## General information

kantje used to be a controversial person in the Eventide world, many people saw his actions as sporadic, random and sometimes even downright Evil, how ever, in the end of the run kantje was proven right when Silvar opened a portal big enough for Dakarda to fit through, starting the Chaos Conflict, the last conflict kantje would see for a long time.

He was the king of kathar for 12 years until the Chaos conflict, where he dissapeared for 2.5 years and reappeared without anyone knowing of it as Snow, a figure even more controversial than the king before him already was.

### Kathar

Kathar is the country that kantje is from, but he was born in Old Kathar and raised there until 18, which is when his Father, Symond, was killed by Emperor Ballins Father near the borders of the Holy Roman Empire. kantje disappeared off the face of the world after this event and wasn't seen again until 10 years later, where he announced Kathar was back but this time with him as its head.

## History

### Early Life, Pre Coronation

As is stated above kantje was born in Old Kathar by his father King Symond and his mother who's name only he knows, kantje did not have the best experience growing up, he couldn't complain as he was the Prince of Kathar so his life was basically spoonfed to him, in his early life he barely saw issue or struggles and just lived to.. live, he never really saw a purpose beyond existing as his father didn't allow him to do more than just the bare minimum. He saw his father maybe three times a day; during breakfast, training and dinner. his Father wasn't kantjes personal trainer, more so kantjes personal judge nothing but the perfect scores where expected from kantje, he was destined to become the next Head Master of the Assasins Brotherhood.

#### Crown Prince of Crime

From the ripe old age of 6 he was trained to assassinate targets and when he was young, he was a menacing force among gangs within Old Kathar. He would often sneak out to hunt down people that committed crimes, playing into his 'I want to be the Hero' personality. He wanted to prove to his father that his current skill set was enough to take down any criminal and that he made a good replacement for his father once he were to die.

kantje was known for stealing his mothers scarf and his fathers staff using them to hide his identity while running around Masyaf hunting down criminals, bandits and all other sorts of danger.

### Long live the King!

After kantje's 18th birthday Symond was planning a quick diplomatic mission towards Paulus, the then Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. A few days after his fathers trip he still had yet to arrive home, kantje and the people of Kathar began to raise concern, Symond had never taken this long on a trip the likes of this before.

Symond eventually returned, in a chest. The king was murdered and the surviving Soldiers all pointed the blame towards Emperor Paulus who took the final swing. Kantje lost his father and was wrecked with grief and in a panic out of worry, he began to question his own capabilities and power so much he had decided to himself to run away from Kathar with all he held dear. living a life away from pressure and portraits.

#### Using the Dark to run

After kantjes coronation the parties began and the rain started to fall, the king asked to be excused and he ran towards his room, grabbing all he cared for, his mothers scarf and his fathers Staff. And he walked to the top of the castle. He was caught by the royal consult and in a heated discussion about Kathars future the consult revealed he was the one who informed the HRE about Symonds arrival and his true intentions.

kantje wanted to kill him for his treason but realized that without a king no law upheld what the consult did. So he left him on the roof and fled the country.

## New Kathar 400-410

A few days after kantje left Old Kathar he ran into a jungle, not to far from the ocean, kantje had never seen such a biome before and stood in awe of is beauty, the trees where greener than anywhere else, the grass felt softer than anywhere hes ever walked and it rained a lot there, kantje has always loved the rain. With the temprature being rather similair to home, he decided this is where he was going to settle himself for his new beginning.

kantje saw an old woman getting robbed and after taking care of the bandits and being identified as "king kantje" by one of them he realised that he'd never truly get rid of his past, he needed to hide properly. He returned the stolen goods to the woman and even she bowed for the king. He smiled but told her that she and Kantemr are free and that Kathar is gone.

