Appearance
Cephas Aranaco had dark brown hair for the majority of his life, with blue eyes. He was medium height, and fairly slim.

Childhood, Adolescense & Early Adulthood
Cephas was born on the 23rd February 2010. He was educated at home until he was 11, when he was sent to the Official Boarding School of Greater Mechro. During his time there, he met and became good friends with Crochon Brechadanysta. During his time there, his mother, who he was very close with, died of a severe illness on the 12th May 2025. His father deliberately left his manor whenever he was told Cephas was visiting, and eventually abandoned it to Mosia. When Cephas and Crochon tracked him down, a drunk Rubeus chased Crochon down the street, getting him sent to prison for life. After graduating, he and Crochon atttended the Mosia branch of the Official Mosian Military School. He was sent to the Cepran Forest, Bradhim, the Swatiski Delta, and Illiricium. He almost drowned during his time in the Swatiski Delta.

Mosian Civil War
Cephas joined the East Cepran Liberalist Party, eventually becoming Governor of that province. When the Mosian Civil War started, he had to fight. The first battle of the war took place outside his old home at Brechan's Field. He was captured by Bradhin forces and was a prisoner of war for 4 months, until he was freed. After the war, he joined the National Mosian Party.

Great Enadian War
After learning of MossW's defeat and Crochon's surrender, the belief formed that Mosians were the purest Enadians, and Illiricans were the least pure Enadians. He began the National Freedom Party, eventually managing to become the Prime Minister of MossW. He quickly abolished the kingdom, making himself dictator and declaring war on Illiricium. Crochon was sent by the Illirican government to assasinate Cephas, but couldn't bring himself to do it and shot the wrong person. He was sentenced to death, but Cephas felt guilty and swapped him with a criminal, taking him to the island of Crochon's Refuge. With help from Vustana, he won. He established the Imperium Regis of MossW, marrying Brecha Brechadanysta to secure his rule. Brecha helped him understand how ridiculous his beliefs were, repenting. However, the Illirican people thought otherwise. The Black Sun Cult couped the Illirican government. The final phase of the Great Enadian War begun, the Pact of Trondheim, versus the Varcedonian Entente. When Ancapstands invaded, he ordered the army to invade Illiricium while their troops were in space. The Black Sun rule collapsed, being replaced with the former leader of Illiricium's daughter.

Mosian Unrest
Almost immediately after their defeat, the Black Sun Cult escaped and couped MossW. Cephas' plane was shot down and he ended up on Crochon's Refuge, being re-united. This was the last time they saw each other. Ironically, the Black Sun Cult gave back MossW important cultural objects and places. They forced Grand Northern Empire to give them Cephas Brechadanysta's paintings, intending to burn them, and captured the Northurian emperor, the ransom being the Swatiski Delta, attempting to win the support of the people. A few years later, a Black Sun terrorist blew up his car, killing his wife and sending him into a coma. He got into a crisis after finding out Illiricium was passing information to the Black Sun Cult, beginning the First Illirician Tension.

War
In the 2050s, the Terina virus ravaged the nation, taking away his daughter Nekhra from him, which affected the whole family.
