The Historian

The Historian is the nickname given to the son of The Silent One, and the only known individual who he divulged his knowledge of the Jilms with. He is arguably one of the most important people in modern Jilm history, as his second hand accounts are the only source of much of the Jilms origins and personal history. Ironically not much is known about the man himself, as he never bothered to write about himself much causing most of his personal history to be lost to time. He is responsible for the Records and Sayings of the Visored One, a monumental historical and theological text concerning Dynamo and his transformation into the Visored One, considered required reading by Dynamists and one of the most printed writings in history.
It is known that he went in search of a fabled drink of immortality sometime after the death of his father, eventually finding an ice cave deep within eastern lands that held its milk and honeydew, as told in the rush song Xanadu. Unfortunately for him he was trapped within the cave for thousands of years, eventually becoming maddened by the isolation. When he was finally freed he found a world much changed, as even though The Cosmic Alliance had yet to contact Earth Badabing-class space ship had finally made small stretches of the cosmos open to mankind. With this he heard tales of a black hole in the deep reaches of space known only has Cygnus X-1, which was said to have killed anyone who had dared to approach it. Feeling a wave of depression and still in obvious madness at his situation he dared to fly through Cygnus and reach the other side or die trying.
He traveled for weeks before reaching his target. Unfortunately for him the black hole ripped every nerve in his body to shreds, destroying it and casting his mind and soul across the cosmos and the eons. While a personal tragedy this event did finally bring Earth to the attention of The Cosmic Alliance, which extended membership some decades later. As for the historian, his mind would find itself in a place he could only describe as Olympus. Within these sacred grounds he found beings known only as The Watchers, who told him that his fate had been foretold and to go forth and look after a Visored One who would soon make himself known. Simultaneously he was to travel back in time and inform a group known as Rush all he had learned so they too may tell the story and aid this Visored One on his quest. With that he was transformed into an Astral Being and given powers above even the watchers to fulfill his quest, joined by Christian Ram Anderson and Neil Peart as a holy trinity that would attempt to hold against a forthcoming Dark God.
