Christopher X of Denmark (The Kalmar Union)

Christopher X is the incumbent ruler of Denmark, one of the oldest sovereign states in both Europe and the world and one of the world's oldest monarchies.

Christopher is the younger son of King Christian III and Princess Thorey of Vinland. Originally, he was not supposed to ascend to the throne of Denmark, as he was third in the line of succession behind his brothers Crown Prince Valdemar and Prince Cnut. However, in 2002, a Pro-German Pomeranian separatist murdered Princes Valdemar and Cnut in a bombing that also nearly killed Christopher. While he survived, Christopher suffered an ankle injury that has forced him to use a cane since then.

The news of the brutal murder of the elder Princes horrified Denmark and King Christian, who fell into a state of depression and was said to have died a grieving man. Following the death of his father, Christopher ascended to the throne and became King of Denmark. Unlike his ancestors and predecessors, Christopher does not maintain the political power that a King of Denmark once had, he does however maintain the right to dismiss the Prime Minister or any public officials, dissolve the Riksdag, call for an election or referenda, appoint Judges, and grant people noble titles and ranks.
