"Tremble before the majesty of the Emperor, for we all walk in his immortal shadow!"

- Visionary Cax Cethion upon seeing the true majesty of the Emperor

The Emperor goes by many names, God Emperor, His Divinity, Iesu, and many other's from an untold number of languages, planets, and peoples. No matter who or what you are within the boundaries of the Empire and far beyond his word is law, his word brings great mercy or brings great ruin, his word bring salvation or utter annihilation, and his word is considered divine.

It is known by very few in the Empire that the current Emperor was not the only Emperor long ago Emperor's lived 'normal' life spans and eventually perished but with each passing Emperor the desire to rule eternal grew. With each generation the life span of the royal family grew by the cybernetic and biological enhancement until one Emperor found the key.

It came in the form of a colossal machine known as a Sepculcrum a massive machine of cogs and gears stretching hundreds of feet this revolting machine kept the emperor in question alive for untold millennia and continues to do so, this Emperor is the longest ruling in all of Rin history ruling for upwards of 4 billion years kept alive by the Sepculcrum and a massive cyrus crystal.

The Emperor's powers are many from his ability to marshal trillions of soldiers and ships, to his psionic powers coming from both the cyrus crystal and the countless souls that worship him as a living god.

Let's discuss the living god part first. The Emperor was once a man until his 'ascendance' the practice of worshiping the Emperor was already a practice but it was worshiping the office not the Emperor himself (As emperor's eventually passed) but with each passing generation the Emperor remained the same, with each passing generation the memory of past Emperors faded, and as the as his reign continued the memory of other Emperors was completely lost save to the Emperor himself and trusted scholars.

He is seen as a living God one who holds the destiny of the the countless citizens of the Empire in his hand. Things we attribute to figures like Chuck Norris, saints, and world leaders are much the same things people in the Emperor attribute to their emperor. Claims of the Emperor destroying entire armies, smashing entire fleets, destroying entire heretical solar systems are common place. These legends are spread by both word of mouth and by the Emperor's preachers who place the Emperor as either an equal of the gods or the avatar of the gods.

The Emperor by himself has no power in the psiconic sense but with countless souls devoutly dedicated to his worship he has gained a powerful psiconic power one that makes some of the legends of his greet deeds feasible. Throughout the Empire massive statues are dedicated to his honor, throughout the Empire countless names praise his name, throughout the Empire his power is known.
