## Lh\_s\_lht

Lh\_s\_lht c. 1780 AD

**Lh\_s\_lht**, better known by many other names, especially **Lhas**, was an extraordinarily powerful and long-lived telekinet, the oldest and most powerful of the Ancients.

Born in c. 6600 BC on a low-lying island in the Dogger Bank, Lh\_s\_lht's home village was inundated by rising sea levels in c. 6200 BC, after which he travelled around Mesolithic Britain, Ireland, and France for millennia as a shaman. By c. 3800 BC, Lh\_s\_lht had taken up residence along the Danube and was witness to the development of bronze metallurgy there. In c. 3000 BC Lh\_s\_lht travelled across the Mediterranean to Egypt, where he for the first time encountered a near-equal in Metka.

In Egypt together for nearly two millennia, Lh\_s\_lht and Metka would experiment with politicking and spiritual advising before eventually developing an ideology of non-interference, having found their own involvement in the affairs of the "herons" counter-productive.

In c. 1300 BC Aias arrived in Egypt as another near-equal, but by c. 1200 BC he had orchestrated the War in Heaven, which was ultimately ended when Lh\_s\_lht removed Aias' telekinetic and telepathic powers, though it also caused the near-collapse of civilization in the eastern Mediterranean.

After the War in Heaven, Lh\_s\_lht left the Mediterranean to take up travelling again. By c. 1000 BC he had arrived in China, where he would encounter another near-equal in Li Jiang. By c. 600 BC he had returned to the Mediterranean and was resident in Athens. By c. 500 BC he was resident in Massalia. In c. 1 AD he travelled north across the Atlantic to arrive in the Americas, shortly after which he was resident in Teotihuacan, where he remained until c. 500 AD.

In c. 500 AD Lh\_s\_lht returned to Europe where he took up residence in Wessex. It was in Wessex that he began the formation of the Collective. In c. 600 AD he and Metka would meet again for the first time in nearly 1300 years, after which he would disappear from his active role in the telekinet community.

By the modern age, Lh\_s\_lht was the oldest and most powerful telekinet in the world, a status he had held for more than 8000 years. Though actively involved in the Collective, Lh\_s\_lht typically disguised himself, his origins, and his abilities to let others take the most prominent roles in the organization, such that his nature and history were largely unknown, except to the other Ancients.

## Names

Given the name **Lh\_s\_lht**, meaning "~*he who sees*", as the shaman of his home village, he would maintain the name for most of his life. Several of the names he would later use were derivations of this name either phonetically or semantically. By the modern age, Lh\_s\_lht would claim not to remember his original name.

After his first arrival in Egypt in c. 3000 BC, because Lh\_s\_lht was difficult for others to pronounce, he accepted the name **Ka'a**, meaning "~*his arm raised*", which he would use in official capacities as a high priest, oracle, and advisor to pharaohs, until leaving Egypt in c. 1200 BC.

Other names used by Lh\_s\_lht would include **Lhas** (a nickname used by Metka and Aias during their time together in Egypt), **Las** (given as a name during his time at the Zhou court), **Pytheas** (adopted after taking up residence in Athens and for most of his life in Massalia), **Leheshets** (a derivation of Lh\_s\_lht used in Teotihuacan), **Lyneas** (a derivation of Lh\_s\_lht used upon his return to Europe), and **Linus** (a derivation of Lh\_s\_lht used beginning in the modern era).

## Life

Born on a small lowlying island in the Dogger Bank, Lh\_s\_lht was identified at birth as his home village's next shaman. At around the age of 20, Lh\_s\_lht succeeded his predecessor as the shaman of their village. Also at around this age, Lh\_s\_lht appeared to stop aging. Lh\_s\_lht remained the shaman for his village for several centuries, protecting the area from being inundated by rising tides. During this time, he watched his family and friends die, then their children, their grandchildren, and their great grandchildren. This experience was formative for him, and would later strongly inform his worldview, even after he had forgotten their names and other details about them.

### Ancient Travels

In c. 6200 BC, a tsunami destroyed the village and sank the last remnants of the Dogger Bank below the North Sea, though Lh\_s\_lht was able to save the villagers themselves and bring them to safety on the island of Great Britain.

Arriving on the coast of mainland Europe, Lh\_s\_lht established himself as a helper of refugees from the Dogger Bank and flooded areas along the coast. It was there that he encountered for the first time, another telekinet.

## Powers and Abilities

Immortality - Apparently immortal, Lh\_s\_lht is nearly 9000 years old but appears to be in his early 20s. Immune to all disease, aging, and with a slightly increased healing factor compared to most humans, Lh\_s\_lht does not age and is not a carrier of any diseases.

Telekinesis - An extraordinarily powerful telekinet, Lh\_s\_lht has a level of control over the world around him that far exceeds that of any other telekinet. Able to manipulate reality to the extent that he can negate the powers of other telekinets, he is nearly immune to their powers.

Telepathy - An extremely powerful telepath, Lh\_s\_lht can hide his abilities entirely from even the most perceptive telepaths. Able to perceive the thoughts and intentions of others, he can also manipulate their perceptions of the world to the extent of manifesting visual and auditory hallucinations.

Telekinetic Siphoning - Unique among all known telekinets, Lh\_s\_lht has demonstrated the ability to remove the telekinetic and telepathic powers of other telekinets, including from extremely powerful telekinets such as Aias. This removal can be either temporary or permanent.
