Wolf Emperor
From Warhammer - The Old World - Lexicanum
The Wolf Emperor, also called Ulric Emperor [1], was one the claimants for the imperial throne during the Age of Three Emperors, a centuries-long civil war of The Empire.
This line of pretenders began in 1547 IC as Siegfried, Count of Middenland, refused to obey any of the two other candidates, self-proclaiming himself as emperor instead.
Their main rivals were the Ottilian Emperors and the elected Emperors, joined later by the Elector Counts of Marienburg and the Reikland pretenders.
No Wolf Emperor is mentioned during the Wars of the Vampire Counts, and it is possible that the Counts of Middenland simply withdrew their candidacy (perhaps only temporally?). This is little more than idle speculation however.
