Hit some serious conversation tags and should probably get to bed

Verstael is adamantly defending the Emperor

Don't smear his good name

If only we got more to work off of than descriptions

Make shit up with mad abandon if canon doesn't give you anything to contradict you. B|bb

lol

Well, I have certain things I'm going with based on what little I have

Just going to say his parents are long dead because of war and plague if it ever comes up

And while it doesn't seem like he was ever the cuddly type, going to say the fact that he saw a lot of people die didn't help him with getting attached to people...

Things like that

For the Emperor I might need to make up some things too

Given that we're just told that he was admired as a selfless ruler

Ahhhh yes, exposition backstory and personality because they can't be bothered to fit in actually showing anything about someone to make their plight actively tragic.

Yup

We also do know that he loved his granddaughter

Not sure how he felt about his son lol

But he loves the kid that came after that at least
