== History ==
=== Origin ===
During his childhood, Theodor wasn't trusted, he wasn't admired nor wasn't given any praise. He sat alone, thinking for all his life, and that was when he loved and admired his strategy and intelligence. Despite his intelligent being, he still does mess up, and because of those simple mistakes, his mother resented him for it. He was always given the reputation of "untrustworthy" or "idiotic" considering he was creative, but then, always broke things as a child, which was of course inevitable. Not even his family trusted him, apart from Omphious Erronzein, his cousin.
In school, it is no different. He is constantly belittled and presented as inferior. Nobody talked to him, valued him, asked for him or even associated with him. He was that lonely. But, he was highly recognized for his enigmatic intelligence and wealth. After the revelation of his wealth and capabilities, he was eventually valued for it which fueled his greed. He loved to keep his power over others, seeing them as his flock of sheep and him as the shepherd with his crook being his wealth. During his childhood, he also always played chess to test and cultivate his strategy, eventually basing his philosophies and mindsets based on the game's rules and techniques. He also constantly envied and destroyed reputations of those who were more popular than him through strategic scheming.
After his life in education, he eventually graduated under Political Sciences degree and worked as a lobbyist for legislators and councilors to get experience. His advice would be financially beneficial and eventually boosted economical statuses of the country or regions, eventually gaining popularity and becoming a "passive politician". With the title of passive politician, he really didn't want positions, and overall enjoyed the wealth he had and was content with it. He decided to professionally participate in chess tournaments and games which further boosted his popularity.
During the first world war, he was drafted, however, he was under the title of Reserve Officer after planning ahead in college. So he easily had a good position to keep him safe, but then to also participate strategy-wise. He eventually became a war strategist, using chess tactics and formations to fight against enemies, which all worked. He once fallen victim to a mustard gas attack, but he had blood contact with another soldier beside him which gave him Biokinesis. 
After the war, he returned to politics as a senior lobbyist, and eventually ran for state treasurer, which he wont the seat with a landslide election. From there, he would work with the Karpakov Crime Families upon finding them fascinating and being infatuated with their origins, resilience and wealth. However, he did envy the fact that they were more dominant in terms of economical and financial gain. So he chose to help them as an outsider provider and cover-up.
=== Before the war ===
He then deepened his understanding of the Socialist ideology, which his cousin Omphious supported so well. He implemented some of those ideologies to help his faction rise. This also made the KCF and the rest of the leaders share their income and wealth, which then removed his inferiority complex against them. By this time he also fully resonated with Biokinesis, and used some of the Kinetic Art enhancers to give him Pyrokinesis, which made him far more powerful. By this point, he was physically strong and untouchable.
Upon realizing his influence, power and wealth, he wanted more to satiate his greed. Which eventually greenlit his support for his family's political rise. He fell into a dark and evil era where he started to embezzle funds for chicanery. He became unstoppable onwards, becoming a political goliath of wealth and strategic influence.
