SUMMARY:
Josef Mandovi is a tremendously talented physician who has spent the better part of his life learning, and hiding how he learns. His young life was dull and mostly meaningless, getting little attention from his young and scientifically active parents. As a young adult, his peers pushed him to expand his learning as he moved towards success. Josef lived much of his life believing strongly in his actions, his path, his future, and his belief that he could not fail. Once he discovered that his aging had been stopped, it became his dream for many lifetimes to create a society of people without crime, savagery, chaos, or evil. He did a lot of things, to a lot of people, to try and get there. He mostly worked alone, but there were times when he had followings. All the time, he made sacrifices to his vision. Too many sacrifices. Josef knew a person like himself would have no place in the world he hoped to create, but he felt it would never come to be without the brutalist measures he employed.
As it came to be, the sacrifices made in his great vision were all in vain. Great peace and good do not come from monstrous evil. The doctor's ambitions and methods were uncovered and for years he was hunted by several circles. Only powerful friends in a large crime family stopped his demise.
Josef out lived most of his enemies, as the world was plagued by war and threatened by supernatural forces. When things stabilized, Josef was left with an empty home. Mostly everyone he knew was dead, and his island colony Sundown Isle was barren and derelict. Feeling secluded and depressed, Josef seldom left his island as he receded further and further from the world. Storms frequently tore Sundown Isle apart, and there was no one but him to fix it. Overcome with a sense of failure and decay, Josef surrendered to his fate.
Before the end could snap around him, Josef received a letter from an old friend, Nwalme, telling him to come with the members of House Furvur and sail for the New World. Choosing to leave his old dreams behind, Josef sailed onward, hoping to find vision and to let go of his demons at last. Landing in the chilly, maritime east coast of the New World, Josef traveled south to build a new home on the hot and humid southern island of Isla Vallaz. He built a rum plantation, and a new laboratory. Nwalme sparked Josef and a council of others into Cogimency in a secret ritual. The experience was harsh on his ancient mind, and it wasn't long until he fell into a virtually identical routine, complete with his familiar destructive tenancies, which lasted for over a year.
As luck would have it, Josef was met with a number of new opportunities, and people, who would revitalize his life once more. His magical powers grew, and with it, his grip on life. As the Empire he had helped Nwalme build flourished, and children were born, Josef set his sights on a different kind of prize. and a dark conspiracy was set in motion.
His past sorted, and his future planned, Josef makes the final sprint to the water's edge as the sun slowly sinks below the horizon...
