“I am Empress Beatrix Vespasian-Orus, absolute ruler of Imperium and protector of the true path. I will not be told what I can and cannot do by underlings, especially outlanders. Your plans are nothing. Your thoughts are nothing. All that matters is my will alone.”
Empress Beatrix Vespasian-Orus (also known as the Good Empress) is the totalitarian ruler of Imperium. She is the main antagonist of Dragons Rising Season 1.
A few years after The Merge had occurred and her city became one with Ninjago and the other Realms, she seeks to capture all Source Dragons and use them as an energy source to continue powering Imperium. However, after an encounter with the ninja, she began seeing them as obstacles in her path. Now focusing her attention from the source dragons to the ninja, she decided to deal with them herself, after being fed up with her ally Lord Ras, who had failed several times in trying to stop the ninja from rescuing and escaping with the dragons the Claws of the Imperium had captured. In the final battle with the Ninja she is shot into a Merge Rift, and her status is currently unknown.
