## Also Known As

## Backstory

One of the many brave terrarians to fight in the Resistance, a ragtag group of terrarians opposed to Cthulhu during their reign, led by the Chosen One. After their victory, the heroes all went separate ways, Permafrost nominated to become the new ruler of the Ice Kingdom. He maintained peace within the kingdom for a good while, eventually getting married and having a child. Although, one day, he felt a small quake in the world, which was later to be revealed as Yharim’s slaughter of the former Jungle Council. A few years later, the Tyrant approached Permafrost in hopes of learning Ice Magic. Permafrost states that his kind were the only people capable of using Ice Magic, and that even if he were able to, he would refuse to teach the Tyrant. The Archmage feared the worst, but Yharim just nodded and left politely.

The next day he had the Archmage’s entire palace crushed into a single mass of ice, with Permafrost inside, then had Calamitas melt every last building in the Ice Kingdom to nothing, killing every last resident, including the Archmage's family. Permafrost was left, trapped inside the elemental now known as Cryogen, for over two thousand years, unable to age, until he was eventually freed by a certain group of travelers.

He has since been invited to live in their village.
