High Pontiff Theodosius I

Theodosius I (Common: Theodore I; High Imperial: Theodosius I), born as Georgiy Nikovic, was High Pontiff between 1562 and 1567. Theodosius is viewed generally as an innocent clergyman wrongfully elevated to the position of Vicar, whose reign continued the stagnation and decline that began under Tobias I. During his reign, the Council of Anpalais would annul the 'Revelations' of Daniel III, though this is credited to his Cardinals and the Imperial Estate versus his own accord. His reign concluded rapidly at his sudden death and he was succeeded by the Cardinal Gotthold; crowned Sixtus IV.
