Description (Character)[edit]

Empress Elbet Osmanlia Aella, Spouse of Emperor Paulo III, Born: 1018, Died: 1053.[1]

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Elbet Osmanlia Aella is the daughter of a count in the Gushemege Sector. Barely 20 years old when she first met Emperor Paulo III, she was already an accomplished mathematician and economist. Her academic accomplishments caught the Emperor’s attention while he visited her homeworld, when the two enjoyed many hours discussing and quarreling over affairs of state before they recognized the stirring of personal affection.[2]

Lady Aella arrived on Capital for the first time in 1043, seven days before her marriage to the Emperor. She soon swayed the entire Imperium with her learning, sharp wit, personal charm, and beauty. The few years of their marriage were a brilliant time at Court, giving rise to important changes in policy as well as a whirl of merry social occasions centring on the ageing Emperor and his young wife.[3] The couple sired Strephon Aella Alkhalikoi, born on 202-1049, and his younger sister Lydia Aella Alkhalikoi, born on 266-1052.[4][5]

Empress Elbet died suddenly in 1053, under very mysterious circumstances at the Imperial Palace. Official investigations led to a finding of 'death by natural causes,' although rumours abounded that she had met with foul play. Suspicion fell upon the Emperor’s brother James, widely believed to be mentally unbalanced. Prince James withdrew from public life after that, and committed suicide later in the same year before he could be properly trialled for his involvement.[6][7]
