Pontus Maia

"If KJ is something of grandiose cleanliness, then I am the lowliest filth imaginable."

Alberveyich Pontisius Von Maia (18 January 771 – 29 December 1149), universally known as Pontus Maia, was the fifth Holy Emperor of the Empire of Kronis, King of the Kingdom of Sowedon Voi, and one of the most influential and strongest universal leaders of his time, responsible for unifying the majority of the universe under his own power for nearly three centuries.

An accomplished theologian, polymath, linguist, mage, and military leader, Pontus Maia expanded the Empire of Kronis tenfold and brought it into an era of flourishing prosperity and expansion, only being rivaled by the likes of the more intuitive Kuzon Jr. of the Great Empire. He is legendary for his works as a mage, earning the title of Sanctus Magna Magis, his own style of the Zexal that he worked centuries to perfect and influenced nearly all aspects of modern magic theory.

He is often studied in classical philosophy for his contributions and approach to modern thought. Maia is made a legend in the history and mythic traditions of both Kronu and non-Kronu cultures. He had become the measure by which military leaders compared themselves, and his strategies and tactics are still in use today. The rivalry between Maia and KJ was highlighted by significant competition and advancements in technology, military, and universal culture as a whole. Maia undertook the de facto title of Lord of Flies for his ideology of 'filthy space' and dirtier, less efficient methods in contrast to KJ's (though worked nearly as good). Coincidentally, he died only four years after his (despite being centuries older)--the deaths of two beloved figures in such a short time.

Overview
Maia was quite a private, disclosed, and arrogant figure, traits which reflected his empire. His grandfather, Teyhatus Waro, founded the Empire of Kronis and laid out its basic statutes and tenets. Him and his son Erionus followed with long, war-ridden reigns that never really got the empire anywhere. Little progress was made in centuries. However, Pontus had a different idea and vision. As soon as he became Holy Emperor in 910, an radical nationalist regime began and the empire began expanding culturally, militarily, and geographically. A separate state, the Kingdom of Sowedon Voi, was created by Maia in 1013 as a vessel of power and smaller, kept alternative to the bigger empire. This system proved to work greatly.

In the late 1000s, a new competitor joined the arena; massively successful and powerful Kuzon Jr., founder and Emperor of the Great Empire. There was significant competition between KJ and Maia, which became an all-out rivalry, which pushed a drive for KJ to create better work. Unlike KJ's ideology of secular republican efficiency, Maia (known as 'Lord of the Flies') was more dirty, edged, and raw. KJ's methods still were more successful in the long run. However, the two were often collaborative and friendly, a partnership that greatly benefited the universe and its direction.
