Grandson of Arual, son of Lanigiros, before his coronation he served as a bodyguard, first to one and then to the other.
He was an outstanding warrior and commander of his time, skillfully using any weapon that fell into his hands, and founded his own school of fencing, which he later taught to his troops.
Contemporaries describe him as a cold but just man — he rewarded merit generously and punished transgressions with severity. He had a great number of enemies, envious rivals, and admirers, but no close friends — only loyal subjects. It is believed that he loved no one but himself and his daughter Hateia.
During the days of the civil war, his mere presence on the battlefield instilled fear in the rebellious relatives and their soldiers. During the invasion of the neighboring kingdom of Wallen, through his intellect, strength, and charisma, he routed the superior enemy forces, but was treacherously killed during peace negotiations by a seemingly defenseless Wallen diplomat. Historians disagree on the details of this incident. Some describe it as an event that took place before the eyes of soldiers from both sides: during the signing of the treaty, an assassin stabbed the king in the side with a knife. Others claim that the murder took place in the intimate setting of the royal tent.
