Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
Origins[[edit] | [edit source]]
He came from Earth originally, and at the beginning was a mortal human. When he was young, he loved to hear stories of Norse mythology, hearing of Odin and Hugin and Munin. During this life, which he believed to be his first, he was a musician, and, so he liked to believe later on in life, had friends.

Later life[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Archons repressed his memories of living on Earth, and later in life his earliest memory would be that of graduating from Cahlough Academy during the Cosmic War on one of the doppelgänger worlds of the Morning Star. He took on the name Lotto while at Cahlough.
He dedicated his lives to investigating curiosities around the universe, and helping the needy. The majority of them were humanoid, although in his fourth body, he had that of a dog, and his fifth had that of an anthropomorphic lioness. He enjoyed spending time with Sherlock Holmes, prior to the former's turning into fiction, and they would try to see who could solve a case first.
