Difference between revisions of "Dochuta Karsoth"

Revision as of 10:23, 17 June 2009

Dochuta Karsoth was an Amarrian and the former Court Chamberlain during the reign of Emperors Heideran VII and Doriam II. He continued to serve as Court Chamberlain following the death of Doriam II and served as the interim ruler of the Empire during the years until Jamyl I ascended to the throne.

Karsoth's rise to power as Court Chamberlain is currently unchronicled, but it was either due to his personal influence, cunning, political manipulation, and connections or the position of Court Chamberlain elicited a great change in his demeanor. By the time of he ran the Empire in absentia of the Emperor, he is a fat, vile manipulator with little regard for the Amarr religion. He is known to engage in sexual orgies[1], occasionally with underage participants. He is described as being an atheist at heart and cavorts with the Blood Raiders.

Karsoth was executed by order of Empress Jamyl I late in 110.[2]

History

Karsoth ordered the CVA alliance to retrieve the stolen Cross of the Sacred Throne Order.[3]

Following the assassination of Doriam II, Karsoth served as acting regent. He pledged to hunt down the assassin.[4] Despite this, when it was revealed that CONCORD knew the identities of the attackers, Karsoth remained quiet.[5] Additionally, he refused to confirm a leaked CONCORD memo naming a member of the Royal Khanid Navy as being responsible.[6] He also drew criticism for allowing non-Amarrians to investigate the matter.[7]

Following the attacks on the Bleak Lands by the Defiants, Karsoth's command of the Imperial Navy was called into question.[8] Reports claimed that the Navy mostly ignored his commands. In response to the attacks, Karsoth put pressure on the Minmatar Republic to act against the Defiants.[9]

When Uriam Kador made a public statement about the lack of momentum in electing a new Emperor, some took it as a challenge to Karsoth's regency.[10][11]

Following numerous clashes with Karsoth, several justices of the Theology Council went missing.[12] After several days of anticipation, Karsoth released a statement claiming the missing justices had attempted to have him assassinated.[13] During the speech, he laid blame on the slow progress of the Succession Trials on the Heirs, implying they did not wish to undergo the Shathol'Syn. Reaction across the cluster was mixed, with Amarrians predictably showing the most relief at its failure, Caldari offering support, and Gallente and Minmatar mixed between relief that the Empire was not destabilized into igniting war and disappointed that what they viewed as the leader of a corrupt government was not slain.[14][15][16][17]

Though some blamed Karsoth for the hold up in selecting a new Emperor, others praised his leadership in the absence of an Emperor.[18]

The Chamberlain continued the goodwill programs toward the Minmatar enacted by Doriam II prior to his death.[19]

When news surfaced that a large population of Starkmanir slaves was found in the Ammatar Mandate, Karsoth pledged to help preserve them.[20] His actual intentions were to have them exterminated, however, he was unable to see this through.

Karsoth detained Admiral Saracen and accused him of high treason for actions inside the Bleak Lands.[21]

Following the invasion of Amarr space by the Elder Fleet, Karsoth disappeared.[22] Karsoth used the confusion to flee to the Blood Raiders. In late December 110, the Khanid Kingdom launched several assaults on Blood Raider holdings with the intention of capturing Karsoth.[23][24][25] Karsoth was held captive and presumably tortured for some time, before being quietly executed by order of Jamyl I.[26]
