Cat-Lon
Cat-Lon ruled an empire that no longer exists, and waits, in the dead lands, for someone to come and end the title.
The Last Emperor — a powerful Skeleton ruler tied to the Second Empire and one of Kenshi's great endgame figures.
Overview
Cat-Lon, often called the Last Emperor, is a Skeleton figure tied to the Second Empire — a ruler whose reign and fall are central to Kenshi's deepest lore.
The Second Empire Connection
Cat-Lon's story is the story of the Second Empire's rise and collapse, and of the conflict between humans and the Skeleton-led order.
Endgame Figure
Cat-Lon is a formidable endgame encounter, found in the most dangerous regions. Confronting the Last Emperor is one of Kenshi's signature lore payoffs.
Why It Matters
Cat-Lon ties together the Skeletons, the Second Empire and the collapse — the closest Kenshi comes to a central historical figure.
