History: Formerly known as Justinian Flavius Justinianus I. She was the Byzantine emperor from 527 to 565.
Her reign is marked by the ambitious but only partly realized renovatio imperii or "restoration of the Empire". This ambition was expressed by the partial recovery of the territories of the defunct Western Roman Empire. Her general, Belisarius, swiftly conquered the Vandal Kingdom in North Africa. Subsequently, Belisarius, Narses, and other generals conquered the Ostrogothic Kingdom, restoring Dalmatia, Sicily, Italy, and Rome to the empire after more than half a century of the rule by the Ostrogoths. The praetorian prefect Liberius reclaimed the south of the Iberian peninsula, establishing the province of Spania. These campaigns re-established Roman control over the western Mediterranean, increasing the Empire's annual revenue by over a million solidi. During her reign, Justinian also subdued the Tzani, a people on the east coast of the Black Sea that had never been under Roman rule before. She engaged that Sasanian Empire in the east during Kavad I's reign, and later again during Khosrow I's, this second conflict was partially initiated due to her ambition in the west.
A still more resonant aspect of her legacy was the uniform rewriting of Roman law, the Corpus Juris Civilis, which is still the basis of civil law in many modern states. Her reign also marked a blossoming of Byzantine culture, and her building program yielded works such as the Hagia Sophia. She is called "Saint Justinian the Emperor" in the Eastern Orthodox Church. Because of her restoration activities, Justinian has sometimes been known as the "Last Roman" in mid-20th century historiography.
In the world of Fate. Both Justinian I and Theodora, the recorded wife of the Emperor, are in fact the same person. The true identity of the Emperor all along is that of Theodora who used the name 'Justinian I' in order to act as the Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire. Justin I, her uncle and later adoptive father, saw in her an immense potential which led him to adopt Theodora, but since she was a girl, the young Theodora was forced to take up a new identity as Petrus Sabbatius, later as Justinian I after ascending to the throne.
