## Alignment - Lawful Neutral

Midas is lawful neutral as he holds a set of personal codes and laws above all other influences to his actions. Though mostly taken from the Laws of Dwarvenkind his personal code is also influenced by his fanatical obsession with archaeology.

## History

Midas first appeared on the opening day of the Afterglow SMP where he was antagonistic and rude to the "giants" of the server but become allies with Natarii. He later built a hidey hole underneath a hedge near the temple.

Later on Midas forged an alliance with Tiny Boys INC. and Cheech independently of each other. Midas and Cheech worked together to build farms and discussed their homes and cultures becoming close. Midas moved to the Tiny Boys INC. base and set up a temporary tent there as they began excavation.

MIdas was the first individual to discover the End stronghold and took back many artifacts for archaeological study. After his protective crown was broken he forged a crown of gold found within the stronghold believing it to be of greater power. Midas noted that his expedition was "not stealing if everyone is already dead, that's called archaeology".

Midas spent ten (IRL) days in dwarven hibernation after construction of a hibernation hole, awakening to find enchantments within the world.

Midas began creation of a museum in the Tiny bois hidey hole. His **collection is listed below**.

A meeting was held between Cheech and Midas as a check in where Midas discovered Cheech's mentally compromised state and Midas warned Cheech not to commit Techno-heresy with his construct army.

Midas was attacked and harshly injured by Xevarokk the Covetous. He managed to escape from the pursuer with a grappling hook but fell and was immobilized for a short time. He then began collecting snippets of the strange language he spoke.

Fiji and Midas were threatened and antagonized by General after he arrived at their home. After much tense debate and discussion the parties ultimately resigned themselves to a treaty of neutrality with each other.

Alongside many other characters, Midas attended the Spruceshire investigation. During the event he discovered multiple important items including books, an ender medallion, and items used to open the vault. During the battle against the plant monster Midas lent his rocket launcher to Hamilton who ultimately defeated the boss.

Alongside, Olive, Iron, and Snowuh Midas was taken by Xeverokk and imprisoned. He was eventually freed before taking part in the failed battle against Xeverokk and collecting many Scar Clan artifacts. After the battle Midas was offered free drinks by Ronin in the Redline and returned home.

The final battle against Clan Scar included many shining moments from Midas. He was instrumental in killing leagues of mercenaries, solving the wind riddle, and ultimately aiding in the battle the killed Xeverokk. Midas was one of the few who did not lose a life in the event and recovered a hoard of wealth post-battle.

During the Festival Midas unveiled his museum and took part in the talent show as an assistant to Hamilton. That night He came to Hamilton in his time of need and hosted the final skirmish against General in his base. Afterward he healed Final and gained a grudge against Phoenix for her unco-operative behavior that lead to many being injured. It was at this event Cosmos was revealed to Midas.
