Otto Black

Otto Olivander Black [January 2nd, 1859 - February 28th, 1822] born to Hiram Black and Rayna Elizibur, commonly known as Emperor Otto was Emperor of Bearstin from 1798 to his death on February 28th, 1822.

Otto, like his father Hiram, was an advocate for colonization and as such, is best known for his efforts in the New World and the subsequent destruction of a significant portion of the Bearstinian Navy in what is known as the largest disaster in Bearstinian Military history. Without a fleet to protect his supply ships and the colonies, the Bearstinians withdrew from the New World and focused on domestic expansion. After his death, Otto and the Admiral at the time, Admiral Smith-Jensen were largely blamed for the disaster.

After the disaster, Otto recovered his reputation by stabilizing the economy and opening up trade opportunities with local nations.
