Pericles the Conqueror (c. 2832-2787 BL), often referred to as Pericles the Ruthless for his expensive military campaigns, was the 4th king of the Saxenders from 2812 BL upon his father's death, king of Thrornmouth from 2803 BL following the Saxendish Conquest of Thrornmouth, and King of Epidedon from 2795 BL following the Short War until his death in 2787 BL. By 2810, following a grueling struggle of claims to the throne of Saxendia between Pericles and his second cousin Orythroneous the Traitor, Pericles had secured his right to the throne and had Orythroneous executed. In 2805, following the death of Thrornmouthian king Wealhhere Chalender II, Pericles invaded Thrornmouth, leading an army of Saxenders to victory over the Throrn-Marlseigh of Wealhhere Chalender III, and subsequently oppressed Thrornmouthian revolts in what is now known as the Saxendish Conquest of Thrornmouth.

Pericles also went on a costly military campaign against Epidedon, surrounding them on all sides and cutting off supply routes. His own military group razed several towns and plundered goods from the nation, massacring hundreds of denizens and soldiers, as well as setting up segregated cemetaries that were divided between his own soldiers, who had gravestones decorated with flowers, and the graves of the enemy, who received sandstone gravestones that were undecorated. Following the conquest, he chose to entirely suppress the people of Epidedon, leading to several revolts, some of which gained traction before being put down.
