Lucius Blackhelm is the first Chancellor of the Blackhelm Confederacy, and was responsible for forming the nation after the collapse of the Empire of Exponent. Blackhelm was deposed in 2011, during the Blackhelm Confederate Revolution, and was replaced with current chancellor Octavius Eaglebrand.

Early life

Senatorial period

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.
