Ronald, Emperor of the Dino Empire, is rumoured to be considering retiring. Over the last few years he has complained of the strain of the throne. Now Jimmy has been installed as a strong Co-Emperor it is thought he is now looking at stepping down. Its well known that Ronald has been interested in Windscorpion's role in the DDS as "Protector", given a free rein to cherry-pick the most interesting missions. It is thought likely that Ronald will seek such a role for himself in the Dino Empire.
Ronald has been Emperor twice, the first reign lasting nearly 50 years. The second, following the death of the maniacal One-Horn, since 2099. However Ronald did not intend to become Emperor again but felt he had to because of the the turmoil of the Empire at the time. Now it is stable again thanks to the twin-emperor system and a much stronger administration which he has built up over the years.
The question as to who shall succeed him is an interesting one. Its thought likely that Ronald would prefer to retain the same mix of adventurer-administrator as he and Jimmy have. Possible contenders include Cruggson, El Diablo and Smellyson. The latter, Ronald's eldest son, is the current bookmaker's favourite.
