Anastacius de Alger Obelia is the Emperor of the Obelian Empire, having taken over his deceased father a few years prior. He is considered to be very handsome. While highly competent at the role, he is very disinterest in matters of politics and governance, with rumours swirling around the courtiers about his strange habits. He is currently unmarried, but has a fiancée, Lady Penelope, who has been seen increasingly less in court these days. He suffers from occasional headaches.
