SibCDC (Pontifex Maximus)

Pontifex Maximus SibCDC was the spiritual and political leader of the Pontificate of Neo Boreopolis from 37 AUC (S-2020 date) to 978 AA (S-2012 date).

## Biography

SibCDC was born in 0 AUC, right after the founding of the Pontificate of Neo Boreopolis. His parents were part of the original flock of the Prophet Eli, who followed him from the Spawn area to Mount Calaikastro. SibCDC grew up under the Pontificate of P.M. Diogenes and witnessed the growth of Neo Boreopolis as a thriving city. By the age of 18, SibCDC was already ingrained in the city's elite due to his parents' position in the clergy. Joining the military, SibCDC further gained prominence as a leader figure.

In 27 AUC, SibCDC was elected as one of the Pontificate's Bishops, mostly due to his support in military circles. As Bishop, SibCDC further worked his way towards the position of Pontifex Maximus. Eventually, when P.M. Diogenes passed away in January of 37 AUC, SibCDC was elected by the Council of Neo Boreopolis to succeed him. Under his rule, the Pontificate would further expand and establish relationships with its closest neighbours.

Pontifex Maximus SibCDC's closest allies would become Principe Tom of Tomopolis and Emperor Kevindec of Wineghem. Together, they would eventually found the Nations of the East. However, SibCDC also endeavoured to entertain positive relations with the leaders of the western nations. He personally donated resources to the Unified Tribes of Chiyesa for the construction of their temple, and gifted an entire cathedral to the Wallaceian Empire.

In October of 40AUC, troops from Neo Boreopolis and from Tomopolis personally led by the Pontifex and the Principe defeated the Ender Dragon, thus freeing the End and fulfilling one of the Prophecies of Eli. As a result, SibCDC ordered the Council of Neo Boreopolis to revisit the doctrines of the Elinite Faith and establish the Three Pillars of the Faith.

In 42 AUC, the Pontifex and the Principe led the effort to found the International Community by drafting its founding articles. The Pontifex also tried to prevent the outbreak of the 26 Minute War, but was unable to do so. This resulted in a strategic shift towards the Nations of the East. The Pontifex subsequently began positioning the Pontifex more and more as the world's policeman. This led the Pontifex on a collision course with Chief Maplic of Chiyesa. After the Eastern Coalition War against Chiyesa, the Pontifex attempted to de-escalate relations by establishing the Diocese of Chege Itų from the Chiyesan part of the Diocese of New Arcburg. However, in the long run, this led to the emergence of the Ahmanite Faith.

After Principe Tom's sudden disappearance, the Pontifex ordered an order of monks to establish a monastery in Tomopolis to guarantee the Principality's support for the Nations of the East. In December of 46 AUC, a group of heretic Elinites from Chiyesa, led by the Seer Maplic, headed down south to found the Theocratic State of Ahman and to establish the Ahmanite Faith. These so called Ahmanites accused the Church of Eli and Neo Boreopolis to have fallen into apostasy and corruption. Following a referendum and a unanimous vote in the Council, the Pontifex Maximus excommunicated followers of the Ahmanite Faith from the Church of Eli. In July of 47 AUC, a miracle occurred when the Prophet Eli returned from the heavens to write a new Testament. Under his command, the Crusade against the Ahmanites was called after they dared to call Eli a false prophet. A siege was quickly conducted against the Ahmanite capital and their temple was reclaimed in the name of Eli. The Ahmanite Faith was abolished, those who did not convert where eliminated. In the aftermath of the crusade, the Prophet Eli wrote the Newest Testament, before returning to the heavens. During this entire episode of Neo Boreopolean history, the Pontifex secured the unitary nature of the Church of Eli and secured the loyalty of its branches abroad.

During the Great War, Pontifex Maximus SibCDC led his armies into battle. While the war ended in a stalemate, the position of the Pontifex was strengthened. After the Great Collapse, SibCDC led the Pontificate during the transition from S-2020 to S-2012. After the signing of the Treaty of Jotunheim, the Pontificate eventually joined the United Nations. In 960 AA (S-2012 date), the Pontifex declared Duke Titanium of Montecazzo a saint and renamed the star fort in Neo Boreopolis in his honor. In his latter years, the Pontifex secured his succession and ensured that the Elinite Faith would survive after the shock of the collapse. In 978 AA, Pontifex SibCDC passed away at the age of 75.
