Emperor

"You try living your whole life in a trash can, wondering why you're the only damn cat who can speak and walk on two! You try coming into the realization that you're not normal! You try being treated like garbage and kicked around! But no more! I may be a stray, but I don't care! Because I need no one! A stray only needs himself."

- Emperor's reasoning for remaining independent Emperor (エンペラー, Enperā), as he addresses himself, is a stray Exceed, having been a part of the 100 Eggs send to Earth Land from the kingdom of Extalia within Edolas, however, unlike many Exceeds, Emperor's course was altered due to an ongoing conflict at the area he landed at, resulting in him becoming a "stray cat", being left in the streets to fend for himself.

Thanks to being far more intelligent than an ordinary cat, he managed to survive for years to come, and even grow in strength as time passed. Emperor began wandering Earth Land, becoming a thief and wanted criminal as a result, and due to this employment of Magic, such as Aera and Battle Mode Shift, is also branded as a Dark Mage, being most commonly addressed as Black Cat (黒猫, Kuroneko), due to his black fur.
