He could not remember anything of his past or why he was placed in a random forest out of nowhere. Pontios Would start a his long trip to find a place to call home. Pontios 1st stop would be in a mountain fortress of Beþenk-dum, where he would take minimal amounts of food, to survive. The fortress seemed to be uninhabited and abandoned but Pontios left a mark there and went west for a better chance of finding others. Pontios 2nd stop would be at a destroyed dark oak mansion out in the wild plains. The mansion granted protection for the extreme weather and provided alot of wheat to make bread and stock up on food. With no life nearby, Pontios decided to walk even more west, in the hope for something.

Pontios 3rd stop ended up at a gravestone for the dead Mooshroom pet. He decided to drop a flower in the chest to show his condolences to the pet owner. After this he decided to go westwards once more. After a lot of walking Pontios ended up at the Northern border area of Theios-Essukdal, where he began to see the endless desert in front for him. Pontios being exhausted after a lot of walking, seeked safety inside a little cave that is now know as the Pontinne Cave. Here he would take time to think about this so far, and prepare for any mental challenges in the futures. It was here the Pontios decided to walk south in the hopes of something being alive.

Pontios would after a lot walking reached the cities Zir-Qalman, Saval-Kharim, Gebel, Essuki-Akir and Theiotokos While walking southwards in hope of finding someplace where he could settle down and live his life, but he found no home in any of these towns, so he pressed onwards

This lead him to 0,0 where from there he decided to go Eastwards, with his last willpower left in him. He almost gave up when he reached the city of Carmelior-Gulard seeing its state, but then in the distance, he could see, smell and hear the sounds of the Capital of Theios-Essukdal, Urnu-Arrak.

ADINIZ and Pontios formed a strong bond of their shared ties to not knowing who they were before coming to Rathnir and their shared hatred towards bandits. While ADINIZ fought against the bandits Pontios would always support from the backlines and give gear to ADINIZ and Grobto. Thou on the 5th Day, after the war had stop and everything seemed fine, his best friend ADINIZ, seemed to have entered a moment of distress and insanity.

While Pontios was fishing, the man Stoney himself showed up and saw the fun in the fishing event, and even joined in for a short moment before leaving. Stoney left behind an artifact known as the "Spicy Salmon" which was a salmon with Fireaspect II on it. Later on during the event, as the fate of Rathnir itself was on the line, People of Theios-Essukdal decided to help partake in the fixing of the moon, by building a giant statue of a waxing Gibbus on top of the Skypillar. The building was mainly done by Pontios and StoryStudio, with others helping out shaping the final design of the waxing Gibbus statue. After its completion, Sir pontios would go around the world and tour the land before it all inevitably would end, but it turned out that people saved Rathnir in time from Jazzon and Entropy's madness, leading to Pontios going on with his life normally after the event.
