Early life
Poldi, along with his half-brother, IMytz, were members of a group of seafaring nomads called the Poths for the early part of their lives. These nomads would travel the outskirts of the heart of Haven, making a living by fishing and 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 believes that this may be why he, IMytz and TheEman233, fellow members of the tribe, found themselves "lost" in the outskirts of Paloro, around the area Ottilate is located today. The three met Keechoo in Paloro and he offered them hopsitality. Due to the three being unable to locate their tribe, they decided to remain in Paloro. Mytz and Poldi were adopted by Keechoo, joining the Paloran dynasty and in Poldi's case, becoming heir to the throne despite being younger than his brother, Mytz.

Pre-King Poldi
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 long 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. 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 cut off as he was crowned the king of Paloro, causing him to resign as mayor and take up responsibility as king.

During Poldi's reign he has allowed Paloro to declare it's independence from the second empire of Uldarash, a task he inherited from his father, who died before being able to declare independence. Poldi also brought free healthcare to Paloro, starting with the hospital of Ottilate. The hospitals allow those in need to receive care, and sometimes treatment if a cure is known and available.

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.
