Praxius' birthplace is unknown, although it is believed that he is of both German and Japanese blood. Praxius attained publicity as a historian and occult researcher, travelling across Europe to search for archaeological and legendary evidence for Thule, the mythical homeland of the Germanic peoples. He attained a name for himself in Germany and Britain, leading high-profile archaeological expeditions. On the reformation of Nordreich, Praxius joined the Reich and was in short order promoted to the position of Feldmarschall.
