Piraeus (emperor)

Emperor Piraeus, Ruler of Seleucar, was the eldest son of Emperor Nicator of the Seleucarian Empire, and thus his heir apparent to the throne. Public relations surrounding him waned dramatically before he even ascended to the position at his father's death, as Piraeus had already vowed publically to continue Nicator's work in marshalling a great army to combat the prophesied Black Wave - an act seen by the majority of the populace as a source of needless, even cruel, taxes and rules, all for the sake of jumping at shadows. However, it was during his reign that the Black Wave did indeed lash out, initiating the terrible War of the Deeps, and had Nicator and Piraeus not pushed their nation so persistently, it is doubtful the forces of the surface world would have triumphed.
