Braxus Ni’leya (11th of Malin’s Welcome 1192 - 18th of Amber Cold 1973), also known as “The Statesman”, “elMarullral’ito’tennallar" (The Leviathan/Octopus), or “The Martyr”, is a Mali’aheral who rose to prominence in Haelun'or, both as a Soldier and a Political figure, serving as Commander of Len’niut during the Bronze Rebellion led by Phaedrus Lle'hileia, as Medi’ir and Sohaer succeeding Kolvar Uradir after the disastrous Haeseni-Haelun'orian war, and as Maheral post Aheralic War.

Aegis & Asulon

Braxus was born to two Mali’aheral, Kayda and Sarndir Ni’leya, and resided on the Northern borders of Malinor’s Forests. He lived in a Haelunorian commune of like-minded Elves until he reached the age of ~70 at which point he set out to Laurelin, wherein he would join the Malinorian Sentinels, then led by Prince Flefal. It is rumoured that Braxus was the first Sentinel to complete the notorious Gauntlet, on his first attempt no less. He rose swiftly through the ranks of the Malinorian Sentinels under Commander Serva Rose before one day resigning. He had encountered a Mali’aheral named Seth Calith, who kept true to the ways of Larihei Lomahnih. He informed Braxus of a new city of Mali’aheral, who practiced the lifestyle of maehr’sae hiylun’ehya - the ancient governing philosophy of the Mali’thill, and so he set out from Malinor with Seth Calith, who became his teacher and friend.

Anthos

Not much is known about this period of Braxus’ life other than he survived the destruction of Asulon and joined his kin in Malinor, though not for long as he would set out and join the others in Lin’evaral and subsequently, The Tomb.

The Fringe

A Mali’aheral by the name of Kalenz Uradir came to prominence in Tahn’siol, in the early days of the Fringe. He would bring the Mali’ame, Mali’ker and impure Mali’aheral known as Mali’fenn under Haelun’ors fold, establishing districts beneath the Plateau of Tahn’siol. Braxus Ni’ley was inspired by the fervor and enthusiasm of Kalenz and immediately became a supporter and follower. Where Seth had taught Braxus the values and ideals of maehr’sa hiylun’ehya, Kalenz lit a flame of fervor within the heart of him. However, Braxus had begun courting an Elf by the name of Irelia Fenn’asul, she was a diplomat in the Fennic district, known as Okarn’fenn. A loving relationship blossomed and the first of his children came to be, Irelia Ni’leya - named after her Mother.

As Braxus became more zealous, riled by the words of Kalenz Uradir, his feelings towards Irelia changed. He no longer viewed her as his equal, but as an ‘ata - an impure Elf who had strayed from the path of purity. Irelia refused to change her ways and out of devotion for both his Sohaer Kalenz and maehr’sae hiylun’ehya, murdered her in secret just as Celi’ante was constructed.

Athera

Braxus was enlisted within the Sillumir when Phaedrus Lle'hileia overthrew the High Elven government and began a genocide against the Mali'aheral. Though some resistance was offered, it was ultimately not enough and Braxus and his kin fled the City to Aldersburg, where they went into hiding. It was there that he met Asul'athri, who would reform and revitalize the Sillumiran. The two became great friends and comrades and decided that an urgent excursion into Annil'sul was necessary - to search for those who had lost their way during the fall and to reclaim their home. Braxus adopted the pseudonym of 'Cassium' and together, Braxus and Asul'athri rescued dozens of Mali'aheral, leading them to safety. A year prior to the return of Annil'sul to the Mali'aheral in 1848, Braxus had been named Commander of Len'niut.

As life returned to normality, Braxus began courting a Mali'aheral by the name of Larissa, together they would go on to have a Son named Kalenz, in honor of one of Braxus' most influential teachers and friends, Kalenz Uradir.
