God-King of The Empire Harbinger
God-King of The Empire Harbinger (a.k.a. Warmaster, Demon-God, The Outworlder, He Who Rules, Thronebreaker)
Harbinger is a god-like being of immense power, and mysterious past. No one is sure where he came from, no one understands what drove him or what forged him to commit the mass wars he waged, but he did, and does. Now the world bends to his will, and it knows it.

Tenets of Faith
The general tenets of the Church of Harbinger are as follows, as dictated by Harbinger himself, allegedly:
Hate deeply. Those who have wronged you in a way that harms you deserve retributions.
Conflict causes evolution. War, suffering, and death are a part of life and through these you and all beings may become more perfect.
Abjure the False Ones. The beings that reside in their crystal palaces upon the heavens are not gods worthy of worship, only charlatans amassing power akin to greedy dragons.
The strong rule. It is the right of the strong to dominate and conquer the weak, and it is the job of the strong to guide them into prosperity.
Holidays
One of the primary holidays in the religion is 'Conjunction Day'. This day is a celebration of when the final major empires of the world of Meria capitulated to Harbinger and his endless legions of The Immortals. During this day, children are often told stories of their gods awesome battles against the chaotic, greedy, and violent bickering nations of the world. Cities and towns across the Empire come together to host friendly competitions to paint a patriotic image that reminds them of the Empire, with the winners being sent to the Capital of the Empire where they compete against each other until one victor remains. The victor is then given an audience with the Emperor himself.
Another holiday is 'Fool's Death'. This day marks the anniversary of the death of the Material Planes greatest hero at the hands of Harbinger himself, Aa'karo Yvsa and his golden dragon Cyldrianaphos. A day of solemn remembrance that encompasses sorrow for the lost during the tragic wars of conquest that the Empire embarked upon. It is not sorrow for the righteous warriors who died on the side of Harbinger, but instead for the poor fools who fought against their new god.
Divine Goals & Aspirations
Harbinger wishes to amass all of creation under his purview, the loyal followers of his creed speak of a prophesized day known as 'The Encompassing', in which the armies of the material plane, under the control of Harbinger himself, will sweep across the planes and unite them under one banner of control, under the God of War.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
The personal history of Harbinger is unknown in its truth. He proclaims to be from another world like his subjects', but different in some ways. He dictated his childhood and how he endured a childhood and adolescence of punishment and abandonment by uncaring, and cruel gods, and how one day he was granted the power to change it, and he did. He was naive though, and mistakes were made, making it necessary for the God-Emperor to take his righteous crusade elsewhere, to this world.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Intellectual Characteristics

Morality & Philosophy
Harbinger has a staunch anti-god belief, he hates all forms of divinity with a passion that knows no bounds. He takes an extreme 'the ends justify the means' approach and understands the death and suffering he is causing, but truly believes that at the end of the day it will all be for the better. He is not cruel, not unnecessarily. He actually values his subordinates having families and lives, and sees it as a crucial thing for someone who works under him to have something to lose, to have those connections. Not as a threat, but as motivation for themselves. Lonely and selfish people care only for themselves
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
None are quite sure exactly what drives the Emperor in his mission, only that he is utterly dedicated to it for some reason, totally fanatical in the pursuit of his goals.

Reign
0 PFE - Current Date
Religious Views
Harbinger has an extreme hatred for all other divine beings. He sees them as parasites, leeching off of those who know no better and worship them, therefore further empowering them and suckling off more of their worship. It is a cycle that he wishes to break, utterly and completely, for only he is worthy of worship.
Social Aptitude
Harbinger dislikes social settings. For an emperor, he holds a renowned little balls and galas himself, always preferring to work through intermediaries and advisors who present for him.
Mannerisms
He is quiet until roused, at which point he becomes a raging inferno and will do whatever it takes to get his way.
Hobbies & Pets
No pets that are known, but he is said to be a reader.
Speech
His voice is a clear, dominant and loud baroque that rings in the minds of whoever hear it. It commands fear, respect, and obeisance.
Wealth & Financial state
Incalculable.
Harbinger. That is his only name. The current, first, and likely only reigning sovereign of The Divine Empire is a being unlike anything ever seen. Emerging 1000 years ago with an equally massive and mysterious army from seemingly nowhere, Harbinger began his wars of conquest. None could stand in his way, and quickly the Material Plane fell under his tyrannical control.
