Meraldian IV was widely known as a charismatic man with a tall, muscular build. He wore his hair in long locks of grey hair that hung down beneath his shoulders, nearly rivaling the length of his beard. His eyes, like all Emeraldites, are green. In his youth he had brown hair.

History
As a boy he rode through the forests of Templehelm with only a bow and dagger, followed by an entourage of knights who made sure the heir to the throne didn't come to harm during his outings. He held a strong respect towards the laws of Planu and the Emeraldites, and many thought of him as a promising lord.

Meraldian IV was a charismatic man who loved nothing more than alcohol, and the thrill of the hunt. Of course, to ensure his safety (and reduce the number of royal scandals), his father appointed a company of knights to the royal heir's entourage.

Yet, the heirs of House Myrick were jealous of him, and it was this envy that led to the death of half of the royal family, leaving Meraldian IV the last direct descendant of the original Emeraldite Kings. Crowned at a young age, King Meraldian IV remained an honest man, despite the burden of his post. To the disdain of his followers, however, he also retains his love of the drink. He never married, and never knew the love of a woman. Hunting remained his method of escape, but when the thrill of the chase fails him, mellowing alcohol was never too far from his grasp. He was rumoured to imbibe Rot.

His age, however, does not betray his strength.
