Sinsimaak, the Immortal Emperor

Sinsimaak is the Immortal Emperor of the Empire of Lacerto, and reigning from within the Golden Temple of Lacerto. Sinsimaak himself is a Cielodrak, or dragonkin, and has ruled the Empire for over three hundred years. As the highest authority in the Empire, he was among the first to sample the Elixir of Life, along with his Immortal Council of Salazaro.

Early Life
Sinsimaak was hatched in the early Stormdays to the Oj-Regul Sept, a family of low aristocracy in Lacerto. His childhood as the eldest is obfuscated by myth and conjecture, but scholars believe that Sinsimaak had a turbulent childhood marred by the fallout of political intrigue. His father was assassinated, possibly by a rival family, in year 26 of the Stormdays, and his mother is said to have gone into hiding. Sinsimaak, however, was up-jumped to a minor Lord and was left to manage the Oj-Regul affairs alongside with his younger siblings, Tiimema and Ruzaak.

Political Career
Within several years of his appointment as a Lord, Sinsimaak led the Oj-Regul Sept into a place of relative respect and influence. He was appointed to oversee military movements in the Spiral War, where his ability to maneuver troops in effective ways was credited with the defeat of Altawul-alram and his armies of Djinn and fey. Sinsimaak's success in this role led to further influence over the armies of Lacerto, including the Alchemists' Corps.

Under the cover of secrecy, Sinsimaak instructed the Alchemists' Corps to put all their attention into developing the Elixir of Life. It took several years, and in the meantime, Sinsimaak leveraged his control over the military to prepare for a military coup, seeking to overthrow the current emperor, Fortakaj Viir. Upon completion of the Elixir, Sinsimaak put his plan into action, deposing the emperor and claiming the throne for himself, citing his newfound immortality as grounds for his divine right to rule.
