The name Anastacius means “resurrection.”

This meaning reflects both his narrative role and the way his existence continues to haunt the empire even after his supposed death.

Anastacius is the former emperor of the Obelian Empire and the son of the former emperor’s principal wife.

Because of this, he was the legitimate heir and held a higher political status than his younger half-brother Claude, whose mother was not the principal empress.

He is the elder half-brother of Claude de Alger Obelia, and their relationship is central to his story.

He is also the biological father of Jennette, tying him directly into the next generation of imperial politics.

In official imperial records, Anastacius is described as a mad tyrant who was overthrown and killed by Claude.

Publicly, he is treated as a dead former ruler, his reign remembered as an era of oppression and cruelty.

In his childhood, Anastacius was caring and attentive, especially toward Claude.

Despite the difference in their mothers’ status, he looked after Claude and maintained a good sibling relationship with him.

However, his environment gradually poisoned this bond.

Influenced by his mother’s intense hatred toward the former emperor’s concubine (Claude’s mother), Anastacius began to internalize resentment and hostility.

As he grew older, Anastacius developed a deep inferiority complex toward his exceptionally talented younger brother.

Feelings of jealousy, frustration, and wounded pride accumulated, slowly twisting his once-kind nature.

These negative emotions made Anastacius vulnerable to the influence of Aeternitas, a powerful spiritual entity.

Aeternitas exploited his inner turmoil and used him as a vessel, further amplifying his hatred and paranoia.

Under this dark influence, Anastacius came to resent and fear Claude, seeing him less as a brother and more as a threat.

The corruption pushed him down a path where personal bonds and past affection were overshadowed by obsession and envy.

Driven by hatred and manipulation, Anastacius committed atrocities that destroyed any chance of reconciliation.

He killed Claude’s mother, the former emperor’s concubine, striking directly at the person Claude loved and trusted most.

He then took Claude’s fiancée for himself, turning what should have been Claude’s future happiness into another source of humiliation and pain.

These acts completely shattered their remaining brotherly ties and solidified Claude’s hatred.

Eventually, Anastacius faced the consequence of his actions.

Consumed by rage and betrayal, Claude drove a blade through his chest and killed him, seizing the imperial throne in the process.

After his death, Anastacius was remembered and officially recorded as a cruel, tyrannical emperor who had to be removed for the sake of the empire.

This narrative became the accepted public history of his reign and its bloody end.
