Rakan Thulio

Rakhan Thulio, also known as the Sleepwalker, is a rogue Sidereal, a Chosen of Endings who has set himself against Yu-Shan, seeking to tear it down, and towards that end, he has allied with a hitherto unseen group of Exalted, the Getimians. He Exalted in the Time Before, but after tearing his thread from the Loom of Fate, he has not aged a day since, making him one of, if not the, oldest Exalted currently active.

Biography
The story is told that in the first days, a young Rakhan Thulio lay in his sickbed, victim of the sleeping death. One cold night, as Saturn passed through the constellation of the Sorcerer, he awakened newly Exalted, starlight in his eyes, and was carried off by omen-birds into the service of Endings.

What is known for certain is that he Exalted in the Time Before, and was a hero among the Chosen of that era. However, when the love of his life chose another, he came to blame Heaven, believing another had written his destiny and he had been done a great injustice. His resentment of fate curdled into hatred for the entire Celestial Bureaucracy, and using forbidden martial techniques he tapped into a power even the Demon Princes feared, marking himself as an enemy of Heaven. Saturn made her Sign against him, but he turned it aside with blasphemous power, and then tore his thread from the Loom of Fate, for which he was cast out of Heaven. He has not aged since.

Thulio has been at war with Yu-Shan for centuries, joined by a handful of Sidereals who had their own reasons to turn on Heaven. Together, they have transformed the political landscape of Yu-Shan into a battleground, and the physical city into the arena of a shadow war between those loyal to the Celestial Bureaucracy and those who would see it destroyed. Outcast and dissident gods flock to join his side in exchange for service, promised new roles in the order Thulio and his allies would establish.

Of late, he has acquired another set of allies, the Getimian Exalted, walking paradoxes one and all, for Fate says these people should not exist, and the Sidereals are unable to find them when they try to seek them in the Loom, seeing nothing but the remains of destinies denied and fates nullified. The Getimians' magic is as arcane as that of the Chosen of the Maidens, and Thulio boasts they outstrip the Sidereals in skill and enlightenment.