#### The Cycle 400 - 410

After a while travelling, the now countryless king wandered through the jungle for just a little bit longer, eventually finding his new place to settle. He saw a hill looking over a lake, where there was trees tall enough to act as cover from the rain, he set up camp as always and started to roast a few of the wild Chickens he hunted down earlier today, he laid back a little and realised that he is rather satisfied with his current life, hes only been free for 4 weeks but it has felt like he has been free for years. Just as kantje started to day dream more and more he suddenly heard sounds coming from the bushes, he quickly grabbed the staff wanting to prepare himself for a fight but realised that he wasnt in danger. He pulled back the leaves to see a little boy, maybe 7 years old, crying, cold and alone.. He did not know what to do, he approached the child who started to fear from the what appeared to be a beast to him approach. kantje could tell the child was scared and told him to calm down kantje made clear he was not going to hurt the young boy. This helped a little bit and the boy allowed kantje to come closer. Then when kantje got a closer look to the kid he saw his eyes, and he recognised something within it, he saw hopelessnes, sadness, despair and fear. kantje had felt those emotions not even 5 weeks ago, so to confirm his theory he approached the boy and asked, 'who did you lose?' the boy looked up stopped eating the chicken he was handed to recover some strength and looked at kantje 'Everyone' he replied.

#### Faith rebound

kantje and his newly made apprentice Niko went out to get work done, Niko told kantje of the Templar forces who took down his village, and although that kantje had no idea what the Templars where at the time, he knew that they were no good news, and since kantje was now the only surviving members of the Assasins he took it to himself to train Niko to take revenge on the people who took out his family, but he was going to do so HIS way.

Niko was a quick learner and was as motivated as they could get, kantje would put Niko through many expeditions and adventures, but the ones kantje stuck closest to where the ones where Niko and the old king grew closer, he started to see Niko as his son, more than his apprentice not long after Niko turned 11. Together they met someone called 'Magnus' someone related to the Assassins and also a great builder, kantje still having enough riches after looting several bandit camps hired Magnus to work on producing a city just outside of the Jungle, Niko continued training and the day that training would end was in the year 407, Paulus would be Assasinated, kantje and Niko sneaked into Neu Rom and together they spotted Paulus, kantje told Niko he had 10 minutes to do the job in and out, and so he did. Before too long, kantje was waiting at the borders, and together they left back to the Jungle.

Although kantje was worried Niko and his actions would get too much attention he also believed in what they were doing. Destabalising the Holy Roman Empire by making Ballin Emperor by automation was the move in his eyes, it would keep the HRE Troops out of their jungles for now. Giving him and Magnus ample time to build hideouts for the relics, the Staff of Eden and the Apple Niko took with him as a young boy. Eventually thought, attention would return to the jungle. Thus kantje came up with an idea, he approached Magnus, who was around finished with Tulum and offered him a house and free living condition if he would start the construction of Monteriggioni, a city big enough to be believed to be the capital of the country, so that Tulum would go unnoticed.

### Face your fears 410-412

Nothing great lasts forever. Niko, Magnus and kantje were building Kathar one day, when an explosion could be heard coming from Kantemra, the group gathered some supplies and ran towards the sight but when they arrived, the Holy Roman Empire did too.

For the first time ever, kantje stood face to face with Ballin, together with Niko. The man whos father they murdered was right there infront of them, guided by the Pope, his advisor and a man who appeard more armour than person. Other countries too arrived, a pirate and the chief of an island nation called Koutoshima.

That was the day Kathar entered the world fray again, kantje spoke to :

Emperor Balin, who's father was kiled a few years prior by kantjes apprentice.

Pope Crucifix, loyal follower of Koda, a god of balance

Advisor Silvar, the man kantje got the weirdest feelings around

Guard Dak, An emotionless being caring only to Advisor Silvar

Knight Max, an older knight, around the age Symond would've been if he was still alive

Lady Zoe, Quiet and kept to herself, didn't seem way too interested in talking, while being very mesmorized by the material around the comet

Chief BSK of Koutoshima, A dangerous mercenary living on the island north of Kathar within Kotoushima Bay.

Icy of the Encalve, a mute member of the group of Pirates at the Enclave of the Unnamed
