Goldentigris78 also known as Bishop Golden Tigris Apollo O’Cath, was and still is a devout worshiper of the Sky Goddess, Lux.

Early Years
Golden has encountered Lux countless of times during his life.

His earliest memory of Lux, was when he took a pilgimage with his parents to Luxios, on their way there. They stoped by a large walled off compound, (which happend to be the Holy site of Tenebris), just outside the ancient ruins of Xaticz.

When he slept right next to his parents, he seen a vision, where Lux was walking towards him from the city of Luxios, she encourged him to serve her, love her, and, admire her, and as he kept on doing so he would see her blessings in the form of her presence.

He once belonged to the tribe of the Idan. Where he once served as an Army Commander under the king Abshakazar III.

He also had a family of five with him and his wife, Nimshibi. But on a faithful day, due to an internal political squablle with the government of Idan at the time. His house was raided by bandits and raised to the ground. His wife and five children were also killed. Their blood splattered on the walls of the home, and what was left for him to witness, after his night of hiding was a message written with his family's blood, "To the survivor of this massacre: You are next." Since then Golden has been a nomad looking for a place to stay, until he eventually landed in Sorrenburg.

Golden spent his life in the town of Sorrenburg, where he made many new friends, especially with the sound yet sometimes immature, Ludju123456 in The Regions of Loria.

But due to leadership disputes between Ludju123456 and Lukas Lordinger. Golden felt threattened by the situation leading him to howl empty threats to Lukas and Loria.

Golden was subsequently killed by Fury infont of the newly refurbished altar of Lux, turned nether portal in Barlinium. After speaking to Fury, Golden later had a grater grasp over the messy situation at large.

It was because of this that Golden decided to stay in Tortuga but move to Borhammar to be under the sounder man himself, Furyachelfg. While Ludju and his company ventured south west to Relmont, to set up New Sorrenburg there.

Time in Borhammar
In recent times, Golden lived in Borhammar, with his beaufiful spouce, Viola Rosa De'Martell. He was working as a builder, miner, and fisherman in Tortuga, lending a helping hand in everyway that he can. He often attends Luxite events, to celebrate his beloved Goddess, Lux.

By the same, Archduke of the Archduchy of Loria, Lukas Lordinger, he was given the title of Archbishop and with it the right and athority to reclaim Old Sorrenburg, which he later renamed, Goldensburg, while simultaneously suffering many griefing attempts from the hand of Ludju himself at least that's what he heard and believed.

Unfortunately, Golden felt betrayed by his fellow Tortugans, when his ex-leader, Ludju, wanted to live in Borhammar with him and attend Golden's wedding with Viola. Disgusted, shocked, angry and full of fear, Golden cut all of his ties with both Furyachelfg and his wife Viola also with all of Tortuga. He left for Carthya, Bardonia, where he lived alone in the Tower of Tigris.

Although now, Golden has a close friendship with Fury, as for where he lives, he lives in Sake Den, in the Tower of Tigris mark II, With his newly wedded wife Meow O'cath.

Pre and Post the Lorian-Borhammar conflict
Golden moved back to Borhammar with his family. But as time went on, his family and wife later disserted him (due to ill behavior and maltreatment though the missdeed's of his wife and himself) making him to live a monastic life in the mountains of Old Sorrenburg, building and contemplating how he has lived his life so far and what he can do to improve.

Golden later changed the town's name to Barlinium, as he felt inspired by the land's many farms. He later raised the white flag despite being told by Fury, that he doesn't have to worry about the area being destroyed or raided. The white flag symbolising peace, and purity later changed into the flag of Barlinum today.

The flag brags the colours:


 * Green for the emrald,
 * Orange for the bountiful crops on the land,
 * Black for the times of pain and abandonment,
 * And White representing peace and purity to all of Barlinium's neighbours.2022-01-02 16.37.55.png

In recent times however, Golden became rather opinionative and angry over the fact he didn't feel honoured by the people around him. But he later realised, in comparison to his past, that he should rather think less of himself and more of others. And that he should understand that everyone, although it doesn't seem like it, is trying thier best one way or another. Golden, now with a renewed heart of Gold, has decided to be still and content with the position that he has in the nation of Borhammar with the little friends that he has around him.

Golden has also made peace with Ludju, his ex-mayor (and present govenor of Sake Den). As the Archbishop of Barlinium he has commited himself to befriend his enemies, even though they still hate him.

Golden is known to be a quiet, shy, charming, caring and loveable priest, but can sometimes be agressive when he feels treathened or insulted. But in general, he is a priest who has a heart of gold. Golden has written the Luxite hymnal, containing the many prayers he has offered to Lux, also those he wishes to still offer her to this day. It was because of this that he has been awarded the title of Priest.

He has also adopted a son, Micheal, into the ever expanding family of the Salvay. Although Golden was later disowned by his father, William. Leaving him into the hands of a 65 year old woman, known as Bahng O'Cath who was later killed during the Siege of Viodoxa City.

Leaving him to build up his family with the remnants he has left, his son Michael and his newly adopted son and monk, Mako.

Since that point in time he had encountered his father, Astaroth O'Cath, who later gave him a rebirth and adopted him as the half-demon priest that he is today.

Times in Eldham
On the 2nd of November 2021, Golden became bored about the politics and drama of Rathnir. This led him to join the nation of Yunria as a lowly citzen, and consequently he joined and lived in the port town of Volnygrad where he spent most of his time mining, fishing and brewing. On the 26th of December 2021, he joined the Wolfingrad town of Comercia. Where he wanted to get closer to his son, Michael. This made him to be a dual citizen in two nations of Eldham, often moving commuting between those two areas whenever time calls for it.

On the 13th of January 2022, He was later crowned with the title of the Mayor of Volnygrad, this effectively made him mayor of two different towns, in twos different nations and worlds.

Life of Golden in the present day
Although on the 24th of April 2022, He passed the mantle of Barlinium's ownership, to a girl named Lumy Jones, the daughter of Davidovich34. He entrusted her with the land and told her which buildings he would like her to renovate, which includes the Greater Church of Barlinium. He has then retired to his family house in Borhammar, with his newly wedded husband IgorStarr.

He still rules over the land of Volnygrad, and he later renamed it Holy Volnygrad, to match his priestly athority in the land of Eldham.

In recent times the family of the O'Cath has grown exponentialy, with the marriage between Golden and the queen of Varn Torum, Goetia. Golden also married Cassie, a princess of the nation of Tortuga.

He has adopted five new children including Annon Rune O'Cath, Blane Charun Thorveyn, Velipix Beleth Devlin O'Cath, and Maple O'Cath.
