Euphemios von Helvigson

Early Life
Euphemios is the son of Irulani King Bjorn "Ironhide" Helvigson and Crystal Helvigson, and the younger sibling to his sister, Jade. From an early age, Euphemios displayed traits of heightened intelligence, as well as a crippling sense of dread and exisential fear. for the first few years of his life, he would cause mild instances of mischief. A child with an affinity for practicality and situational adaptability, Euphemios was known to handle generally tense situations with grace and efficiency where others failed or could never hoped to have succeeded. Excelling in statecraft, military strategy and tactics, history and dabbling in languages, it was clear Euphemios was destined to govern a country rather than follow in his father's footsteps of pirating.

Euphemios was often left to his own devices, as his father was busy with helping stabilize and run the triarchal Kingdom of Irulan. To pass the time, he spent his days reading books from the then newly founded library of Irulan as well as interact with his cousins, Cornelius Godd-Fjell and Victoria Nevaris. The time he spent with the other royal children gave him time to bond with the other kings and queens of Irulan, forming a close frienship with his uncle Alphdeim Nevaris. A good deal of time was also spent with Queen WilyNily Godd-Fjell, helping her and Cornelius rennovate Irulan's capital city of Cascade during the later years of his teens.

Introduction to Temel Dizeler and Tutelage under Jade
Despite his successes and talents, Euphemios was an unordinarily depressed child. He confided to his older sister, Jade Helvigson, that he knew that there was nothing waiting for him after he would die, his essence returning to the void to be forgotten and abandoned. This was when Jade opened up to her brother what she had been experiencing; the passage of time itself. While she had stayed the same person, every so often she would receive visions about the various aspects of what makes up the universe. After a while, she told him, she had come to recognize what each part felt like, and how to find them in people. She had felt his presence for years, but could never be sure until he told her. Euphemios was a vessel of the Void, a vessel inhabited by the essence of the god Nihili. To Jade's knowledge, there had never been a vessel that does not contain the essence of the god of Space, Kehadiran. So him worrying about returning to nothing was not an unfounded childish worry; he would return to nothing, his memories and experiences never to join the others with the rest of Kehadiran.

Being told this, Euphemios reacted unusually; he looked up from the floor with a fire in his eyes and a look of determination. And with one sentence, he would seal his fate for the rest of his life: "I may return to nothing when I die, but I will not be dead so long as everyone remembers who I am and what I will do."
