The year is 1180AD and Ominis Gaunt is now Emperor of Japan and China after embracing his inner Gaunt and accepting his magical prowess for the dark arts. He decided to relocate out of the UK to avoid conflict with his older brother, Marvolo, and lives the life of wealth, power and glory. His rule is similar to the great Genghis Khan, he is very powerful and has a united Asia under his empire. While he can be brutal towards his enemies, he is very fair to those he deems worthy.
