An Emperor is what happens to a Duke if he breeds with a Duchess and they become a breeding pair, the two will undergoing an metamorphosis over time together, the most obvious changes is they will nearly triple their original size of a Duke and Duchess, this takes about 100 years before the pair reaches their full size, in that time frame the young Emperor will claim a territory and together with his Empress they will work on building their empire...

The Emperor will get even bigger than the Empress and he's much more armored then her, his bottom fangs will get bigger and because tusks.

An Emperor needs to be big and powerful in order to defend his Empress and their territory.

The Emperor go from drinking blood to consuming whole prey as his body consumers energy being much larger.

A fully developed pair territory will be quite large, spreading hundreds of miles, it's viewed as kind of an invisible rings, the drones patrol the outside of the territory and the wider rings as the Emperor stays closer to the heart of their empire we're his mate is.

Emperor are very territorial expecially with other vampiric Nethersglade, he will kill any vampiric Nethersglade adventuring in this territory that he is not the father to... however he is actually more forgiving then his Empress when it comes to their own children, drones he usually just let them do their thing along with handmaidens the Empress boss them around, Duchess he father the Emperor will protect until there ready to go out on their own but Duchess usually don't live long because their mother eat them... Dukes on the other hand the Empress isn't threatened by her own son so she doesn't kill them as Dragonette but as they get older their father the Emperor will get more aggressive towards them, at one point the Dukes have to leave or they be killed.

An Emperor can still shape-shift to his human form but he usually doesn't do this often as it's his weaker form, unless he confident that his territory is secure and his Empress is safe.

That all on this half, more info will be when the Empress is posted
