Showing someone how to be fabulous and badass in your throne.

Karl Franz (formally Karl Franz I, Protector of the Empire, Defier of the Dark, Emperor Himself and the Son of Emperors, Elector Count of Reikland and Prince of Altdorf) is the current Emperor of the Empire and tabletop miniature of Warhammer. Although considered to be a formidable statesman and diplomat, Karl Franz is also a formidable warrior with a record of getting shit done.

Karl Franz is the son and heir of the late Emperor Lutipold. At his father's death he was nominated for the Throne of the Empire but was widely considered too inexperienced. With the help of the Count of Ostland he managed to get all but one vote among the Count Electors and the Church of Sigmar to vote for him. In the following years, Karl Franz has proved to be just as formidable a warrior as he is a statesman, leading the Imperial Army in numerous defenses, wielding the Hammer of Sigmar and riding the griffon Deathclaw. He is also the only one capable of riding the only dragon in the Empire.

Recently due the End Times he go pawned badly by some vampire turned khornate nut Harkon who was supposed to reinforce Vlad Von Carstein to wipe out the first wave of Chaos invaders, somehow Karl survived and after a long trek he managed to return to Altdorf in time for the siege, however it all seemed to be lost with Otto Glott cutting Karl's arm (yes, we know some other Emperor who got a similar injury), then the Gods of Order from Warhammer finally decided to bring it on and turned Charlie in the moment of absolute death and defeat in the vessel of Sigmar/Every previous emperor/hero/The Empire/all that is noble in mankind/you get the idea, as well as the incarnation of the magical Lore of Heavens, allowing him to slap the Glottkin back to Nurgle's kitchen, and remove all the corruption which has been grinding the Old World. Karl Franz Ascendant is also an absolute killing machine in the table, capable to wipe out nearly anything put in front of him, expect huge amounts of derp and rage from other factions used to get all the hard hitters as well as everyone bringing cannons to deal with him.
