Belharza the Emperor - concept-art by Michael Kirkbride

Sketch of Belharza by Michael Kirkbride[OOG 1]

Belharza, also known as Belharza the Man-Bull, was the second Emperor of the Alessian Empire. He was the son of Alessia and Morihaus, and Morihaus was said to be a minotaur. As a result, Belharza was sometimes referred to as a "man-bull" due to being a mix of Nede and Minotaur.[OOG 2]

History

Belharza as a child[OOG 1]

Belharza was born sometime during the early First Era, as the firstborn child of Alessia and Morihaus.[OOG 1]

In 1E 266, after Empress Alessia was transformed into the first Cyrodilic Saint by Shezarr, he was crowned as the second Emperor of the Alessian Empire. It is said that during his reign as Emperor, there were several Ayleids ruling in Malada.[1]

Belharza fathered a child named Ami-El. After a 56-year reign, he died in 1E 322, with his son succeeding him as the next Alessian Emperor.[2]

Trivia

  • Rare private letters between him and his mother Alessia are held in The Library of Dusk.[3]
