Benedar II

Benedar of the House of Manoth, second of his name, was a Manothi Emperor around two-hundred years before the Brother's War.

Appearance and Character
Benedar was frail and stoop-shouldered, with a bookish personality. His enemies saw him as weak and lazy.

History
At sixteen, he was married to Sarai of Rizuvia, whom he loved dearly. After a number of miscarriages and stillbirths, Lady Sarai birthed the couple's only surviving child, Micah.

Around two years after the birth of his son, Lord Galbert Treedon rose in a rebellion against the Manothi Empire, it was subsequently put down by Ser Gabriel, Benedar's uncle.

Three years after the failed rebellion, Emperor Benedar II died of a sudden sickness. It is said that in her grief, Lady Sarai attempted to jump from the window of her royal bedchamber, however Ser Gabriel restrained her before she could do so.
