## History

### Background

Marjaana is an ancient Queen of Brain Flayers, and according to old documents, she has existed for over 10,000 years. She originated from an unknown dimension, the same as other members of the Brain Flayers. However, later became one of the nine nobles of the Dark World, known as the Wise Lord.

Marjaana is the older sister of Mauzer, the now current Brain Flayer Queen, which has taken over the Post-Apocalyptic Future Universe. Not wanting to be a part of the invasion of other dimensions by Brain Flayers, Marjaana led a small group of like-minded Brain Flayers to a Demon Realm. Her most loyal member is her knight, Suzuka. Other bases were build in a nearby connected Human Realm, and one underground city, right below the later Gosha Library.

Marjaana was worshiped as the goddess "Ushas" and one of her guards Eos, would protect her underground city in the Human World. The shrine she lived in was worshiped as one of the goddesses of ninja. In reality, people just assumed she was a powerful god and would curse people otherwise. However, at some point in the distant past, Marjaana fully separated and abandoned many of her bases to become ruins all over the Human Realm. Marjaana only makes sure that they are not found and exploited,

She is now exclusively active in the Demon Realm, as she gained fame and reputation. Though uncertain if universal, the 9 Noble Demon Families, added her to their ranks and made her the "Wise Lord" and she has strong ties to Ragnarok.

### Timeline RPGX

When Marjaana escaped from the main brain flayer forces, she took with her a very powerful artifact called the Tesserac, which was later stolen and found its way into the hands of the Koukawa clan and later DSO.

She lived a life of seclusion in the demon world, but because of her power and long life, she became one of the 9 nobles, regardless of not being a demon. Marjaana wants to maintain this oligarchy, in order to maintain peace in the demon world. Under her serves Ragnarok Sinmara, the queen of Frost Demons and she also is friends with Astaroth queen of the Inferno Demons.

Marjaana feels indebted to Fuuma and Future Yukikaze, who destroyed the Tesserac. The Tesserac was originally a secret treasure passed down from generation to generation in the royal family, and its influence is felt in multiple dimension at once. It could have doomed the current timeline and lead to a full invasion of the Brain Flayers if not destroyed like it did.

As a thank you, for destroying the Tesserac, she gave Fuuma Kotaro a book written in an unknown language, when they parted.

In year **2087**, she tasked Suzuka, to investigate the intruder alert, which one of her bases in the human realm gave. Marjaana also asked Ragnarok Sinmara to take care of a number of bandits hired in secret by the Corpse Lord, which caused some chaos in the "Unknown Land" region of the demon realm.

### Timeline Dark Future

It is mentioned that it was **Marjaana**, the Wise Lord, that destroyed the Demon Gates when the Brain Flayer invasion began. It is currently not fully understood if two Marjaanas exist, and this information might later change.

### Timeline TABA/AT
