The Minister of Elegance was born to the High Prophetess of Obligation, sometime in 2524. He had two other brothers, and was the largest of the three. During his time growing up, Elegance began to show a dievous cunning, and when the current Minister of Elegance (the former Prophetess of Obligation, his mother) was assassinated by an unknown party in 2550, he promptly rose to power, creating rumors of foul play.
