Early Life
Benedict Karl Godd was born on the 7th of July to Robert Kingston Godd and Medina Mari Karl-Godd in Druk Yulian Goldenvale. As a child, Benedict was known for being a child that likes cosplay as royalty. He would always wear a paper crown that was painted gold. As a child, he would always be seen playing with a wooden horse and playing king with other Goldenvalians. He was called many names by his friends. King was what his fellow children usually called him because of the crown.



During his early teenage years, he was taught carpentry and basic architecture by his father who owned Godd Constructions, a construction company. As part of his training, he travelled across Eldham and learnt many new techniques. He learnt color theory from Urak and learnt pillar making in The Confederation of Garxijos. When he was eighteen, Robert Godd suddenly left his family and was reported to have gone to Rathnir. This caused Medina to become extremely ill because of extreme stress and sorrow. She would later die one year later after a heart attack. Although distraught, Benedict showed resiliency as he managed to survive despite having no adult supervision and support. He paid off the bills that had gone unpaid while he took care of his mother.

Early Career
Because of his mother's death, he became the CEO of Godd Constructions at the age of 19. He and his team operated in Northern Eldham for almost 6 years, serving as terraformers and builders for Northern Eldhamites. One example of their work would be found in the city of Garxeto.

He would later relegate his CEO duties to Nicholas as he started focusing more on writing and mass producing books. He managed to grab a hold the original copy of "The War", an erotic novel written by OldManPablo, and mass produced and sold it to the masses. Because of this, he was able to get a significant amount of money. This enabled him to write his first book "Broken Identity", an erotic novel like "The War". He would later follow up with "The EPA", a anthology of poems from Eldham, as well as "Song of Legends", a poem written about legends of the past.

Raiding Fort Earnhardt
Before The Horse War begun, Godd took part in raiding Fort Earnhardt as part of the Goldenvale Militia force who was called in by Druk Yul. During one of those raids, he was almost killed by a Farencian. He and the Farencian fought in close melee battle with sword and shield clashing. At the time, Godd had no combat training so it was a miracle that he was able to fend for himself. Godd eventually was able to bash the Farencian's head in with his shield and that surprised the Farencian, enabling Godd to stab him with his sword. After the raids, Benedict returned a changed man. Since that day, he practiced combat. He trained with Carl, Goldenvale's resident mercenary.

Sacking of Goldenvale
After the several raids initiated by Druk Yulian forces, Druk Yul officially declared war on Grand Farencia on July 26. As the days since the declaration of war passed by and many nations pledged their support for Grand Farencia, many Goldenvalians fear that war will destroy their fledgling town and that also includes Godd. Godd personally talked with the town's mayor, Wolf824, and expressed support for declaring independence. Soon after, Wolf824 declared Goldenvale's independence with the support of Goldenvale's citizens. This attracted the attention of The Pirate State of Barbossa. Phillykiller777, Goldenvale's exiled mayor as well as a leading pirate in Barbossa, announced that he would lead a band of pirates to sack Goldenvale. This alarmed the citizens of the newly independent town. A mass panic occurred with many evacuating from the town to hide from the pirates. Soon after, only a handful of citizens stayed behind to defend the town. Determined to stop the pirates, Godd tried to prepare as much as he could. The pirates swarmed through the sewers. Godd tried to stop them along with another citizen but were both cut down. Godd was stabbed in the stomach and was thrown to the ground. As the stream of pirates stopped, Godd used his sword to walk through the sewers. Despite his injuries, he managed to fight the pirates, even facing against nine of them at once, but was eventually knocked out. Upon waking up, he discovers that several of his fellow Goldenvalians had fallen during the raid. This made Godd fall into a deep depression. He eventually left Goldenvale and exiled himself to Urak.

Head Mafia
In Urak, Godd met a man called Benigno Bathala. Bathala, the Don of the Head Mafia. invited Godd to work for him and the Head Mafia. The Head Mafia is an international crime organization that is known for taking the heads of their victims as trophies. Godd reluctantly accepted the offer. He worked as the all-round runner for the Mafia. He did the odd jobs that most people wouldn't do. He cleaned up the decapitated bodies of the Head Mafia's victims, laundered money stolen from victims, and scouted out towns for the Mafia to raid. By doing this, he slowly gained the trust and confidence of the Don and the Capos. He would later be given his first hit on August 27. Derpyli123 had been instigating the Mafia for weeks trying to get them to attack Aerilion. Godd was tasked of taking him out as discretely as he could. Upon arriving at Aerilion, he met up with another Mafia member and begun the attack. The fight lasted a couple minutes with both Godd and Derpyli123 being injured in the fight. Before the fight could go any longer, Shirokanezans came and forced Godd and his compatriot to leave Aerilion. Despite failing to get Derpyli123's head, it seemed that his performance impressed the Don. Because of his performance, he was given more hits to do. This helped him developed infamy amongst the Eldhamites as part of the Head Mafia. While working as a raider for the mafia, Godd had several troubles with the infamous anti-banditing group, Shirokaneza. Shirokanezans frequently visited to attempt to murder Godd Kageyama which was serving as the Head Mafia's base of operations and Godd's home. In some instances, Shirokanezans would show up to avenge Godd's victims and would lead to hour-long brawls. In one of the raids that Godd led on the town of Ruma, one Shiro by the name of auqust appeared and was able to force Godd and his son DestXM to retreat after failing a hit on one of the citizens.

Decapitatores
After a few years of being an infamous member of the mafia, he finally got his big break after The Don gave him the position of Capo. He was put in charge of supervising the hits that come in. He would work as the main man to come to when it came to head hunting, setting a record of seven confirmed kills in a span of a week. He would be in charge as the Capo of Head Hunting for the next few months. Eight months after being given the role of Capo, Benigno Bathala suddenly died. While the rest of the capos were in disarray, Godd stepped up as a temporary Don. He reorganized the mafia, centralizing the mafia into four main sectors: Brewing, Head Hunting, Bandit Hunting and Finance. This restructuring made the newer members happy and the older members leave. Soon after, Aurum Solis officially joined Barbossa. In an effort to keep up, the Head Mafia reformed under a new name: the Decapitatores Pirate Mafia. The new mafia included new rules which included the targeting of coastal areas for raids and avoidance of land as the primary way of transport.

Cubism

During this time, Benedict helped in operations in stealing fragments of the [] from the Custodians in the Nova Azcorian Republic. After sometime, the Order and the Custodians reconciled and commenced the ritual on the 66th day together. In this day, Benedict officially became the High Priest of Elamus.

During this time, Benedict used his skills from being part of the mafia to forcefully convert people to Cubism. While the exact number of conversions are unknown, Benedict has said that he had slain several people and had gathered almost $250,000 worth of loot from people who did not convert.

During this war, Benedict followed Uraki leader Neo Aurelian in a suicidal charge to secure the bridge from a Shirokanezan push. While Benedict got injured and forced to retreat from the main fight, he continued supporting the battle when it reached the inner coves of Barbossa. He used a crossbow he found from a dead body and used it to shoot at Shirokanezans who were dueling with Barbossan pirates and their allies.

While making his withdrawal, he was able to loot several dead bodies and make off of the war with a profit.
