Origins
Numis was born in Valentum, Viodoxa, to his parents Alyanis Sigrun and Erik Sigrun. Alyanis, mother of Ibris and Numis died whilst giving birth to Numis, leaving them alone with their father, who was panicked and angered at the time, that the love of his life for which he have spent so much time with had died. In despair, he departed to Auszan along with Ibris, leaving baby Numis behind in the streets of Valentum. Valen McSpiegel saw Numis and adopted him and gave him a home in Valentum.

He studied at a local school at Valentum and had a partime job as a farmer. His talent of Architecture was quickly noticed by his teachers and was persuade to take an apprenticeship with the local Architect, soon he graduated from school and started learning with the Architect. This kick started his career even though he was 15 at the time.

The Auroran War
Numis started his career as a soldier and an Architect for hire in Valentum, he hadnt seen any combat prior to the Auroran War, only partaking in the military expedition to Shaloma before hand. He joined the second raid of Fornost during the Auroran War which he seen his first combats. After the raid he and alongside 2 Viodoxans were dispatched to construct a forward operation base for Viodoxa to keep an eye on Fornost until an agreement was made between the two parties. It was during this war the Valen commissioned Numis as the Captain of the Adytum Regiment due to his leadership and ability to keep a cool head in battle.

Founding Numorum
Numis had nothing to do as there was no need for military expidition at the time, as the diplomatic situation surrounding Viodoxa started to die down. So he started to travel around Cymru, upon one of his travels he found the Island of Ataris. It was abandoned when he arrived and he decided to build a new town there. The island grew its population steadily and eventually a large public market pop up as trade from outside and within the country flourished. This is where Numis began to show his talent in leading and governing, and started to get into politics.

The Hapatmitas Crisis
After the Second Viper War, crisis occurred over the former capital of the Empire of Uldarash. Numis was ordered to man the defense of Hapatmitas in Valen's place. Numis along with Minty prepared the defense of the city in expectation that war would break out soon. Tension was high as they prepared for the possible conflict, only to be recalled back to Valentum as the crisis settled down. Because of his efforts in the crisis and his trustworthiness he was promoted to Second in Command of the Viodoxan Army by Valen.

Head Architect
Numis' skill in Architecture was finally noticed by Archon Spike, whom was impressed by his Architecture skills and the Builder's Guild he have created, and thus appointed him to be the new Head Architect of Viodoxa. Numis enjoyed his new position as Head Architect and helped construct new roads around Viodoxa.

Ferrymen War
Numis was one of the first respondants to the Ferrymen situation as it was first stirring up, he went to Instanboulder finding out the Ferrymens have already setted up base there and decided to start destroying the surrounding area, which was sacred in his eyes as it has history as old as the country itself. The Anti Bandit League was notified of the ferrymen's location and decide to raid it, Numis was the few Viodoxan who went and partook in all 3 raids which was unsuccessful. This caused great pain to Numis, even more so after he heard of the unsuccessful final battle and the defeat of the Anti Bandit League. So he decided to go traveling once again.

Founding Valron
Valron was at first a rest stop for travelers travelling around the country, it is situated next to an abandoned temple. Numis arrived at the local area soon after the ferrymen war and started construction of Valron. The city boomed in population soon after construction, much more so than Numorum previously and once became the most active and populated city of Viodoxa at one time. Governing Valron was Numis at his finest, creating one of the most successful and influencial city of Viodoxa was a dream of his own. But this caught eyes of other Lords as they are jealous of Valron's success and would be one of the factors leading to Numis' impeachment.

The Purple Insurrection
Numis had difficulty picking sides during the Purple Insurrection. On one hand he pledge his loyalty towards his country, but on the other hand Loic is his long time friend and he understands their anger. In the end he stayed with Valen but shown smpathy towards the rebels. The situation wasnt ideal for the Viodoxans as they were outnumbered and there wasnt much of an standing army with Numis, Edd and Yazov being the only capable fighters that can stand up towards the threat. In the end it was all unnecessary as the country was dissolved by Valen into smaller Kingdoms.

Reign as King of Valron
Numis' reign as King of Valron was short lived. As soon as the news of the dissolvement of Viodoxa reached Numis, he immediately made plans to reunite the whole Archonate. Using his good connections with other newly crowned Kings, as they were friends since before the dissolvement of the Archonate, he gathered support for the reunification of the country. But the idea of reunification wasnt delighted to everyone within Valron, some wanted an independent Valron for a while now and most wanted to stay independent as the Kingdom of Valron. Numis persuaded them by promising them greater freedom than the previous reign and so the people give in and the Kingdom of Valron unified with other Kingdoms of Cymru to reunifiy Viodoxa.

