## [Biography]

### [12,000 BCE-1260 BCE] Nabu the Wise

Nabu was the God of literacy, art and wisdom of the Mesopotamian pantheon, his father Anu was the Chief God of the Mesopotamian pantheon, with his sisters being "The Mistress of Heaven" Inanna later known as Ishtar and the queen of the underworld Ereshkigal, safe to say his lineage is not to be joked about. However just like many gods, almost all of them were wiped out by the White Titan Sefar, but the current king of Uruk Lugalbanda made a pact with the entity and thus his pantheon was spared from the carnage. But Nabu didn't want to sit idly by as the world burns around him, so he disobeyed the pact and sided with the other gods to fight valiantly against it, however they would all fall against the power of the entity. Seeing his will to preserve order in the world, the Lords of Order recruited him into their ranks, and even gave him a way to preserve his physical form though a special helmet.

Nabu would later be tasked to protect earth through the eyes of a compatible host, where he would soon find the company of Egypt's current court mage Khalid Ben-Hassin. Through Khalid he would create other magical artifacts that would aid him in his battles against the Lords of Chaos, like the Cloak of Destiny and the Amulet of Anubis. One night, he would sense a strange presence approaching Earth, not wanting to take any chances he would pull this strange ship to the ground. Strange visitors suddenly pop out of the vehicle resembling two avian like entities, they would soon engage the young mage in combat. After a heated confrontation, they would introduce themselves as Fol and Thal and explain themselves as part of the alien race called Thanagarians, and they are looking for an entity who caused havoc and chaos on their planet, and they tracked it down to Earth. They described the entity as somewhat of a trickster, besides him was a feline familiar who he calls "Teekl". The entity that the Thanagarians described was the same one he was fighting this whole time, both parties would soon combine their strength in taking down the formidable foe by sealing the familiar that is anchoring him to this dimensional plane, but this would cost the lives of both of Nabu's Thanagarian allies, he would save their spirits and asked them if they are willing to join him in his crusade with the Lords of Order in taking down the forces of the Lords of Chaos, both Thanagarians would agree and Nabu with the help of his host Khalid would soon find suitable hosts for both of the spirits. Offering up the body of Prince Khufu for Fol and Princess Chay-Ara for Thal. He would later create the Agents of Order alongside new allies such as the Archangel of Vengeance named Aztar and the current wielder of the Cosmic Staff, Prince Gavyn.
