c. 3, 980 - 3, 850 BC Amzer

c 3300 BC Tutalchamen

The unknown, 4th Century founder and cryptocrat, the all-powerful recondite ruler of the forthcoming, mighty Egyptian Empire.

Around 3,300 B.C a leading Chaldean elder emigrated to the Nile Valley and behind King Menes, became the innominate cardinal influence in the unification of Egypt. The pyramids were erected and the culture flourished; yet this undercover Quabbalist was never to be recorded.

This unparalleled, recondite patriarch lived on for many centuries in arcane power, creating the momentum of supreme Egyptian expansion and intellectual development. He was the guiding force behind the great Pharaohs, until his mortal interment at Thebes, deep in a tomb somewhere in the Valley of the Kings. Tutalchamen was in fact the first, (and not Thutmose I), by over a thousand years to have had a tomb constructed here, around 2100 BC and which is said to have been a wondrous celestial observatory.
This great treasure has, of course, never been discovered.

c. 465 - 542 Artorius Verus

Champion of the Britons, Artorius Verus, (Latin, meaning 'the real Arthur'), was the true identity of this legendary mortal phenomena, the Celtic, tribal warrior-chieftain who, with his awesome power of leadership and his uniquely inspired cavalry raiding tactics, tenaciously fought back the inexorable Saxon invasion of Albion.

Artorius's achievements went down in British folk history to emerge again in the 12th century as the History of the Kings of Britain by Geoffrey of Monmouth, illumined still further in 1470 by Malory in his Le Morte d'Arthur, as the legendary Arthur of Camelot.

c. 1100 -1400 The Dark Fool

The Dark Fool was more commonly recognised as a court jester; the idiot and the entertainer of the mediaeval, royal or baronial halls and castles.

In the Middle Ages, the fool was, paradoxically, the most privileged and most clever of all the members of the Royal court. His entitlement to go anywhere unchallenged and unheeded, and behave however he wished without question, gave him enormous insight, power and influence. Contrary to his half-witted appearance, there was nothing about which the fool did not know or understand.

The Dark Fool is the observer and the conclusion of everything. He is, as the Major Arcana of the Tarot observes, fate itself.

1250 -1580 The Alchemist

Seen here in his laboratory around c. 1350, in the famous picture, 'In Search of the Black Rose'.From the ancient origins of Albion, through the pagan groves of time, evolved the warlords and the mystics and the kings and the clerics, who forged the course of history in the Northlands. From them came the acolytes and the emergence of one of the most powerful forces in Dark Age Britain….The Alchemist.

The Alchemist was the forerunner of all scientists, a philosopher, occultist and some-time cleric. He pioneered the foundations of chemistry and crossed the tenuous bridge from mortality to spirituality, both in search of knowledge and the truth and as Amzer, to deliver his prodigious, theosophic charge.

Using the knowledge and the wisdom filtered down through time from the ancients, The Chaldeans, The Alchemist strives ceaselessly to accomplish the Great Work, the Opus Magnus, to discover the Elixir of Life, the Philosopher's Stone; the perfection of the soul, and to succeed in his prodigious assignment, The Mission.

1560 -1662 Quintus Thorn

The accredited and esoteric Tudor/Stuart, science-based occultist and 'Privy Invisible Metaphysician' to Queen Elizabeth, seen here in his "temple of discovery and enlightenment".
Thorn, a close friend and associate of Robert Boyle and other like-minded 'academical' contemporaries, was at the time, the pioneer and world leader in Experimental Philosophy, and attributed to be the father of the Oxford based League of Esotery, forerunner of the renowned Royal Society.

1685 -1729 The Shadow of the Rose (alias William Spencer)

A notoriously efficient and elusive highwayman; the body of William Spencer lies beneath the crossroads at which he was executed on the gallows on 'Jan'y 5th 1729, aged 31', on the desolate London road to Winchester. His spectre however, continued to terrorize the unworthy for a further 21 years.
