to this task that he was going when he was killed by a band of escaped mental patients in 7.X.1537. This wish was fulfilled by his Steward by Imperial Decree 279.
