Darius Wick

Once a simple miner like every man in his family before him, Darius would later become known as "Darius the Godkiller" for undeifying the elven god Ithirae - which he then had burned - and the merchant god Omhal.

After getting inspired by the stories of Querynn Ilfaeth, Darius called out to the poor and the downtrodden to take down Omhal and the Prosperwind Cartel that ran the human cities in Altea.

When the Undivine War ended, the human cities were without leaders. To avoid chaos, Darius took the position of emperor, a position that had previously not existed. Initially the position was meant to be temporary, and his decisions were to be made by a council of selected scholars with suitable expertises, but soon Darius grew comfortable and dismissed the council.

He reinstated a trade cartel that would control the human cities, under the name of the Brightwick Syndicate.

Despite many assassination attempts made on his life by former trade lords and vengeful elves, Darius lived to be 102 years old, dying on his bed, surrounded by his seven sons and three daughters.
