Portrait of Kaiser Ari 0. Unknown artist, 1712 AN. The portrait was denounced as blasphemous in the Benacian Union, and occasioned scenes of violent disorder in Cerdist temples and outside the site of the Shirerithian embassy in Chryse.

Kaiser Ari 0 was the 65th kaiser of Shireroth for a little more than four months. He dressed up in dolphin skins and claimed to be a sentient dolphin hailing from the Duchy of Straylight. Imperial genealogists were certain he was a human of the Line of Ly'Technomaezj. Subsequently remembered as the divinely favoured Kaiser of the sea. This Kaiser received cultic worship at various intervals in Shirerithian history, but the practices were held to have been discontinued by the eighteenth century after Norton.

Contact with Babkha had infected him with a certain fondness for violence: He had a penchant for bathing in human blood, and at the end of his reign he roleplayed his own gruesome assassination (carried out by getting dipped into aqua regia). He was well-regarded in Babkha throughout his reign, laying the foundations for what would later become the Mango-Camel Pact. It is thought that he is the father of Kaiser Ari i

The nonstandard ordinal after his name has had a number of cultural explanations, but the real explanation is that people with too much experience of computing simply count from zero.
