Maleinos II

Maleinos the Second was the Avtokrator of Videssos roughly 400 years after the founding of the Empire.He was the cousin of the infamous sorcerer Rhavas.He is also notable for clipping the name of Phos, who used to be called Phaos.

Maleinos was a capable administrator, aided by the Grand Domestikos Stylianos. However,soon Stylianos launched an coup d'état for the throne.This led Maleinos to strip the frontier towns of soldiers, to fight the rebel. This weakened the garrisons, making them vulnerable to Halogai and Pardrayan attack.Indeed, this is what happened.The nomads invaded western Videssos while the imperials fought the civil war.

Maleinos was soon oused by Stylianos.
