Theodosios VI was the Holy Emperor of the Greater Holy Empire of Tagmatium, who reigned from 1995 to 2005. Born Theodosios Methodianos Pantaleon Makrembolitissos in 1966, he was the son of Konstantios V. When the armed forces overthrew Methodianos XX after a series of general strikes, Theodosios was invited to take the throne. He left exile in Euandria and landed in Nystras, where he was proclaimed Holy Emperor by crowds of soldiers, naval personnel and civilians. This all but ended the Navarkhokrateia, known in Anglish as the "Rule of the Admirals". He was viewed as a fresh start for Tagmatium and his pious faith was seen as a break from the creeping secularisation of Tagmatium under the Rule of the Admirals. Through personal charity and great charisma, Theodosios quickly became beloved by his people, although his forgiveness of the excesses by the old regime was viewed with some scepticism. Several of his high officials, including Kommodos Iakoumos, pressed for harsher punishment of more than just the leading figures.
Ultimately, this is what caught up with him, as he was assassinated by elements of the military, who then attempted to restore the Navarkhokrateia. This was the opening moves of the 2005 Tagmatine Civil War.
