Emperor Riesstiu IV the Second, also known as Khaldeesh II, was the last Emperor of the Taiidan Empire (406 BHL-0 AHL) and certainly one of its most infamous. Throughout his reign Riesstiu seized more and more power, all the while orchestrating disastrous policies that would ruin what was left of the corrupt and declining Empire. Most notorious of these acts was the Kharakian Genocide and the heavy handed tactics used to quell both political and civilian dissenters at the start of the Taiidan Rebellion.
