Pelegon VI Odios Pelegon, also called Pelegon the Glorious, and The Hammer of the Badawi, was the 20th Shahanshah. He was renowned as a warrior-king and spent most of his reign on various military campaigns, largely leaving the running of the realm to his Imperial Conclave. Unlike his peaceable father, Pelegon relished in tales of the battlefield and glory, he idolized his ancestor Pelegon I and wished to similarly be a conqueror of great renown.
Pelegon became Shahanshah at a young age and spent much of his reign on campaign while the Conclave governed in his stead. He reigned for thirty-four years and dramatically expanded the size of the Empire, annexing Byuntun and Neria and making forays into the Ba’hram Desert. He was killed by a combined force of Ba'hrammite warriors at the Battle of Red Sands and his body was cut into a thousand pieces and buried in the sands so that it would never be found.
