The regent is the nurturing other half of the emperor, appearing with a beautiful bouquet of wheat and flowers in his hands, a shield of protection at his feet, and the gift of love and tenderness in his heart. His crown is twelve shining stars, representing the cycles of the natural world. When he appears, he gently lets you know that the bounty of the harvest is here, whether that be the joy from fulfilling creative activities, happiness from the familiar comforts of domestic living, or simply being grateful for what is already around you.
Xerxes is a gentle, nurturing character and I thought he would fit the Regent's role best (especially as the counterpart to the Emperor, Osric) {:^>
