Personal history

The Black Hand made its first appearance 116 years ago at Fort Benson. He attacked the fort alone and managed to panic the military forces of the Theocracy of Homeca that had to evacuate and leave the fort to the intruder. Denouncing him like a terrorist, he multiplied the attacks on the military troops of the region and ends up to create a solid reputation.
Two years later, he faced the theocracy alongside the Alliance of Baram at the head of The Congregation of Shadow which he will use to take control of the north shore of Yggdrasil under the banner of the Xiantia Empire.
Self-proclaimed emperor, he signed peace with Theocracy of Homeca so he could turn to his true goal: science.
While installing the Congregation of Shadow on research sites, he established a sovereign and influential state. After which he looked at the situations of Half-humans and their society. He helped them reshape their traditions by founding The Golden Empire and advising them on how to create their own independent state.
He is nevertheless involved in the political affairs of everyone to avoid conflicts and massacres, but especially to witness events. He is always in the places where we least expect him for his collect of information and experiences, so much so that a saying says of him that he is "nowhere and everywhere at once".

He began to be more active around the year 13 950 and mostly around the Theocracy. This suspicious activity leads to think that it is he who brought the death of the Fallen Angel Adriel and who put King Charioce I on the throne. But the king would have escaped his grip and decide to carry out his own mission. Thus the Black Hand would have lost one of its precious pawns and events are consistent with this hypothesis since he removed the scientific complexes on the territory of the Theocracy a few weeks after the coronation of the king.
All subsequent events were then attributed to him and he had to break off diplomatic relations with the Alliance of Baram and especially the Elves.
