Card Lores:Emperor Dragon, Dragonic Sovereign

He is the current emperor of the Dragon Empire. Sovereign is like most emperors of the Empire; highly charismatic, an excellent general and warrior, obsessed with military might, and terrible at governing. In his youth, he often bullied his brother Mirazen for being studious and relatively disinterested in fighting. The previous emperor, their father, greatly favored him over Mirazen for being a superior warrior, and while Mirazen was shuffled off into a relatively out-of-the-spotlight position as a government official, Sovereign was made crown prince, and later, the emperor.

Dragonic Sovereign is the one who approved the plan of Dragonic Overlord rejoining active service as a member of the military, as a cadet of Ayanami. Despite Dragonic Overlord's past as a warlord who killed thousands of the Empire's citizens; indeed, the emperor that the Overlord murdered was Sovereign's grandfather. Sovereign, like so many others in the Empire, admire the Overlord for his martial might and his relentless pursuit of power, ignoring and downplaying his crimes in the process. Sovereign wants to restore Overlord's position as the idol and champion of the Empire, not realizing that the Overlord is no longer that type of person.

When the Jishin rebellion began, Sovereign was enraged; why would anyone rebel against, as Sovereign believed, the greatest nation in the world? Initially, Sovereign sent the full might of the Kagero army to crush the rebels, but as the rebels gained ground, first by summoning the Terra Dragons from the future, and then gaining the allegiance of Ayanami, Sovereign was frustrated more and more; in particular, he had honestly never expected for the Overlord, his role model, to turn against the Empire again. With no other option, the winged sovereign chose to take to the field.
