Stessel Romanov

About
Stessel Romanov is an exceptionally talented politician who was declared Prime Minister of the Helman Empire per recommendation of the newly crowned Empress Pamela Helman. Through political savvy, he managed to turn the majority of the royal court against Prince Patton and instead recognize Pamela's daughter Sheila Helman as the true heir. Unknown to the public, Sheila is actually his daughter with Pamela and is of no relation to the royal family and was merely born to further Stessel's influence within the Empire had this been discovered he'd have been deemed a traitor and imprisoned. Despite holding the rank of Prime Minister, he is more or less completely in charge of all of the Helman Empire, with both the monarchy and the army being run by puppets who are completely loyal to him.

He is directly responsible for Patton's fall from power as he was the one who organized the official declaration of his death after the failed invasion of Leazas he is also the man who ordered the death of patton's mother paellina misnarge. Because of this he is acknowledged as the main threat to the Patton Faction.

He is a highly ambitious and conniving man who only desires to become more powerful, and will do whatever it takes to achieve it. He is an incredible narcissist who considers everyone who isn't him to be trash, including Pamela, who he has been involved with for over a decade. The one person he considers worthy of his love is Sheila, due to her sharing some of his blood, and as such he harbors an incestuous attraction to her.

He also has no problem using his own family to gain power like making his own nephew Supreme Commander of the army even though he is under qualified for the job or support his own daughter to take the throne even though she has no real claim to it.

Trivia

 * In Kichikuou Rance, he was fond of the idea of having sex with his own daughter, something even Rance finds inexcusable.
