I can get information from anyone I want. I am the emperor of Rome!
Nero[1]
Nero was the emperor of Rome and one of the Ordo Calamitas warriors, an organization located in Rome that aimed to destroy the Paranormal.
Nero first appeared in the 5th episode of Calamity, joining the Ordo Calamitas warriors for a meeting about the relics.[2] He ended up dying during one of The Host's games, losing his existence through a sacrifice made by Remus.[3]
Appearance[]
Nero was a middle-aged man, fair-skinned and red-haired. He wore a medieval armor with some gray cloths, and possessed the Ordo Calamitas' symbol stamped on a cloth on his chest.
While Team Vultures was reliving the memories of the warriors of Ordo Calamitas, Nero had a blue aura surrounding him, and his eyes shone in the same color.
Personality[]
Being the emperor of Rome and one of the main leaders of Ordo Calamitas, he demonstrated acting with superiority before his subordinates, imposing rules and commandments, such as not drinking wine and behaving with formality before him, as seen when he ordered Celestine to remove her feet of the table when he arrived in the place.[4]
In The Host's games, Nero proved not to be skilled in deception, always shaking his hands when he began to tell lies. His anger and frustration at Celestine’s outrageous actions at the games was more evident, even threatening to kill her if she came out alive. At one point, the emperor shows a slight lack of intelligence when he became the Magistrate in the Sect of the Masks' game, ordering his subordinates to reveal the infiltrators.

Trivia[]
- Nero was a real emperor of the Ancient Roman Empire, ruling from A.D. 54 to 68. He was considered an emperor with questionable actions and was held responsible for the Great Fire of Rome. Inside the RPG, this incident was recontextualized, being caused by the Relic of Energy in A.D. 67, and having Nero as the person who was blamed for its lack of control.[7]
