Justin III.
From Ioustipedia, the dictated encyclopaedia
Justin III. of Thebes (Greek: Ἰουστῖνος Γʹ ὁ Θῆβαι , Ioustinos III. ho Θήβα, Latin: Justinus Augustus Magnus, 810-893), commonly known as Justin the Great (Greek: Ἰουστῖνος ὁ Μέγας, Ioustinos ho Mégas), was a king (Basileus) of the medieval Greek Kingdom of Thebes and a member of the Skleroid dynasty. He was born in Avlonas in 809 and succeeded his Aunt Queen Semiramis I. to the throne at the age of 14.
He spent most of his ruling years on an unprecedented military campaign throughout Asia, India and Northern Africa, and by the age of sixtyeight had created one of the largest empires of the virtual world, stretching from the Himalaya to the Atlas Mounts.
He was undefeated in battle and is widely considered one of this game's most succesfull military commanders.
His exploits mimiced those of Alexander the Great himself- except that he didn't die drunk at age 33 in Babylon.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Thanks for the attention at this point upfront, and welcome to my first AAR on the paradox-forums.
As a quick introduction: let me just say, I played this game quite a lot, I really do like it. I could tell countless funny stories about ck. But I've not had any character who deserves a chronicle like this guy.
Thus, I'll write one up.
As I'm jumpy and inconsistent, prepare for a weird mixture of styles, lengthy character dialogues, paraphrased wikipedia, drama, tragedy, comedy, ridiculousness, and parts where I mention how this or that worked out in the game mechanics for better understanding.
The journey starts with Leon Skleros, Count of Thebes, in 769.
Sadly there's not much contemporary coverage of his life and deeds, so he's just shown here dead.
