His Imperial Majesty, Defender of the Faith, By the Grace of God, Maximilian V, Emperor of Hulstria was the last Emperor of the Empire of Hulstria. His assassination by Gao-Showa extremists in 2117 sparked the "Great Dark Period", plunging the country into a civil war, and decades of anarchy in the Hulstrian Empire. It was not until 2198 when the chaos formally ended and when the Rothingren-Traugotts would be restored under the Holy Gishoto Empire when the Hulstrian lands finally united to form a government.
