1$\begingroup$ You can sort by oldest. It was Deusovi. $\endgroup$– JayCommented Nov 21, 2019 at 7:08

$\begingroup$ @PilsNot3 ok, thanks for the advice. I’ll ensure that will happen in future - for now, I’ll reduct the extra commentary. Thanks for letting me know! :) $\endgroup$– Mr PieCommented Nov 24, 2019 at 7:26

$\begingroup$ Thanks @Stiv! (P.S. Would you like for me to give you a bounty offer to make up for a checkmark, given that you had the answer but just couldn’t post it in time?) $\endgroup$– Mr PieCommented Nov 24, 2019 at 7:27

Because
the emperor is "Nero", and when the letter N is tilted sideways it turns into a Z, making it "Zero".

The Roman Emperor is:
NERO
When he 'tilted his head', he:
Rotated his initial letter by 90 degrees. Thus 'N' became 'Z'.
Thus making him become:
ZERO (i.e. 'nothing')!
