Kaiser Wythe (Johnathan Nelson Wythe II, born in the Green, 1573, died at Raynor's Keep, 1591 aged 18) reigned as kaiser 1589–1591 and Duke of Goldshire 1589–1591. Steward of the Imperial Republic under Kaiser Ayreon II in 1589.

He immigrated to Shireroth with his grandfather (and name sake) along with his greater family in 1586. The Wythe family quickly rose to prominence. In 1589, after the death of the grandfather Johnathan Nelson Wythe, recently become Duke of Goldshire, Benjamin Bartholomew Wythe (son of Johnathan I, father of Johnathan II), was made heir to the Dukedom. Benjamin was also made Steward of Shireroth and heir to the throne. At this point, Johnathan II moved with his father to Shirekeep, where he developed a friendship with the similarly aged Kaiser Ayreon II. Tragedy struck, however, when Benjamin was killed in a skiing accident just a few months later. Johnathan immediately inherited the estate and titles. As such, the Kaiser honoured his agreement with Johnathan's father and made Johnathan Steward and heir to the throne too.

A month later, the Kaiser abdicated and defected to Free Elwynn. Johnathan ascended to the Golden Mango Throne, aged 16, as Kaiser Wythe. His early reign was relatively quiet. As he succeeded to the Mango Throne quite young, he spent the first several years of his reign learning how to govern.

Upon moving to Shirekeep, he immediately fell in love with one of the maids, Abigail Margaret Smith, in Raynor's Keep. When hearing of her pregnancy, he decided to marry her. Their triplets, Prince Montgomery, Prince Alexander and Princess Charlotte were born in late 1589 and were made princes of Shireroth upon their births.

In 1591, Kaiser Wythe I attempted to cross a road, against the advice of his bodyguards, for there was a red crosswalk sign. It was alleged that the Kaiser spoke the words "I am Kaiser, traffic rules do not apply to me", before he was struck by a small car. He immediately lost consciousness, and died within minutes.

He was succeded by his friend and steward, Kaiser Yardistanislaus, who decided that the death of the young kaiser did not necessitate an investigation. His son Prince Montgomery inherited the titles and estates related to the Duke of Goldshire.
