Early life
Senatorial period
Lucius Blackhelm was one of the youngest individuals to be elected to the Imperial Senate, taking office a few months shy of his 40th birthday. Less than a year after he was appointed to the Senate, the Empire of Exponent ceded most of Eastern Hesperidesia under the Treaty of Paradisa in 1988. Blackhelm was one of the group of Senators, known as the Populares, who fiercely resisted the signing of the treaty. Following the loss of eastern Hesperidesia, Blackhelm's faith in the Imperial family was shattered.
Collapse of Exponent
Blackhelm was one of the leading members of the Populares who pushed for the resignation of the Imperial family. After meetings with the Senate, the last Emperor was finally persuaded to step down, thus ending the nearly 2000 year rule of the Exponentia family in Hesperidesia.
Chancellorship
Blackhelm Confederate Revolution
Post-Chancellor activity
Since his resignation from the Chancellory, Blackhelm has remained away from the domestic political scene within the nation that bears his name. He is, however, still seen by many as a symbol of the nation, and often embarks on goodwill tours to foreign nations on behalf of the Confederacy.
Blackhelm was also named to the board of directors of Griffincrest Oil Incorporated shortly after his resignation, a position he remains in today.
