Being born into royalty, Jachsechep grew up in infinite opulence while however trying to live up to societies high expectations. The young girl eagerly accepted the challenge however, manipulating her way ruthlessly all the way to the top till her marriage with Achet-Aton by the age of 14. Now being the wife of the Atuum's Pharaoh, she is being worshipped being a half-god as is her husband. A status Jachsechep will defend by any means possible.

While mediating, Jachsechep began noticing not only her powers of mind manipulation at a young age, but also something completely different slumbering within the deepest parts of her soul. With the power and knowledge of the entire plane finally at her disposal after her marriage, a few years later Jachsechep manages to awaken her spark forcefully. However while she understands the basic nature of her power (and what it implies), she has yet to ever walk to another plane.

Nethertheless Jachsechep is the only person on Atuum understanding the mystery behind Setheret's vanishing more than a century ago. Yet while she knows the old minister to obviously be dead after all these years, she somehow can't shake of the feeling he might appear again some day in the future threatening her peace. To prevent the status quo, Jachsechep understands she might need more knowledge of the other worlds surrounding her own empire.

Setheret was a born noble, working as Atuum's high minister since he was mere 17 years old. For decades he served four different pharaohs, until he was suddenly accused of blasphemy and sentenced to death at the age of 53. As by the pharaoh's decret all records have been purged, no living person today still remembers the reason - however what happened afterwards went down in Atuum's history nethertheless. Setheret was supposed to be executed in public, yet after spitting into the pharaoh's face and cursing the empire, he suddenly vanished without a trace.

His rage and imminent death had caused his spark to awaken and made him planeswalk to another plane. For a few years Setheret jumped from plane to plane, never really making an appearance in any of them – until he reached Penada.

In the year 314 S.T. (year 314 after foundation of the Santuaren Empire) Setheret appeared in Luhur, openly claiming to be from another world. After the tragic death of one of its members, he was appointed a seat in the Order of Belur's Counsil just one year later. He still is an apparently simple member eighteen years later when after a dramatic deterioration in relations war breaks loose between the Santuaren Empire and the Order of Belur. It takes all the way to the final day of the battle for Luhur in 336 S.T. for Setheret to finally act personally, though. At the morning of the sixth day, without approval of the Counsil, he channels the energy of nearly fifty followers through a ritual – with a single strike nearly whiping out both armies completely and permanently detaching Luhur from the mainland.

While the remaining members of the Order of Belur completely in shock concede unconditional defeat to the Santuaren Empire, just a single day later Setheret raises an army of undead, demons and horrors using all the power and resources collected in the last twenty years - attacking both weakened parties simultaneously. Only thanks to the help of the Circle of Nilandon, which so far had stayed completely neutral during the war, Penada's three powers in the end manage to overwhelm the sinister army and capture Setheret.

After several weeks of discussion, the three powers finally decide Setheret's destiny. The best blacksmiths of the Santuaren Empire forge unbreakable chains, to bind Setheret's body. The mightiest mages of the Order of Belur fill the chain links with powerful seals, to supress his magic. It's the shamans of the Circle of Nilandon however, who create a curse that has never been before and shall never again be expressed. Setheret's body is trapped inside a coffin, which seals away and traps inside the culprits soul and therefore prevents his reincarnation for all eternity. The coffin is then finally burried deep in the Maram Woods, far away from civilisation.

In the year 425 S.T. however, a jung thief named Vargis escapes from his imminent execution out of Hadia and flees deep into these exact woods. In a cave deep underground he accidently stumbles across an unknown coffin and in hopes of finding a burried treasure finally manages to open it up after working on it for several months..

Always a big fan of puzzles, riddles and games, for a very long time the sneaky faerie enjoyed herself not caring about the consequences of her little escapades. One day however, she went a step too far by challenging the Queen herself to a little game. Neither the content nor the result of that game are generally known, as both participants never told anyone about it.

Whatever might have happend, as a result of that game Ssthyn suddenly fled from the court, resulting in her sparking during the escape. Since that day, Ssthyn has turned the whole multiverse into her playground. Jumping from plane to plane she's looking for various kinds of entertainment, leaving as soon as she gets bored of her current location.
