==Biography==
===Early Life===
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
===Arriving at The Anglers===
By a stroke of luck, Sparky's boat landed on the shore of The Anglers settlement where WilkoAC, the leader of the town, noticed the boat floating without any direction. After swiftly retrieving the boat, they noticed the child sound asleep in the hull. From that day forward, Sparky was brought up by the fishermen at The Anglers until his teenage years.
===Teenage Years===
After realising his profound crafting abilities, Sparky decided to build the settlements first tavern, the Sirens Wake. There he offered his services as a barkeep, speakeasy and also provided rooms for weary
===The Nether Accident===
Upon learning how to access the Nether, Sparky spent day and night to fashion his own glass portal. As he stepped inside, something went wrong and the portal imploded on its self just as Sparky had entered, trapping him in some in-between world of dirt and darkness and leaving him arm-less. In this dimensional anomaly, Sparky came face to face with a purple and blue disfigured version of himself in robes. It did not blink nor say anything but it also seemed to want to find a way out. After days of looking for a way out, he heard whispers much like his mothers and before he knew it he was brought back into existence, laid on his floor
===Shadow Arc===
After successfully creating a Nether portal, Sparky traversed the hostile wastes in search of the ancient netherite debris. Bringing home plenty of this shrapnel from another dimension, he got to work and created his first netherite ingots . When the traders came to town he managed to sell a singular piece for more than his entire tavern was worth. One such trader was none other than a prominent Elyrian general by the name of [REDACTED]. They had come to speak to Sparky about their woes in the battles of the past and present, and Sparky let them air out their sorrows. After the drunken [REDACTED] left, Sparky saw a shadowy purple-blue cloaked apparition lurk behind the Town Hall, however dismissed it as he wasn't exactly sober himself.
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

After realising how much damage had been caused by his almost fanatical actions, Sparky decided to take his amassed wealth and found his own town, a fortress city built with the exact opposite
Having finished Egregans main infrastructure, Sparky appointed himself

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 Redna College 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 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.
=== Death ===
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.
