## Biography

### Ancient Past

Canaletto became a Lord of Chaos and saw the universe plagued with imperfection and impurity, he sought to begin his crusade to use his powers for his own gain, but the Lords of Order fought and exiled him to another dimension where he cannot do no harm. For his banishment, Canaletto planned his return when the breach is open once more to reclaim his place. He was not completely powerless and able to observe the events of civilisations rise and fall but in his belief was still plagued with imperfection and impurity.

### Current Events

Canaletto had used his limited powers to contact few chosen individuals who became his followers and pawns to carry out his orders and prepare for his long waited return. The Elementals were one of the main importances for his use and sought to make certain their paths were not intervened by minor forces such as the Gems or Crom Cruach. However, he knew they may become powerful as the Six Founding Spiral and made great attempts to prevent them reaching their full potential using the Grimm.

With the great race of the Accelerrons begun, Canaletto observed the events for his own plans, aware of the timeline being changed by the demon named Aku and found his solution to the problem. However he became aware of outside interferences from other universes and grown frustrated with them, seeking to prevent the thousand years of planning be undone.

With the possible arrival of GOLB, he has contacted one of his followers, Ragnarok to prepare for the coming events of Bill Cipher on Earth. Moments later, Canaletto summoned Bill to another world to speak with him on the terms of an alliance against GOLB and make a deal to not face each other or use their own pawns once he is freed.

In one attempt, he entered the mind of the Titan hero Raven when she was meditating to perform the Seven Chakras of Aura, persuading her to let go of this path in order to prevent Raven from obtaining the knowledge and powers of the chakra. Despite his attempts to discourage her, she refuse to back down and unlocked the seventh and final chakra, banishing him out of he mind after he proclaimed that she will regret it.
