Antiochus Septim (Born ?? - 3E 119) was the seventh monarch to rule the Empire of Tamriel during its 3rd age. Due to being neglected by his parents, Antiochus became known to many Imperials as a drunkard and womanizer by the age of sixteen. He was crowned Emperor of Tamriel in 3E 98 after his father, Pelagius Septim II, died. Antiochus was one of the most flamboyant of the usual austere Septim family, he had many mistresses and several wives, and was renowned for his grandness of dress and strong sense of humor.

During his rule, the province of Summerset Isle was almost lost in 3E 110, when an alliance of Imperial forces and the Kings of Summerset Isles only just managed to defeat King Orgnum of the island kingdom of Pyandonea due to a freak storm ^[1]. Legend credits the Psijic Order of the island of Artaeum with the magic behind the storm. This was the most notable of wars in a reign rife with such conflicts. Antiochus died in 3E 119 and was succeeded by his daughter, Kintyra II.
