Emperor of Thodron

The Emperor of Thodron, also known as the Empress of Thodron in the case of a female incumbent, and also referred to simply as the Emperor or Empress (Imperial Standard: Imperator Thodroni or Imperatrix Thodroni), is the monarch of the Imperial State of Thodron. The Emperor's rule is bound by a constitution which limits his powers in government to ratifying laws and appointing officials such as the consuls, among others.

The lineage of Thodronese Emperors traces back to Mellegius I, the legendary founder of both the Empire during the Age of Anarchy. Mellegius captured Thodron in 2681 ME, the same year that the office was founded. The Empire would remain an absolute monarchy until 4570 ME when Emperor Ioannes III was assassinated and senator Quintus Marcellus took power as Chancellor of the Imperial Senate. New laws were created that drastically changed life in the Empire for the better, one of which restricted the incumbent monarch under a constitution that limited what the Emperor could do in government.

The chancellery has been abolished following the civil war, with the Empire being headed by the consuls as a replacement. The Emperor or Empress still acts under a constitution, however.
