Early life
Poldi, along with his half-brother, IMytz, were members of a group of seafaring nomads called The Poths throughout the earlier years of their life. These nomads would travel along coastlines, making a living by fishing and the trade of goods. Poldi wasn't the most useful or productive of the group due to his physical weakness and his vulnerability to illnesses. Poldi believed that this was the reason why he, IMytz and TheEman233, fellow members of the tribe, found themselves abandoned on the coast of Paloro, around the area Ottilate is located today, until his older brother, Eman, told him that it was to spread Anglism. The three met Keechoo in the Ottilatesi archipelago and Keechoo offered them hospitality. Due to the three being unable to locate their tribe, they decided to remain in Paloro. The three were adopted by Keechoo, joining the Paloro dynasty and in Poldi's case, becoming heir to the throne despite being younger than his brothers.

Early Paloran days
Poldi enjoyed fishing greatly due to his past as a Poth. Angling reminded him of the home he lost and allowed him to feel connected with his lost family. Due to this he would spend hours at a time angling in front of his house in Palovina as it was situated near a river. Later on in his life, when he was 22, Mytz convinced him to start up his own town as Mytz had done 4 years before, with Atris, he called the town Ottilate.

His time as the Ottilatesi mayor was short lived, as his father Keechoo would soon give up his mortal body to his god, Ashuntash. Poldi believes that it was misfortune cursed upon Keechoo by Anglity that resulted in his death.

During his time as mayor he worked on Ottilate's infrastructure and invited immigrants to move into Ottilate, accepting people from all cultures and backgrounds bar Entropy worshipers. Ottilate quickly grew and Poldi had a great time caring for the town and starting up his shop, Poldi's Parlour of Pesky Pesce Products. Come down to the PPPPP for the greatest oceanic output of goods that man can buy, ranging from measly leather scraps and cooked fish to books, bows and rods enchanted with the most magical of enchants. This shop would fit the needs of the Ottilatesi citizens, but not bring Poldi much profit. His time spent as mayor was cshortoff as he was crowned the king of Paloro, causing him to resign as mayor and take up responsibility as king.

Poldi's reign of Paloro
Poldi reigned for 20 years, from the ages of 23-43. His reign ended due to him abdicating from the Tsoto position.

Paloran independence
Poldi wished for Paloro to be neutral and for his people to not see war. Though Paloro was a member of the 2nd empire of Uldarash upon his coronation, which made this difficult. Poldi, with the help of others (kept anonymous for their safety), enabled Paloro to declare independence from the empire along with a couple of other nations. Though, they did not follow suit as planned.Paloro's independence was guaranteed by Yimmu-Audal once they gained independence, this allowed for Poldi and his council to focus on Paloro's internal problems.

Hospital troubles
Poldi personally opened the first Paloran hospital, The Hospital of Ottilate, later renamed the Eldepf Potheld's Hospital. It offers hospitality and treatment to the ill, free of charge. He tried for years to get permission to build a similar hospital, with more space, in Palovina. However, he was unsuccessful as the Palovinan mayor didn't want one built. He got permission in Atris, though as its numbers dwindled, the plans to build a hospital was scrapped, as the cost to build and maintain it would be too great.

Death of Mytz
after the death of Poldi's half brother, Mytz of Atris, he spiralled into a deep depression. He remained locked up in his house for roughly half a year, rarely leaving the house and rarely eating.

Mytz's death impacted Poldi's view on the world. It reminded him of just how humble and insignificant everything is. He was always rather humble, but the death of Mytz, a man he idolised his entire life, only acted to humble him more. Mytz had died suddenly at the age of 37, only a couple of years older than Poldi. Mytz had great things coming for him and his life was taken by a simple accident of which the cause isn't known. This could be him. Poldi didn't want to die so early, without any children or without being able to do everything he wanted to achieve and do. But he didn't have much time in his eyes. He wanted to find a way to prolong his life. Time is the most valuable resource, and he wanted as much of it as possible.

A new Poldi
Whilst reading many books on immortality and related topics, he found knowledge of the Eldhamite vampires. The information in this book wasn't complete, but Poldi thought of it as his best bet at immortality. He travelled for roughly 90 days from Ottilate to Loblantis, where he underwent a ritual performed by Robster to become an Ōkeanos vampire.

Poldi returned to Ottilate, proud of his new abilities and believing himself to have become the newest vessel of the Anglist spirit, Anglity. Though, now unable to live with his son, the pufferfish, Rundi.

Coming to terms
Poldi realised that he had not become a god. It had been years and no matter how hard he tried, he could only produce very small amounts of water through hydromancy and could not manipulate fortune in any way.

He was deeply disappointed, but didn't believe his transformation to be a waste whatsoever. He had all the time in the world, after all.

He made a few jumps in logic and began to believe that he was the only one able to communicate with Anglity. Previously, Anglism had no hierarchical structure amongst its followers. But now Poldi thought there ought to be one, with him at the top.

Appearance
Poldi is short, rather thin and frail, standing at 158cm/5'2 tall. Due to him becoming an Okeanos Vampire at the age of 37, alot of his previous aging was reversed, so he has aged like that of a late teenager. His skin is very pale, though tends to redden easily, meaning that he often has rosy cheeks, or develops a rather red face in whole when stressed or embarrassed. He has strawberry blonde hair that becomes lighter the longer it is, it curves very lightly, though is usually straightened. Poldi has deep, golden, iridescent eyes that appear to glow faintly around his slit pupils. Though they do not often show much expression, which commonly makes it difficult for those who newly meet him to have trouble reading his expressions.
