Tarkuus (pronounced tar-KOOS) is a millennia-old vampire and the ruler of the undead empire of the same name. For roughly the last thousand years, Tarkuus has sequestered themselves in their private research city of Vuth Nalzek.
Description
Tarkuus' appearance has varied greatly over time. Though they took of the form of a feminine elven vampire as of their last public appearance, this has not been the case across their entire history. Tarkuus has seemingly always been a vampire, but with a greatly varying appearance, switching ancestries, sexes, and physical ages many times. Tarkuus has not been public about the details of their form of existence, though some suspect that they aren't a vampire at all but rather some other type of undead, or perhaps even multiple vampires that have taken the same identity.
Personality
Despite their position as one of the most influential and powerful figures in the world, a status they have held for thousands of years, Tarkuus is said to have a very understated personality. Reserved, quiet, and patient, Tarkuus' temperament has been a surprise to many who have met them, both foreign diplomats and the empire's own administrators.
Background
Born sometime in the later years of the second millennium, Tarkuus has seen much change in the world. Originally hailing from the land now known as Kea Racha, Tarkuus was exiled after attempting to stage a coup with the raised corpse of a former ruler. Little else is conclusively known about Tarkuus' early life, roughly five thousand years ago. At some point after their exile, they began to gather various undead from around the world and organize them into the empire to which they would give their own name.
Current activities
Though Tarkuus has rarely been seen in public for centuries, in the years prior they spent much time actively ruling their empire of the dead. Tarkuus holds absolute authority in the Eternal Empire, though in practice all leadership is delegated to the their cabinet.
Since Y8710*, Tarkuus has remained within their private city of Vuth Nalzek. Surrounded by mindless undead servants, construct assistants, and a great number of specialized libraries and laboratories, Tarkuus spends their time deep in their studies. None aside from their cabinet or those personally invited are permitted to visit, and even those bringing requested supplies are required to leave them a distance away from the city.
