The Emperor

The Emperor, Duke Tanas, or the Prime Minister of Begnion were all titles this man held. He was a great manipulator, a talent he picked up from his mentor, Logan. He created an Empire that convered almost all of Tellius (it did not contain Northern Crimea), and threatened Hatarri. He was a branded, and lived a notably long life.

Taking the Cave
Sometime during the War of Heroes, the Prime Minister mysteriously left. During this time, he went to the Cave of Heroes, casually defeating the warriors who resided there, including Jake (who would in the future lead his forces) and Fred (who in the future would spearhead the rebellion against him). After he left with what he recieved, the Cave was still active as it was before. It wasn't until after the war in which his actions would take an effect.
