Iedolas Aldercapt

a character from a game Emperor Iedolas Aldercapt is an antagonist in Final Fantasy XV. He is the ruler of the Empire of Niflheim.

Story
Iedolas signs a peace treaty with King Regis Lucis Caelum CXIII of the kingdom of Lucis, to settle the dispute over the last crystal kept within the city. The treaty is soon revealed to be a ruse and Iedolas leads a full-scale invasion of Lucis to steal the crystal. In trailers, he is seen holding Regis at gunpoint.

Although Iedolas is at the top of the leadership hierarchy in the Niflheim Empire, he is in semi-retirement from frontline politics and is not the one leading the Empire personally at the start of the game, and the one pulling the strings throughout the start of the events is his chancellor Ardyn Izunia. He is said to be a ruthless supremacist with his politics dedicated to territorial expansion. Because of this, the other nations do not look on him too favourably.
