''[[The Book of the War]]'' recorded that he was a "yes-man": he had little or no will of his own, and even during meetings of the [[ruling Houses]] he never spoke except when urged. To combat this, the ruling Houses nominated [[the War King|the future War King]] to the [[High Council|high assembly]] immediately after Umbaste's inauguration, and, unimpeded by any Presidential effort, the War King set about implementing his forty years of planned protocols in preparation for the upcoming [[War in Heaven]]. | ''[[The Book of the War]]'' recorded that he was a "yes-man": he had little or no will of his own, and even during meetings of the [[ruling Houses]] he never spoke except when urged.

Umbaste remained the nominal leader of the Presidency for thirty years before, without any warning, he opened his [[biodata]] directly to the [[caldera]], perhaps in an attempt to gain insights into future events. This launched him into a [[fugue state]] that lasted for an entire year, his mind lost somewhere in the [[Spiral Politic|meta-structure of history]]. Eventually he returned to his body, but he could only repeat the word "One", and after several days, he disintegrated himself.
