He goes by many names, many guises. In the world of exalts, he has been known since the coming of the first age. An adviser to generals... A tactician for kings... A comrade in arms... The most hated of enemies...
Have our intrepid heroes met him? Yes. Do they know it? No.
He was made keeper of the Sidereal manse of Sal'maneth. Yet, the risen Lunar and Solar know not where or when he is. And he prefers it that way.

The Seemingly Abyssal non-Abyssal
For those that meet him, they think him an abyssal. His magic, abilities, speech if heard, EVERYTHING about him is abyssal. Just the way the secretive work of the Sidereal wanted. But now, they don't want him anymore. Neither faction seeks him or claims him. He has few friends if any at all. No one understands him, or wants to. And all he wants is to understand what it means to be human...
If he had a single friend, it would be Shepherd of the North Star.

Chejop KejakThe most powerful exalt alive...

Age: Almost 5,000 years old (the end of his lifespan is close)
Maiden of Endings
Goals: to maintain control of heaven over the world itself

Pre-Exaltation
As a boy, Chejop Kejak met the Maiden of Endings herself. His biography states the Maiden told him he would bring the end of an age: here it errs, she said he would bring the end of "two ages".
Exaltation
Chejop Exalted the same moment as Tammiz Ushun, but someone by the name of Ain Learning Pike concealed the fact for reasons unknown. The only two aware of this fact, and that the two were reborn the same date, are Chejop and Tammiz (reborn as Ayesha Ura).
Since his Exaltation
He was present for the Prophecy that led to the Usurpation, and firmly believes that it was the right course of action to take. As the Shogunate began to dissolve and the Great Contagion struck, Chejop Kejak allied with the soldier who became the Scarlet Empress, allowing him to help define more closely the course of Creation. Kejak is responsible for creating the Immaculate Order's and its status as the state religion of the Realm. It should be noted that Chejop Kejak has nearly reached the end of his exalted lifespan, so it's likely that he'll be ushering in the second ending to an age very soon.
He resides primarily in Yu-Shan reading the Loom of Fate and planning the course of all Creation. His dedication and status are legendary: there are rumors he knows the locations of lost Gates to Yu-Shan and that he is behind the Convention on Oversight.
