August 14, 2647) was the reigning Emperor of Hulstria from 2606 until his assassination in 2647. Rudolph V was the son of Godric I of Hulstria and Princess Charlotte; his paternal grandparents were Klemens II of Hulstria and Princess Kristina. Rudolph V was married to Josephine I of Luthori and had one child with her, Archduke Heinrich; their son would rule over both Hulstria and Luthori, including Alduria and Trigunia later on, effectively uniting all four thrones in personal union.
