Biographical Information
by Marquis Alazraham

Ages ago, before Lord British came to Sosaria.. before Britannia was a twinkling in anyones imagination, Sosaria was dominated by a single kingdom. That kingdom was named Akalabeth, and it's king was named Wolfgang. Wolfgang gave birth to two heirs, one of whom he named Mondain. At the time, Magic was an unknown science, and the Akalabethians believed that its use corrupted the souls of the unwary. One such person was Mondain.

King Wolfgang one day took his heirs into his study, and showed them the inheritance which they would one day recieve. A special ruby gemstone, the most perfect in all the land. Mondain did not have to wait long for his inheritance, he slew his father that very night, and kept the gem for himself.

Without their beloved King, the land degenerated into land squabbles and the cities formed their own city-states. One of them eventualy led to the formation of Britannia, and the summoning of Mondains demise.

Little is known about what Mondain did between Wolfgangs death, and his sudden emergence some years later. During this time he met a young woman named Minax, and made her his apprentice. They both began work on a living Machine named Exodus as well, but Mondains attentions slowly turned again to the ruby gemstone.

Mondains objective was to bind the world of sosaria to the ruby gem, thus creating the Gem of Immortality and ensuring Mondains grip on Sosaria for all time. Fortunately, the stranger shattered the gem just as Mondain was finishing his ritual. There is, however another viewpont to this story:

by Mordain

Mondain as a young man Mondain had special gifts. His magic powers were developing at an abnormal rate. His father Wolfgang encouraged him to learn all he could until he was ready to aquire the Gem of Immortality and use its power's as his father had before him. However Wolfgangs health had deteriorated and soon he passed away. This was about the same time a stranger called "British" had come into the public eye and he wished to sieze power for himself. Knowing that Mondain was the rightful heir he devised a plan and decieved the populas, convincing them that Mondain had actually murdered his father for the gem. Mondain was forced into hiding within his castle upon Mt. Drash where he began to use the gem to attain an army of his own to reclaim his lands. Upon the virge of victory British had his wizard Nystle open a gate and send for somone who could contend with the will of Mondain. A stranger came forth and with a clumbsy stroke destroyed the Gem of Immortality and bannishing Mondain into another relm.
