Heinrich Tobias Werner (14 July 1921 – 13 February 2014) was a Vierz lawyer and statesman who served as Chancellor of Vierzland from 1986 to 1992 and as President of Vierzland from 1992 to 1997.
Werner was born in 1921 in Elze, then a town in the Vierz Empire. During his mandatory military service in the Navy from 1939 to 1948, he saw combat in the Great War. He studied law at the Constantine Imperial University of Adtrus, attaining a doctor of laws in 1960, and became a law professor at the university. Werner presided over a number of high profile cases in both civil and criminal courts, gaining a reputation as a "human rights lawyer" for his defense of those allegedly wronged by the imperial government. He became prominent in republican and anti-monarchist circles, but refused to partake in political behaviour.
During the Luepolan War, Werner became involved in the anti-war movement; his activities, which were illegal under the government of Stefan Vogt, resulted in his removal from the university. With the onset of the Vierz Revolution in the 1980s, Werner joined the Congress for the Republic, serving as its legal counsel. He became the leader of the organization in 1984. After the 1986 Adtrus bombing killed Chancellor Uwe Scholz, Kaiser Viktor IV appointed Werner as Chancellor, hoping to appease surging republican sentiments.
