Background

Kit Magnar grew up a lost child adopted by a barbarian tribe. Though she will never know her real parents, it is doubtful she would have melded with them any better than she melded into the tribe that raised her. While she was always kind to and adored by the tribespeople for her amicable innocence and curiousity, she rarely spoke as a child, and preferred to spend most of her time on excursions into the wilderness, in search of some new bit of trivia or sight to see. Though her formal education was sparse, taught only folklore and practical skills by her collective family, she proved to be remarkably brilliant, teaching herself to read and write Rivertongue and Old Realm after only a few vists to civilized locations. Given her prodigal intelligence, wide-eyed curiousity, and propensity for isolation, it came as little surprise to Fury, the tribe's Lunar guardian, when Kit Magnar, after running afoul of creatures from the Wyld during one of her ventures into the forest, was Exalted by the Unconquered Sun under the twilight. Shortly after her Exaltation, she opted to go to Great Forks, a city of great mystical significance. Little known to Kit, the Wyld Hunt had taken notice of the evening Essence-blaze in the forest just a fortnight before, and set into motion a plan that was intended to be a simple trap for three young Solars, but would instead turn into quite an ongoing fiasco.

 ==Background==
-While the story of Aktuelle's childhood is lost to the annals of history, what is known of his tale begins with a lost, troubled young man cavorting the Scavenger Lands in search of the fabled meaning that so many seek.  His drifting landed him squarely in the throes of a Great Forks pleasure cult, where hedonism and indulgence allowed him to ignore the perceived futility of his existence.  One auspicious day, during a particularly strong drug trip, the Unconquered Sun visited Aktuelle.  Suddenly, it became painfully and obviously clear -- the hollowness evident in Aktuelle's own life was not exclusive, Creation itself had slowly become devoid of meaning.  The Celestial Hiererarchy had been torn asunder, the unity between gods lost.  With their power divided, the gods were gradually losing their connection to creation.  Creation would not abide well by the Unconquered Sun's ignorance, forced or chosen, and the time for salvation was running short.

-Aktuelle's revelation had been world-shattering.  The next day, he turned his judging gaze to the pleasure cult with which he'd surrounded himself, and saw the very depravity against which he had been warned.  As he explained his vision to his fellow cultsmen, he found that the spiritual connection he'd established did not end with the drug trip.  Something was different, extra, greater.  Aktuelle was a changed man.  As a Zenith Caste priest of the Unconquered Sun, his first use of gifted power would be converting his former pleasure cult into one of piety towards the greatest of celestial incarnae.

-After some time spent travelling the Scavenger Lands spreading the word of the Returning Sun, Aktuelle had another revelation, this one internal.  Mortals, through no fault of their own, were subject to the wills and actions of the various spirits and minor gods who had been tasked to govern nearly every aspect of their physical existence.  It was these spirits who must be converted if the minds of men were to be enlightened.  Aktuelle took a pilgrimmage to the South, where he spent some time studying spirits and their interactions with both mortals and one another.  Upon his return, he descended upon Great Forks with a vengeance, ready to return the Unconquered faith to the Celestial Bureaucracy.

-Some suspect that during the course of his research into the workings of the heavens, Aktuelle established himself within a circle of Sidereal Exalted, a rumor which has yet to be confirmed or denied.
 ==Personality==
-On paper, Aktuelle's piety can be deceiving -- He's rather something of an eccentric hotshot in person.  A perfect physical specimen, he radiates a swagger and charm somewhat unexpected of a clergyman.  Though he tends to disavow worldly pleasures and conceals his intense faith beneath the atmosphere of the hedonistic, carefree drifter he once was, Aktuelle is quite the preacher; he spends a good deal of his time convincing spirits, whose personalities are nigh short of being hardcoded into Creation's laws, and as a result, he's had no small amount of practice persuading the stubborn and the blind.  Nevertheless, a meeting with the man would leave one wondering if they'd met a priest or a pirate.  With a perpetual boyish grin and an insistence on fighting with an enormous Grand Daiklave (which he has very little idea how to properly wield), he is a peculiar hybrid of extravagance and piety.
