Darius Milltongenet

Darius Milltongenet (3E 456 - 3E 514) was a prominent politician near the closing years of the First Imperial Empire. He served on the Royal Council for many years, serving as a duke under Gregorios and Aglicus III. After the fall of the Phillipos Dynasty, he would become an integral member of the Council, until Nero Ullia would claim the throne. Along eith most of the council, he was exiled, and supported the Loyalist movement during the Ullian War of Succession. When the war was nearing its close, and seemingly the Royalists had won, Emperor Nero was killed in an assassination attempt, dealing a heavy blow to the Royalists. Nero's infant son Lycus the Early would be crowned emperor, but the infant emperor would contract a disease, and unexpectedly died. The Royalists, now with now cause to continue the war, had to give up, ending the war.

Second Interregnum Period
After the death of Lycus and the end of the war, the reformed council would elect Milltongenet to be the Great Steward, with a term of five years. The task of brunging stability to the empire was great, and Darius was not adept at the task. He was often known for hosting lavish parties, and not focusing enough of the infrastructure and economy of the failing empire. This would result in a short civil war that would also bring in the foreign Orvar Blackeye and his clan of raiders. The resulting war would last for 2 years, with Orvar claiming the throne, and arresting Darius Milltongenet.

Death
Milltongenet was imprisoned under the rule of the new emperor Orvar Blackeye, and after a year of imprisonment, Orvar had Darius executed publicly, with his body burned and dumped in the ocean to never be recovered.
