Het Linc

Het Linc was a posthuman polymath, part of one of the last known posthuman cultures.

He was born in 334961115132 and died in 334961147104, living for over 30,000 years. During his life he was a philosopher, artisan, athlete, critic, navigator, biochemist, sculptor, legislator, chef, encyclopaedist, poet, soldier, antiquarian, counsellor, architect, musician, steersman, mystic, bookbinder, apothecary, curator, negotiator, footman, prophet, actor, farmer, detective, necromancer, chiropodist, smuggler, theologian, prostitute, translator, shepherd, mechanic, god-king, tailor, cinematographer and midwife.

His culture was destroyed by House Mirraflex. After his death, he was resurrected in the City of the Saved. His long life and experiences made him seem the ideal ambassador to the Great Houses. However, his long life, longer than most any of the House members, as well as these same experiences caused many of the older members among the Houses to feel threatened by him. He was so charismatic that several younger House members wanted to defect to the City, even accepting some of defections - a move that proved problematic, as the City Council has never granted citizenship to nonhumans. There was even talk of granting the City the status as an honorary House, though this met with notable resistance. Due to these controversies he was eventually recalled, the position of ambassador left empty. He became a successful jeweller after that.