Sixth Archon
Numis became the Sixth Archon along side Archon Yazov after successfully reuniting Viodoxa. He seek to became an Archon comparable to his father Valen McSpiegel, and enacted mutiple reforms mainly on the Synkletos and the working of the government. It is during this period which peace is finally achieved after a long time and Viodoxa is at it's greatest extent.

But everything isnt as smooth sailing as it seemed to be, during his reign Archon Yazov have not try to communicate or consult with Numis even once about anything, he was worried Yazov might be up to something behind his back, but this isnt even the greatest threat to his reign yet.

Impeachment
One day Numis was woken up to be informed that an impeachment against him have started, infuriated he asked who started it only to be informed it was by his Grand Daughter Hazel. The Impeachment process was a complete Show Trial, he was accussed of not commiting to his work as Archon and stealing population from other cities to which he have not done. Numis tried his hardest to plea his case by providing sensible evidence but it was ignored altogethered. Numis was depressed over this and as it passed the votes in the Synkletos, he was prepared to accept his fate. During the vote over in the House of Lords, Loic understanding the situation of such absurd trial started a movement to block the impeachment to go through. He succeeded but in the inside Numis had already given up on everything, seeing how his closest friends and Ministers betrayed him in a heart beat.

Death
Numis retired to his home in Valron, Viodoxa to continue ruling the country. One day he received a letter from Valen, curious as to how his long deceased father sent a letter to him, he opened it. It was instead Hazel who wrote the letter, in it she claims to be Valen McSpiegel, being awakened and inheriting his soul and memories, she also wrote a war is brewing between Viodoxa and Bardonia, so for the betterment of the country he should abdicate the throne or else he will be an obsticle to the plan, Numis is in disbelief when he read this but doesnt want to give up his Archonship or at least let Hazel inherit it, but feeling the stress Numis decided instead to commit suicide ending his life.

The Reformist Society
After Numis' death his soul hadn't entirely left Rathnir, this was due to him having unfinished business, mainly the fact of his grudge against Valen more specifically Hazel. So Numis started to visit people's dreams hoping to tell people the truth behind Hazel's mask, it didnt go anywhere till Valerie whom was recently kicked out of the McSpiegel family for unjustified reasons started to listen in. Numis instructed her to create a group as sanctuary for those who are against Hazel's rule and named it the Reformist Society.

Return to Rathnir
Numis woke up from his bed one day. His head is aching, he last remembered himself being at his office in Valron, the rest is fuzzy. He look at his surroundings and everything seems odd. "This isn't my room" he thought, he looked into the mirror next to his bed. Numis was shocked as he realised this isnt his body but it is Mel Evar V. Lelya-Earcala's, his tutee. His soul has unknowingly taken over her body perhaps due to their roots, Numis believed it was a sign for him to take care of the unfinished business, thus he starts his journey traveling back to Viodoxa in search of an answer.

Siege of Viodoxa City
Numis was in the one of the attacking group during the Siege of Viodoxa City. Hoping to finally put an end to Viodoxa, Numis fought ferociously that day, he single handedly held off 3 people during the chaotic battle within the streets of Viodoxa, saving Loic's life, but in the process he suffered heavy injuries to which he brushes it off as a scratch. He continued on fighting dispite his injuries assaulting the archer tower in the horse racing tracks of Viodoxa and helped took the Hexeternal. The Siege ended shortly afterwards with a decisive Archonal Union victory.

Kartek War
As a thank to Kartek Allies of Loic sent volunteers to help fight their war, Numis was one of them. The battle was a more chaotic one than the Siege of Viodoxa, the enemy held a formidable fort and Numis was heavily injured fending himself off from mutiple mercenaries. Numis was carried out by medics to a nearby field hospital to heal his wound. He nearly jump off of his bed of joy when the news of the victory arrived.

Personality
Numis was said to be a family man, he always puts the safety of his family before anything else. He a kind and polite man always there to help when it is needed. He was also dedicated to his country, it was recorded that ever since his promotion to Synkletos he worked for so long he never returned home, rather he would rest in his office for a few hours and starts working again. During his reign as Archon, it is said that he never got the time to construct a house for himself to stay in as he just spend most of the time working, it wasnt until one of the citizens of Valron convinced him to take a rest and take over an small abandoned house.
