Brandon (Brandon Blackfyre; born 23 November 2979) is a claimant to the throne of the Kingdom of the Rock and historic title of Emperor of the Romans. Following the death of his uncle, Charles VI, Brandon claimed the throne under the laws of absolute male primogeniture. Given his role as Lord President prior to his ascension, he was able to take control of the Iberian Palace. His tyrannical reign of Rockfield became known as the Blackfyre Rebellion, for which he was removed during the Wiltshirian intervention in September 3021, during which his niece was restored to the throne.
Born as Prince Brandon Caliban in 2979, Brandon lived most of his life during the interregnum. As the heir of the Dukedom of Sinacras, Brandon held significant responsibility for the succession and future of the Caliban line - especially due to the fact that Charles VI only produced female descendants. In 2999, Brandon's father, Prince Anthony (Duke of Sinacras) declared his reformation of the House of Blackfyre, abandoning the former royal name of Caliban. Many have reported this to be as a result of a disagreement between Charles IV and Prince Antony. The result being a splitting in the houses. Since coming of age, Brandon has spent many of his years away from Rockfield. He travelled much of the world, becoming known as the "Prince who Danced the World". In 3021, when Charles VI re-ascended to the throne, Brandon returned to Rockfield to resume his role as the functionary head of the House Blackfyre.
A large part of Brandon's life is his role within the Pontifical Church. Brandon served as a devout priest at a Pontifical monastery in Doggerland, before returning to Rockfield.
