Leon III, born Leon Evangelos Theonikos, was the Holy Emperor of the Greater Holy Empire of Tagmatium from 1956 to 1963. He ascended the Leopard Throne after a coup at the end of the Long War and withdrew Tagmatium from that conflict. He masterminded the coup from afar and was proclaimed Holy Emperor by the Tagmatine armed forces in Vanarambaion after it had been carried out. Although his ascension to the throne almost caused an outbreak of civil war, Leon contacted the Volsci and negotiated a ceasefire, bringing Tagmatium's involvement in the generation-long conflict to an end. However, he is best known for an almost complete overhaul of the political system of Tagmatium, which saw a process introduced for the democratic election of the Holy Emperor in a vote by all eligible adults, not just a select few of the Senates. After seven years on the throne, which saw the Tagmatium begin to rise from the ashes of the first half of the 20th Century, Leon abdicated and triggered a general election for the next Holy Emperor.
