Being a military man, Caras' first move as emperor was obvious.
"TO WAR!"
The enemy: the Persian empire, a bitter rival of the Romans.

Caras took his two advisors and Numerian with him, leaving his other son, Corinus, in charge.
"Does that mean I get to do whatever I want?"
"NO!"

The campaign was successful, the Persian empire...
"HUZZAH!"
"Let's just leave him."

"I found the emperor! He's DEAD!!"

"HOW?!?"

"Uhh... Bolt of lightning? Maybe?"
Yeah, right.
