| children = Maliko Egregor

Sparkus Egregor, more commonly known as Sparky, was born somewhere in the snowy south of Gaushan, although where exactly is unknown. His Father, a fisherman, died whilst he was young and left his Mother to raise him. During his infancy, his mother travelledtraveled all across the continent avoiding the ongoing destruction caused by the Elyrian-Entente War. Searching for a safe place for her to raise her child, she heard of a settlement on an island just across the ocean. They called themselves The Anglers and were a group of fishermen. Believing that to be her safest place to raise Sparky, she worked hard day and night to earn enough for a boat to sail to this island. On the day that she planned to leave, a group of mercenaries caught up with her. It is not known why she was being hunted down. In a hurry and knowing she would not make it off the coast in time, she placed Sparky in the boat pushed it out to sea, hoping that he would land in safe arms. Afterwards she fled northwards and it is unknown what happened next.

Later that night the apparition approached Sparky on the docks. He introduced himself as herald of the God [[Archive:Sol System|Occidere]]. What went on during this conversation is unknown, however the herald had managed to twist his mind into darkness and shadows. Soon after that night, reports came up all over [[Archive:Gaushan|Gaushan]] and [[Archive:Koganon|Koganon]] of a unrecognisable hooded figure that went by the name The_Dominion. They traveled far and wide to the most influential people they could find to pass around The Shadow Tomes, texts that served as a narrative but propaganda laden story of the rise of the shadows and their eventual take over of Alathra. Not much is known about the whereabouts of the tomes other than that they seem to be in the position of a few individuals.

After many altercations, The_Dominion was finally slain and the shadows expelled from Sparky's body by [REDACTED]. The shadows fell silent, or at least thatsthat's how it seemed.

Once settled in, Sparkus began to build his new life. He met a barmaid named Mini on his journeys and the two of them fell in love immediately. They held a ceremony in private on the docks of the old Anglers settlement. Not long after came the news that the couple were expecting a child. Fearing the worst outcomes of global political unrest and his own dangerous life, Sparkus immediately started the proceedings to send it off to the [boardingRedna schoolCollege name]of Magic where they could guarantee safety. Once the child, called [[Archive:Maliko|Maliko]], had grown up to be three years of age, he was sent off to [boarding school name]Redna in hopes that the world will be a better place when he grows up.

Sparkus had begun to notice that over those 3 years, he had grown much older than the average Alathran. Believing it to be the last curse Occidere could place on him before his imprisonment, Sparkus set out to discover a cure. Day and night the king would work tirelessly on his experiments, contacting the likes of [[Archive:Ra'thra|Ra'thra]] and [[Archive:Orthigo|Orthigo]] in the [[Archive:Pater Carnis Arc|Pater Carnis Arc]]. As his work progressed, he grew more and more mad, forcing his wife to leave him. Her current whereabouts are unknown.

After the death of Ra'thra, all hope was lost to Sparkus. Days went past where no one had seen him until his last public appearance atop his balcony. His aged self reassured the populous that he was still their leader and was fit to rule, and they had nothing to fear. Reports say that later that night he rode off towards [[Archive:The Library|The Library]] where he promptly made off with a wagon full of tomes and passages.

Two months later it was announced that a search party had found the deceased ruler propped up against his old bar [[Archive:The Sirens Wake|The Sirens Wake]] in the Anglers settlement, his body more akin to an elderly man. His people will forever remember him as a benevolent leader, always for the people regardless of his flaws.
