## Background

### **1975 - 1993: Cal'syee Nermani**

Born as Cal'syee Neramani, she was the eldest child of the Majestor Neramani & thus the heir of the Shi'ar Empire's throne. Unlike most Shi'ar, Cal'syee was born with atavistic features & was fiercely proud of it. Unfortunately, the atavism also caused her to experience fits of uncontrollable rage.

As her brother D'Ken wanted the throne for himself, he killed their mother but planned so that everyone, including Cal'syee herself, would think she did it one of her moments of rage. When her father found Cal'syee & his deceased wife, he stripped her of her name & she became known as Deathbird. She also lost the right to the throne & was exiled from the Shi'ar Empire.

### **1993 - 2003: Deathbird**

For a decade, Cal'syee remained in prison & only received visits from her younger sister Lilandra. When her father passed, her brother D'Ken took up the throne & forbid Lilandra from visiting their sister anymore. It took some time but she soon put the pieces together that her brother was in fact their mother's murderer. No one believed her & assumed she was crazy.

### **2003 - 2010: Deathbird**

On his quest for vengeance against the entire Shi'ar race, Vulcan was captured & incarcerated in the same maximum security installation that housed Deathbird. He was eventually released by a "Secret Order" of Shi'ar  D'Ken. Upon his release, he was taken to meet Deathbird & soon became enthralled by her. Under the belief of meetings to help them rebuild the empire, Vulcan & Deathbird were actually carrying on an affair & plotting for vengeance against D'Ken for their own reasons. However, she asked him to put the quest on hold until they could secure her release.

Under her request, Vulcan finished the healing process that the Secret Order had begun on D'Ken to gain their trust. When D'Ken discovered Vulcan's feelings for Deathbird, he invoked an ancient Shi'ar custom & invited Vulcan to marry Deathbird so that he could become part of Shi'ar royalty. After Vulcan & Deathbird were married, Vulcan killed D'Ken by melting him with his powers. He then assumed the throne of Emperor of the Shi'ar Empire, with Deathbird as his Empress.

After the civil war ended with Vulcan's troops on top, the two were able to begin their reign properly with Lilandra as the Grand Admiral of the Imperial Guard. Vulcan's rule was initially compared to D'Ken as the Shi'ar thought Cal'syee's husband another weak human. However, Vulcan proved that he was a strong emperor & the people fell in love with him.
