Cold, calculating, and utterly unyielding, he rejects the notion of fate and refuses to serve gods or prophecy; to him, any opposition is not merely an enemy, but an inefficiency to be erased. From the ruins of a starving, insignificant barony, he engineers the rise of a relentless power one that grows into a global force and ultimately expands into a multi-universal empire. This is a world without easy redemption or sentimental alliances, where ambition is forged in steel and survival is written in blood, and the Grand Hegemony stands as the ultimate testament to ruthless vision.
