## Biography

Mortan Atalar began his life, on Atalar as a son of Sophia and the fourth of her seven children. His father would not be known, for Sophia had an entire harem to her. He grew up raised by Sophia and her court and was very close to his brother, Arthan. He also proved himself to be ruthless.

Around -7,010, Sophia decided that she was ready to unite all nations under her will. Mortan asked to take care of House Tianming himself and flew with his dragon, Imranim. There, he offered Tianming Jue, King of Eastern Plains, to submit peacefully. As Jue refused, the Prince of Atalar left. Two days later, he burnt down Tianming Seat and every single castle that opposed to him, declaring himself as King of the Eastern Plains and choosing fire as his element. As such, he was among the Monarches of Atalar as Monarch of the Aban Region. For his seat, he chose the burned Tianming Seat as a reminder that he was the one who got Tianmings extinct.

Seven Houses were chosen as Dukes during Mortan's rule. They were Houses Han, Xiongnu, Qing, Yuan, Tang, Zhou and Li. Around -50, he impregnated a woman that gave birth to Xia Zheng, his bastard son, although bastardry was not a concept in Atalar. He proved to be a competent ruler, although ruthless and uncaring for regions around, favouring his region first. Meleath Ashbras, who grew familiar with all of Sophia's children, once said that Mortan was the Iron of the Family, for he was ruthless, cold and would rather break than bow. In that, he was similar to Tianming Jue. In 2,843, Mortan Atalar rose up in rebellion, to claim independence, although he was defeated later. His will to revolt however was not forgotten, and he never remained really loyal to Atalar.

Eventually, Arthan and Mortan argued, as Mortan became more and more rebellious and clear in his desire to secede, and they couldn't stand each other, even despite Sophia's best efforts. It went to the point of physical agression until -30 where, at the Golden Mount, Arthan and Mortan met with an army and their dragons, Arthan trying to ensure Mortan would stay in Atalar while Mortan wanted to leave. There, they fought and both killed each other. After his death, the Aban Region would collapse as all of the Dukes claimed to rule while Xia Zheng, using the other Regions as an example, told he was the true ruler as the only son of Mortan.

## Personnality

Mortan is cunning and clever as well as extremely ruthless. He was uncaring to everything that wasn't about the Eastern Regions. It was mentionned Mortan saw his Dukes as political allies and servants. It was unknown whether he cared, or even knew, about Xia Zheng. However, he was very much caring about the Eastern Fields, and did think about them in priority. He was also cold and ruthless in times of war like in times of peace. He ended up valuing his safety and freedom above his mother's will, as he gradually grew to be rebellious, although still in his cold behaviour. This eventually went beyond expectation as this desire caused his death. Mortan was loyal to his mother but not to excess and did confess he felt towards her the same thing soldiers feel towards a general, loyalty but not love. Unlike what can be thought, he respected Jue's power but disregarded his pride. He himself was prideful though, and was absolutely ambitious.
