Cleon IV: Generally believed to be responsible
for the murder of Empress Nicholle and
her immediate family, Cleon IV was a distant relation in the Zhunastu Dynasty
and based his claims to legitimacy on that. This interloper was the first
of the nondynastic emperors and kept the Moot
at bay by threats of violence against its members. Born in 423, proclaimed
emperor by the blackmailed Moot in 475, assassinated in 555. -emp
