History[]
Atticus became the King of Katolis an unknown point in history and fathered a son named Harrow. He eventually became the father-in-law of Sarai, the grandfather of Ezran, and the step-grandfather of Callum.
Atticus formed a good relationship with Kpp'Ar and with his pupil Viren, who became Katolis's newest High Mage,[1] and he became concerned for the latter's well-being following Soren's illness, Kpp'Ar's disappearance, and Lissa's abandonment.[2]
Atticus eventually died of an unknown cause nine years before the birth of Azymondias. Seven sunsets after his death, his reign as King of Katolis was succeeded by Harrow.[3]
Puzzle House[]
Atticus is sitting in the throne room with the company of Harrow and a pregnant Sarai when Perran, Viren, and Claudia arrive. Perran reports that Claudia's reckless dark magic training continued to cause numerous troubles around Katolis's castle. Atticus decides to settle the matter by giving Claudia the permission to sit on the throne. He then tells Claudia that there are proper places for everything and that while the throne is for answering questions and listening to people's concerns, it along with the halls and rooms of the castle were not the right places for practicing dark magic. Atticus is pleased when Claudia agreed to practice dark magic in more appropriate places such as her father's chambers before allowing her and Perran to leave the throne room so that he can discuss other matters with Viren.
Atticus reveals to Viren that he is curious about the mysterious disappearance of the High Mage's mentor Kpp'Ar. When Atticus asks about what is hidden within the Puzzle House that Kpp'Ar built, Viren can only answer that he could barely walk through a few rooms beyond its entrance and that Kpp'Ar was preparing a surprise for Claudia and Soren. Atticus then asks Viren on how well he is doing since Soren's illness, Kpp'Ar's disappearance, and Lissa's abandonment all occurred in a short timespan. Viren simply replies that he is doing well enough, and Atticus chooses to not pry any further before he offers the former his help if anything can be done.
