# Aldous Aldous is a stalwart guardian transformed by cosmic forces, embodying both duty and survival against impossible odds. ## Background The Western Desert was home to the prosperous Minoan Kingdom, a civilization built upon the wealth of jade extraction and centered around a sacred labyrinth housing a colossal minotaur statue. The kingdom employed a mercenary force to protect this holy site, though most eventually succumbed to greed and abandoned their posts as the allure of precious gems consumed the realm. Aldous alone remained steadfast, maintaining his sacred vigil over the maze when others fell to corruption. The kingdom's fortune shifted catastrophically when divine judgment descended upon the land. Celestial forces of light and shadow converged upon Minoan territory, obliterating the civilization in their wake. Caught directly in this cataclysmic collision, Aldous faced certain annihilation as both energies surged through him simultaneously. Rather than death, the opposing forces underwent a violent synthesis within his body, fundamentally remaking him. His physiology transformed dramatically: his skin hardened into dark, scale-like plating capable of withstanding tremendous punishment, while his frame developed massive, imposing arms of terrible strength. Upon regaining consciousness, Aldous discovered his kingdom reduced to ruins and the labyrinth sealed by unknown enchantment. The surviving minotaurs entrusted him with continued guardianship of the maze, dispatching others across the Land of Dawn to seek answers about their catastrophe. Word of the sealed labyrinth and its newfound guardian eventually reached the Abyssal Kingdom, where Selena recognized the strange energies at work. She mobilized her demonic forces toward the maze's entrance, setting the stage for a confrontation of tremendous consequence.
