He was born into a merchant family based out of Icehaven. At age 16, he inherited the business when the plague hit his hometown. At age 19, his betrothed drowned herself. At first he thought it was because she didn't want to marry him, which is kinda depressing, 'cause you know, he's a nice guy, in love, and his would-be bride kills herself rather than be with him. BAM! Sucker punch. By the time it was discovered that she actually killed herself because she got drunk at a party and slept with some other guy, he had already signed over his company to her brother and had hit the road. He signed on to a river barge crew for the trip to Nexus, and from there he signed on to another ship heading into the South-East mountains to hunt for treasure. His entire expedition either died of malaria, got killed by villagers and wild animals (in a couple of Wyld-tainted villages, the distinction blurred), or got lost in the jungle. Finally, he scaled a mountain range, and after summiting just after sundown, he prepared to make camp.
He discovered a vast temple complex, with three First Age tombs the centerpiece. Drawn to one of them by a force he could not understand, he sat there staring at the sealed orichalcum doors all night. As the sun moved overhead towards noon, he saw that today was the day of an eclipse. As soon as the sun and moon were juxtaposed, the image burned itself into his eyes and the Unconquered Sun spoke to him. The doors of his tomb swung open and he began to investigate. He evaded the traps he had set for himself in his past life, and found his dead body. According to those "in the know," his exact words were "Well, I think I've aged well." He then proceeded to reset the tomb's traps, steal some of the loot from himself, and mop the floor. He was just about to leave when he was confronted by a reawakened First Age bodyguard of his master's, who had been placed in a stasis spell as a tomb guard because the Dragon-Blooded who had constructed the tomb were short on cash and had already frozen him when they fought his master. The Demon-Blood, named Hak, recognized him immediately as a reincarnation of his master and swore loyalty to him.
Over the course of his wanderings, he has cultivated a profound dislike of authority and anyone who would impose their will on others. He believes that anarchy is the ideal form of government, but his beliefs do not allow him to impose his own rules on others. This is not to say he cannot lead, just that he cannot establish rules. He will overthrow an unjust government, but he acknowledges that anarchy vs. government is, at heart, a matter of personal preference, and so will not attempt to overthrow just governments, or even those that are merely okay, and will not prevent the formation of new governments. Chaos is all well and good, but there is such a thing as too much. That said, the 100 Kingdoms are now the 94 Kingdoms and 6 Semi-Anarchal Communist Thingies thanks to him.
He does not touch liquor or drugs and is largely celibate.
He enjoys spicy foods, sleeping outdoors, bright colors, sunny days, sunflowers,and butterflies. He spent some time in the Wyld and wouldn't mind visiting again someday.
He hates the cold and things with lots of legs and/or exoskeletons, but prefers to run from them rather than squash them with malice.
Favorite color dark grey, lucky number 13.
He is serene, very laid-back, largely non-judgemental, and talks a lot. If he is complaining, it doesn't mean he actually wants anyone to do anything about it, he's just stating a fact. He has a slight masochistic streak and is into flogging.
He's about 6'2", and a shade under 145 pounds. He has dark brown hair and eyes, pale, freckled skin, longish fingernails, repulsive body odor, excellent hearing, and is of skeletal build.
He plays Go (the Oriental board game with the white and black rocks and the 19x19 grid) and rock-paper-scissors.
He has an emotional attachment to his wide-brimmed hat of woven reeds.
He is well-disposed to Abyssal and Terrestrial Exalts as individuals but not to the Realm and the Abyssal forces as a whole. He absolutely hates the Sidereals and will attack them at minimum and often kill them if he can. It's very entertaining for him to see the stark terror on their faces as he chases them.
He is trying to find the Scarlet Empress, not for any particular reason, just because he's curious as to where she went.
His Anima Banner is pure, blinding white, and when iconic, takes the form of a saber-toothed cat.
Currently, he and his Circle are under deep cover in Lookshy, investigating the origins of the Scarlet Empress in the Shogunate records there so that they can find her.
