This ruler attempted to abdicate in favor of his top general Karadick, known as the Green Bear, who struggled to contain a terrorist group led by Octavio von Bardas called this ruler’s “Children.” This ruler annexed neighboring Rotruvia using a superweapon that (15[1])destroyed its stocks of the valuable resource molynite. Returning from the US after being (*) disfigured and expelled from university, this (10[1])ruler overthrew King Vladimir (10[1])Fortunov to avenge the persecution of the Zefiro clan of Romani. This ruler reigns from a namesake castle in a “stadt” also renamed after him, the capital of a rural European country located (10[1])north of Symkaria. For 10 points, name this Supreme Lord of Latveria who constructs robot copies of himself to battle the Fantastic Four. ■END■
