# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Baldwin was born in Constantinople in late 1217, the only Latin Emperor actually born in the city his family ruled as foreign occupiers. Known also as Baldwin of Courtenay, he inherited a crumbling realm that had never solidified after the Fourth Crusade carved it from Byzantine corpse. His reign stretched across decades of slow collapse, watching Latin control erode until the Byzantines reclaimed their capital and drove the last Crusader emperor out. He died in October 1273, an emperor without an empire, the final name on a list that should never have existed.
