When Jorell was defeated by the Ni'novian Empire, his body was not left behind. Instead, it was taken back to the secure vaults on Nulvar by Trivas himself and put into stasis. There, the body lay for over seven years until Trivas dared unleash a new project. At the time, the Ni'novian Empire was losing the Galaxial War and Trivas desired to enlist a powerful man capable of leading a government to help turn the tide. Knowing the project would be frowned upon, he conducted it in secret and spent many days at various times working on it.
