Regulus Mindegaus

Regulus Mindegaus (known in-game as 5567) is a Lunarian librarian, writer, former bandit, and paleoanthropologist. He was the founder of the Atopolis Library and the head of the paleoanthropology department in the Rathnir Paleontological Society.

Born in Southern Syltör, Regulus witnessed the death of his parents from a human-elvish conflict and fled to the wilderness. This event would lead to his intense hatred of elves as he committed acts of banditry to specifically elvish travellers and settlements from Nieden to western Sparwood. On August 22nd, 2021 (933 ACA), he would become a citizen in Atopolis. During his residency, he would become the department head of paleoanthropology in the Rathnir Paleontological Society, discover the fossil of the Homo athielensis, and establish the Atopolis Library. During the geopolitical conflict between the Grand Jarldom of Frostmarch and the Empire of Leveros, Regulus escaped the action, fleeing to the Kingdom of Lunaris as a refugee.

Youth
According to brief mentions in a diary, Feslesiastical Account on Lunaris, Mindegaus was born in Southern Syltör where a social hierarchy had divided human and elvish inhabitants. His birthplace, left unnamed, systematically oppressed humans, maintaining an ethnically elvish majority rule. His father, Metanela Mindegaus, was a renowned scientist and historian who became financially sustainable by selling archaeological tools and research to the Rathnir Paleontology Society, a science-focused group of naturalists founded to study paleontology and archaeology. Metanela was probably present during the discovery of the Homo erectus. Regulus's mother, on the other hand, was a simple housemaid.

The growing success of Metanela Mindegaus obviously brought awareness of the elvish overlords. As described by Regulus, the elves feared that the human population would be educated more than they should. At age 12, Regulus witnessed his parents being arrested and executed. Before Regulus could be captured, he escaped the city and fled to the wilderness.

Bandit-Nomad Life
Records show that on July 11th, 2021 (930 AJC), Regulus attacked a hunter at an abandoned temple with nothing but a few stones. This hunter (with the username of SonOfFurrows) obviously outmatched the boy and injured him severely. This encounter, occurring merely several months after the death of Regulus's parents, probably led him to be more secluded as he escaped from public record. As described by Regulus, he mainly lived in the forests - away from civilization. Oblivious to his own environments, he had settled into the forests of an elf-populated city of western Sparwood near what is known locally as Eglarest. For several months, Regulus hunted his own food, collected his own materials, and fended for himself. This new environment and set of responsibilities contrasted to his sheltered lifestyle during his youth.

At age 14, Regulus built a cabin, using the local dark wood resources from the forest, where he would store materials and food. This cabin would be discovered by Yuki Hayami, a half-elf from Eglarest. She took the food stored in this cabin and left a message of her arrival. This theft was probably done unintentionally as during the time of Yuki's arrival, Regulus was supposedly some place else, hunting and collecting materials.
