## Biography

### Background

#### Early Life

Aeternitas was an player originating from the World of 2138 as an mechanical engineer who in his research tried to create alternative means to increase the quality of life in the world. To most he was an legendary inventor who endangered himself by constantly going outside into the polluted Earth in hopes to find anything to decrease the toxicity of the Earth and to terraform it back to its original condition prior.

At some point Aeternitas soon got into video games between his work to relax and to enjoy what he currently has since he'd be considered one of the richer individuals in the World of 2138. He'd soon got into YGGDRASIL where he actually assisted the developers during the developmental process as an sponsor and to develop more advanced hardware for the game. Upon launch, he was taken aback by the world of YGGDRASIL and the effort and passion of the developers as put into it. Everyday during breaks, he'd go into the world of YGGDRASIL and do as much research as he can on the environment, the sky, mechanics and other to see if anything could help him with his real-world research. As he gained levels as an unknown race in the classes of craftsmanship and well being an magic caster where he was approached by Alessia, who is very aware on who he is and asked for his assistance. Alessia offered to help him in his impossible task of "curing" the Earth in exchange that he assist her in fighting the Knights of the Round Table by providing weapons, armour and to provide upgrading aid and repair any equipment of any Alessian member. As long she helps him with the research, he doesn't care and agrees with the proposal, becoming an member of the Alessian Faction.

#### War of Midgard

Aeternitas was rarely seen in the battles during the War for Midgard, an realm-expanding conflict between the Alessian Factrion and the Knights of the Round Table. In most cases he is confined to key locations during war, often in Alessian strongholds to perform repairs on equipment or to create equipment once an Alessian member has given him the materials (or currency in compensation of using materials he gathered himself). While an craftsman by heart, he was considered one of the Alessuan Faction's strongest members as an magic caster due to his high intellect and the Sword of Heka that elevated him as an high-tier magic caster and can be utilized as an proper sword without the skills like in the Warrior classes.

At some point during the war, Alessia entered into his forgery to discuss on the future developments of new weapon types for the Alessian Faction where she along with Aeternitas and two other were to hunt down for an World Item to be used on the Knights of the Round Table's guildmaster Pendragon. He'd agree to the prospect as he was wandering in acquiring one himself and to deal a damaging blow is to raid the legendary Great Tomb of Nazarick. Alessia questioned why as it may require more players then the four of them which he responded that they possess Longinus. Alessia smirked and agreed to take Longinus from the Ainz Ooal Gown. He'd then armed himself with *Divine*-class Items as Alessia introduced ten high-ranking Alessian members to perform an raid on the Tomb. Lead by Alessia the 13-player party went to raid upon the Great Tomb, being the first ones to then truly pose an threat and a challenge to the Ainz Ooal Gown guild members. While Alessia along with two others ventured to locate Longinus, Aeternitas would go to explore the Tomb to gather as much intelligence as he can, utilizing his magfic casting classes and the Sword of Heka to deflect and kill any attackers. Eventually as he encountered at least one guild member, Alessia told him to fall back as she was able to take Longinus but was critically wounded by Touch Me. Abiding her command, he'd quickly escaped the Tomb without however suffering damage to himself upon Ulbert Alain Odle almost annhildating him with a single spell from the World Disaster job class.

With Longinus in Alessia's possession, when not in use or planned to be used, the World Item was kept by Aeternitas for safe keeping in his private vault as he continued his world improving, repairing or creating equipment for the Alessian Faction.

During the later years of the War, Aeternitas was relocated to Fort Jericho located somewherein the outer rim lands of Midgard where the Knights of the Round Table backed by other players such as Lionheart and Týr. To counter, Aeternitas took command of the Alessian Faction in the fort and defend it with their lives, the beginnings of the Battle of Fort Jericho. As the battle ensured, he realized as an mechanical engineering involved in the game, he has created tiny automatons to act as security sentries inside, which one was alarmed, where an small group got inside. He'd went to confront where he encountered an player of small stature wearing an blue hat but utilizing magic of blue energy. He'd questioned the child-like player before striking wit the Sword of Heka only to his suprise the kid-like player evaded the strike by opening an Gate-like portal and appeared above him, being struck in the head. He'd backed from the child as he underestimated him by judging him based on the avatar, and to not make that mistake again. However he then became surrounded when two other players emerged; Lionheart and Týr who told him that there is no escape for those who sides with Alessia. With no choice, he'd materializes Longinus, causing the child player, Lionheart and Týr to back off as a single touch can lead to both themselves and the wielder's character to be deleted entirely. With this new threat and the fact Alessia has soon appeared reinforced, Lionheart ordered the Knightly faction to retreat as it was unexpected and the fact it was clearly rigged from the inside, and so the battle was a Alessian victory.

However before succumbing to his wounds caused by Týr, Aeternitas only expressed his choices that he only wish to return to his original old home from Earth, back to his old life and continue his progression of engineering practices, he did not mean to harm nor take over the world or became an evil god. However he desperation to return home and rising anxiety of not being able to took the form of intensified fear of not doing so, expressing his sorry even though he caused and killed many innocent lives. He does not expect forgiveness but did express that his creation, especially the Box of Eternity must've fallen into the wrong hands before finally dying in the arms of Týr.

While many of the Heroes and the Goddesses express that his actions was wrong, but ultimately understood with many coming to sympathize the old aged player in returning back to their original homeworld of Earth. While not fully forgiven for his atrocities, his body was however respected, being given an grave site in the place he died where his equipment is shown above the grave in front of his tombstone. His expression and wanting to return home inspired Týr and the Nine Goddesses to go north where they'll found a home for themselves, leading to the creation of the Nine Kingdoms.
