Name: His Royal Highness King Pacian IX
Appearance: A slightly crooked figure in a flowing, luxurious red robe that hides his form. Embroidered into the front-left of the robe is his coat of arms, which is a multicolored shield holding a great many designs, topped with the image of a crown and flanked by black eagles wearing gold regalia. When his cloak opens, you see he has a thin and hunched body dressed in rich clothes, with a gold-hilted sword strapped to his side. His hands, which perpetually clasp the front of his robe, are pale and bony. His face, which emerges from the top, is thin and angular. He has wispy white hair and a long mustache. His head is topped by a gold circlet, relatively plain and undecorated but for a band of silver at the base. His eyes are sunken and cold.
Spheres: Primary: Authority. Secondary: Precious metals, monuments.
Additional info: The ruler of an absolutist kingdom of another universe in eras past, Pacian rose to Godhood slowly and through bitter struggle. In his life, he forged his strong centralized kingdom from fractured feudal lords, climbing from a small princedom to rule the entire region. Fearing that his impending mortality would bring a collapse of his realm, he pleaded to the gods to grant him immortality - and for once a god answered. Made immortal, he ruled for another hundred years, before being overthrown as an enlightenment of republican ideals swept his nation in the wake of economic collapse. As his neck was severed by the falling guillotine blade, his consciousness remained immortal and refused to die - immortality saved him, and his mind fled the universe. It began accumulating power, learning slowly the ropes of multiversal spiritualism, building Pacian anew from energy bought about by careful application of scant influence. Now fully restored and more powerful than ever, the dead king has become a god.
