Emperor

Emperor is a job class that hailed originally from the New World. However, other people can be recognized as Emperor even without possessing the class.

Background
Based on how history regarded about Emperors in the New World, they are described as capable of ruling through means like fear. Life had gotten worse for adventurers in the Baharuth Empire after the ascension of their new Emperor.

There are different title variants to Emperor. For instance, title of the "Bloody Emperor" had come from the river of blood that had flowed when Jircniv came to power. The kind of Emperor that was renowned for staining his hands with blood. An Emperor who placed themselves above others needed to adopt an appropriately superior attitude. They couldn't afford to show signs of weaknesses in the face of one's subjects and enemies. In the Empire, some conference rooms from the VIP or Ministry of Magic are reserved for Emperors to access. The grand banquets are hosted by Emperors.

The Empire can imposed special taxes on nobles who opposed the Emperor and drained them of their money. If they refused to pay up, they would be would be charged with treason. In the end, the only difference was tightening the noose on their necks or killing them for expressing a wrong idea. Their nation's Magic Ministry was what past Emperors invest the most efforts in.

While so, it was noted people like Jircniv were born and raised as a candidate to be the next in line for the throne and ascend the rank of Emperor to lead a nation.

On the other hand, Pavel Baraja thought titles like Demon Emperor is only well-deserved if such person have command over large number of demi-humans and the terrifying disturbance they have caused.

Abilities and Powers
Being in a position of Emperor can bring fear to many of their subjects, but sometimes awed by others who think differently towards them. In this case, Jircniv was feared by the aristocrats while respected by the citizens. Though the title Emperor may varied for some, they are potentially capable of purging high-ranking people beneath them in power regardless of their social class. An example of the Emperor's authority was stripping away an aristocrat's wealth and revoking their nobility status. At the same time, Emperors can permit commoners to rise in status. The notoriety of an Emperor's tyrannical power extends to a neighboring country as the Re-Estize Kingdom to harbor hostility and fear towards people like Jircniv and Jaldabaoth.

In the Empire, Emperors are prone to threats like assassination. As a result, they usually surround themselves with security guards that are deemed as powerful servants to them against it. If rumors about someone's assassination attempt on the Emperor's life came to light, it can be assured that such person will be eradicated. An Emperor that ruled the nation command overwhelming military force to the point where no opposing noble can successfully overthrew him and are met with death. The only ones who don't oppose the Emperor's rule were those who pledged their allegiance to the Emperor from the bottom of their hearts, and thus it ended with the complete centralization of power in that highest position. Jaldabaoth was no exception to it while leading the Demi-Human Alliance.

Nonetheless, Emperors can appoint various roles and tasks like Commander to people they see fit for carrying out the job. They possessed a minimum degree of intelligence and had several trustworthy ministers who were tasked with assisting them on the job.
