Groomed to be an Emperor, he was raised by legends. From an early age, he studied languages and linguistics, becoming a master of even the most obscure world languages by the time he was 100. As an emperor, he engaged the world in its native tongues, seeking peace, but finding little. He let his Empire slowly dissolve into its constituent states, more so than his predecessors, and brought Maraddon further greatness as a land of Service.

Seeing a capable and great land working on its own, he announced his retirement, and left the world of politics for the chance to study languages of other realms and worlds. Within a few years, the world crumbled into war, but he was too far gone to bring back.

His studies took him to the planes, where he began seeking the essences of language, and thought, and communication. For whole eras, he studied, until he could find the common bonds between any given languages, until he could pick up most common languages within minutes. When he returned to Shem, he found a world vastly different from the one he left behind, and he had the anonymity he had never known before. He enlisted as a common soldier/translator, and set out to observe his home.

When the Age of Empires ended abruptly, he found work in the reconstruction, then slipped away to the planes again for a while.
