Opilmaus Deuez

Opilmaus Deuez (15 June 1163 - 3 January 1262) was the third Emperor of the Great Empire (1217-62), succeeding Torr Kamikov and preceding Parmez Akdok. He was most popular as military commander of TGE's forces for 66 years, with remarkable achievement for his leadership during the.

His 44-year reign as Emperor is considered mediocre, in contrast to his two predecessors. Not a professional politician or lawyer, his propositions were often met with criticism, failure, or denial. It was within his tenure that the Post-Revolution era began taking a turn for the worst, with millions of space superpowers popping up and taking advantage of the reconstructing weak ones. His efforts to end this failed.

History
Opilmaus is of the Asc'rii race, one of many races of cat people that share a common ancestor, which inhabit Planet Kamura. He grew up in an orphanage before setting out for bootcamp at age 13.

Opilmaus led the Great Empire Military as Chief Commander (promoted by Emperor Kamikov was he was not a military person) from 1196 to 1262. He was a great, heroic, and seasoned leader, remarkable for leading hundreds of regiments at once. This was during the Kratt Wars period from 1198 to 1241, involving militant space alliances against post-Revolution reconstruction policies.

In 1217, upon the death of Emperor Kamikov, he was nominated for his successor. Deuez proudly stood and assumed leadership. His reign was filled with weak policies with little substance or effect. He resumed military leadership and ended the Kratt Wars, a major success. Opilmaus acknowledged his lack of political skill, and hired assistants to help him, but his efforts failed, as massive amounts of corrupt space relief organizations popped up and took advantage of possible Empire additions. Under his 50,000-Plan in 1233, he vowed to add at least that many new planets per year. It was a flop. He was considering resigning, before he died suddenly in 1262 at age 98, nominating no successor. It would become Parmez Akdok.
