## Real life story

Daimyo was the real-life Pomeranian of Artix Krieger. From 1 June 2001 until 27 March 2017 he accompanied Artix on many adventures.

Being the mascot of Artix Entertainment, he saw the company being founded; got cared for by its early and later employees. And even occasionally taken a walk with by anyone at the 'Secret Underground Lab' known as the base of Artix Entertainment's operations.

When Artix was at work, Daimyo was there too. Strolling trough the building, hunting after bones, food and attention. And a welcome guest at any department.

His presence at the Secret Underground Lab brought smiles to everyone, even guests and representatives. Over time some Artix Entertainment employees could bring their own pets to work. And that is how Daimyo got in contact with the pets of Faith and Dage the Evil, and how he befriended Suki the dog of Ai No Miko.

When Daimyo grew older, Artix married Trinnie in real-life and he was brought to the wedding in a tuxedo by Faith.

As he grew really old for a Pomeranian, health issues arose and needed to be taken care of. Faith took up a loving care for Daimyo in these times and was quickly one of his favourite persons besides Artix.

*"- there are not enough words to express, but I know, that Faith was Daimyo's favorite person."* - Artix

In the last weeks of March 2017, the heart issues of the fierce, but friendly, Pomeranian became too severe to be cured. Artix played through all the games together with Daimyo one last time before his little battle puppy laid down his head on March 27 that year.

*"Battle on, Daimyo! ...and if all the deaths in the world suddenly stop, we will know it is because you got a hold of the Grim Reaper and are using him as a chew toy." - Artix*
