Constantinus graduated from [[Fortuna Institute]]'s law program ''summa cum laude'' in 2008 and immediately involved himself in the political world. He was credited with helping to stabilize a Caphirian colony, [[Ehios]], during a series of violent protests. As a result of his success, he was granted lordship over Ehios in 2010 and was able to peacefully re-assimilate the colony. Colrin also had an impressive record with local politics, proving to be an essential tool in Donato Mongelli's campaign for City Prefect, helping him to two back-to-back landslide elections. During both terms, Mongelli made Colrin the Chief of Staff of his ''municipium'' (city government). After resigning from his Chief of Staff position in 2014 to run for office on his own and lose, but by only 5%, the legendary political kingmaker [[Jean-Yves Touchard]] took an interest in the young Constantinus. With Touchard's help, Constantinus won the 2015 election for City Prefect of Galpina in Veleia. In 2020, Touchard assisted Constantinus once more by getting his name nominated and selected to join the [[Censorial Assembly]], one of the most powerful and influential bodies within Caphiria, as they are responsible for upholding public morality, protecting the Constitution and administering the official Public Census every ''lustrum''. At age 37, Constantinus held the highly distinguished title of ''Quinticeps Censoria'' (''Fifth Censor'') and became the youngest person in modern history to join the Censorial Assembly. As a member of the Censorial Assembly, he was known to be vocal about "helping shape Caphiria to be a leader for the people of the future and not a leader of yesterday." He was influential in bringing about topics such as abortion and income inequality and shaping the international perception of Caphiria.

During the last several years of [[Arieri IV|Imperator Arieri IV's]] reign, his health quickly deteriorated to the point where a succession plan needed to be implemented. Constantinus' name had quickly risen to the top of the list of successors, and several senators and Consuls had already begun using their influence to sway public opinion in his favor. During the summer of 2023, Constantinus and Arieri IV had numerous talks at length, with the Imperator inviting him to stay with him at his summer residence in [[Escal]]. After the summer ended, Arieri IV was satisfied with his vetting and proclaimed Constantinus to be his successor upon his death or the next ''lustrum'', whichever occurred first. Coincidentally, Arieri IV lived long enough to surrender the Imperatorship to Constantinus on Jan 1, 2025, though he died six months later. This marked the first time that an abdication occurred in modern history. During his Ascension ceremony and coronation, the regnal name ''Constantinus'' was chosen for its meaning of "constant, steadfast."

As Imperator, Constantinus' foreign policy has been striking a balance between projecting a more nationalistic and assertive Caphiria while finding a way to cultivate stronger ties with its long-time ally/foe [[Urcea]] as part of a larger plan to become more friendly with [[Levantia]] in an effort to shape the international negative perception of Caphiria. His economic policy stresses the privatization of public economic sectors and services. Constantinus stated that his main economic goal was to facilitate free trade and freedom of movement, erode national protectionism, and limit national subsidies. While some privatizations were welcomed, most of them were criticized for not being in the people's best interests.
