Lando Glisson - April 17, 1881
Lando Glisson is one of the rare humans who, despite being born in the old world, managed to become a leader in Nivorum.
Although 180 years have passed since his birth, his biological age is only 49—time flows more slowly in Nivorum.
Born into a devout family, Lando's greatest fear was thunder. On stormy nights, his parents would tell little Lando that God was angry because of his mischief, and that thunder was the sound of divine wrath.
He grew up receiving a church education. He always stood for justice and equality. He shaped his career as a private detective and, despite his young age, became one of the most beloved figures in town.
At 24, he met Emilia Hield. A year later, they were married. Lando and Emilia Glisson were a perfect couple—two souls seemingly made for each other.
For four years, they shared a beautiful marriage. Until the year 1910, when Halley's Comet passed closest to Earth.
The intense training and isolated life in Nivorum gradually pulled them in different directions. Vulton Valtorin, the Supreme Leader of Nivorum, fell in love with Emilia. She chose to continue her life with him instead.
Lando buried his love deep within and focused on rising through the ranks. To avoid being cast out of the city, to remain close to Emilia, and to survive Nivorum’s ruthless system, he became a loyal servant of the regime—at least on the surface.
Yet his strong sense of justice would not allow him to turn a blind eye to those who were exiled. In secret, he established connections with the enemy city’s Luxsophis Academy. He built an underground community for the exiled. Using the gas reserves from Nivorum’s mines, he engineered tanks capable of delivering high doses of stardust exposure in short bursts.
In doing so, he laid the foundation for a flawless army—one that, when the time came, would destroy Nivorum from within.
