Personages/King Tyrain

Early Life
The story goes that Tyrain emerged from his mother will a full kingly intellect, then rapidly taught himself what he needed to assume the throne of Dellani, a major power on Anamsis. Most people regard this story as state propaganda, but his mothers acquisition, and then the kings constant use of The Memory Mattress lends some credence to the tales.

Adulthood
Once his reign was seen as legitimate, he began rapidly expanding his borders, attacking or demanding surrender of every nearby nation - allies and foes alike. Often friendly nations would receive much harsher treatment than former foes.

Only a few regions managed to escaped Dellani's march, most notably, the Etruscans managed to increase their territory by offered shelter from Dellani's advance.

Late Years
No one knows exactly how old the king is, but that number is easily over a century. It is known that the king intended on controlling the entire planet before he passed, and has become more desperate and brutal in his later years.

This was only worsened when a prophesy was discovered, showing the king slain and the artefact stolen by Offworlders. Tyrain's internal sweeps and Dellani's rampant xenophobia spiked, and has yet to abate.
