Teishi Suraibu
> Stub. This file captures only what is needed to support related lore; expand when he becomes the focus of a dedicated session.
Teishi Suraibu was a crazed scientist and slave trader who took over the island nation of [[Lianxiang]] and oppressed its people while he conducted his experiments. He spliced [[Hadien]] and [[Humans|Human]] DNA with various animal DNA, and is the origin of every [[Beastfolk]] lineage that exists on [[Eitoria]] today. He also experimented on his own daughter, [[Lueria]] — one of his worst and most thorough creations.
He was driven out of [[Lianxiang]] when the [[Goldeye]] crew arrived to investigate strange rumors at [[Vaahn|Vaahn's]] request, met [[Jia]], and joined her in liberating her home. [[Lueria]] was rescued in the same operation and was later adopted by [[Vaahn]].
The experiments [[Teishi Suraibu|Teishi]] left behind did not die with his displacement. Years later, the world government [[Karu Aeon|Karu]] was quietly building was raising an army of modified soldiers explicitly based on his work. His methodology — the splicing, the disregard for the subjects' consent or survival, the treatment of his own child as raw material — became one of the foundational templates for state-scale weaponization of biology on Eitoria. [[Idris Hadi]] would eventually walk the same template again, with [[Aries Villanite|Aries]] in the role [[Lueria]] had played, without ever knowing he was repeating it.
After his death, his consciousness was eventually devoured and folded into the apex predator-stratum of the [[Maleidic Realm]] alongside [[Karu Aeon|Karu]] and [[Hadieha]]. It is his voice, among others, that [[Idris Hadi]] hears when the [[Maleida]] tell him he is the chosen one — the voice of the man who proved, generations earlier, that a scientist could turn his own daughter into a weapon and feel justified about it.
Idris Hadi's Rise to Power and the 20th War Games Crisis ►
Idris Hadi, a disgraced genius scientist, built his influence through a series of calculated crimes and political manipulations within the Santerran Federation. After being scapegoated for a stolen discovery originally taken from the Waerrani, Idris murdered scientist Octavia to claim her research on converting Malei into energy, using it to found Hadi Enterprises and the Hadi Enterprises Maleidic Power Plant. He embedded himself in the Santerran government and became a founding member of the Public Data Trust, a state-controlled information body used to spread disinformation, including false narratives about Waerrani aggression. Idris coerced the Waerrani into political allegiance by threatening to expose their non-native planetary origins, leading to the establishment of the Annual War Games. His Federation-backed genetic experimentation program, funded through sanctioned trafficking, produced modified War Games participants. Idris fathered Aries through a Waerrani woman named Mariyan, though Mariyan doctored records to conceal this. Years later, Idris manipulated Aries into participating in the FEMDIN project by falsely promising reunion with Piper, then orchestrated Piper's death through Kiriko's manipulation of a prison inmate. During the 20th War Games, Aries publicly declared a fictitious new nation to shield Apollo Regulus from war crime accusations, and Idris confronted the group, revealing both Kiriko's role in Piper's death and his true paternity of Aries. Waerrani politician Mickail Sidson intervened, forcing Idris to stand down.
The Rise of Idris Hadi and the Corruption of the Santerran Federation ►
Idris Hadi is a manipulative genius whose career spans decades of political corruption, scientific theft, and murder. He began by coercing researcher Surai into stealing the concept of Myst from the Waerrani, killing Tursk to enforce compliance. When Surai later died by suicide, Idris was made a scapegoat for the deception, suffering a quiet disgrace known only to the elite. He subsequently murdered scientist Octavia, stealing her discovery of converting Malei into energy, and used it to found Hadi Enterprises and the Hadi Enterprises Maleidic Power Plant, restoring his status among the powerful. Idris infiltrated the Santerran Federation government and became a founding member of the Public Data Trust, a nominally public database he weaponized for disinformation. He leveraged fabricated Waerrani aggression narratives to coerce the Waerrani into political allegiance with the Federation, threatening to expose their non-native planetary origins. Idris then secured Federation backing for human experimentation programs, using trafficked DNA donors. He fathered Aries through a Waerrani woman named Mariyan, though Mariyan doctored records to conceal this. Idris also accepted custody of Piper from Edith Markov for body-modification experiments. His manipulation extended to engineering Piper's death to coerce Aries into participating in the FEMDIN project and the 20th War Games. Idris' schemes were partially exposed during the 20th War Games through the intervention of Waerrani politician Mickail Sidson, forcing Idris to temporarily retreat.
