Saint Peacekeeper was once known as the leading advocate of all rulers across the world, empires and kingdoms alike. Known as "Grand Mediator of Knowledge", he holds an ancient artifact which he has to pass on to a kingdom proven worthy. This artifact, while not huge in size, is really valuable for its own. Bestowing power over kings, queens and monarchs alike for the betterment of this world, in which also the origin of Mediator of Knowledge's power. This power to be specific, allows him to access to light arts and keeping his physical body age intact despite how long he's been standing in the middle of the meeting circle. And this power doesn't only limit to that, the power bestowed factor depends on what the holder desires most and what's suitable for them.
The Grand Mediator decided to use this power not to rule, but to stand with the idea of the world uniting for once with his sword and a dream. And while he is aware that the people he's passing this on are glorious leaders that has whole empires to oversee, he at least want to find a person or two who shares his noble mindset.
In a meeting he held in a glorious empire, he invited numerous kings and queens from many different civilizations to see who is able to hold the artifact for good. One of his expectations was just "at least one alliance is made between them", but alas, his vision of unity was just an impossible dream. All of the rulers claimed their empires are better than the others, and they're the worthy ones. One after one after another claims, he raised his sword over being alarmed if anyone decided to strike sooner than later. Not holding back any further, he decided to speak before act.
“I DEMAND YOU SILENCE!” The Mediator can't just stay in the void and let everyone's tin cans remain loud. “This shall not persist. I suggest everyone to discuss, and at least form a friendship or an alliance with one another to keep this historical artifact together. Unchecked power only leads to arrogance.” But the bickering continues. Words of bloodshed, condemnation and threats in the hall overwhelms him. It leads him to his last resort.
“Alas, uncontrollable lust for strength and power only leads to this. Fine. If you don't want to share, then let your swords, spears and other weaponry speak. However, if this ends up being naught, and only destruction and suffering is the outcome, there is no one to blame but YOURSELVES for all of those.”
The declaration of violence is heard, and for the flow of peace they ignore, the flames of war is ignited.
But deep down, he knew that this will only slim their chances of getting the artifact worthy for them by tenfold. Ashamed of allowing war and violence to happen over insatiable hunger for power instead of initiating peace, The Grand Mediator acknowledged this as a failure and now he has to seek penitence. Now abandoning his title and golden apparel he wore as the Grand Mediator, he walked across the world to seek an answer to stop this war once and for all. And throughout the journey, he finally stumbled to a land in the Equatorial Line, his home place before he accepted the 5 Trials of Hope, still untouched by the nearest empire that is in the clash. A huge space of the barren land gives him a plan; to let the artifact grow stronger in a form of a grand tree, standing tall. And he believes, the newer branch of the artifacts will grant the future finders more than ever, in hopes of them not falling into temptation of powers and put the powers to a better use.
Now that he has found hope over putting the violence to an end, he forms a group of people, The Juries, regular without powers to aid them, but has proven themselves worthy for helping him during his previous pursuit. And with that, he has given himself the title of "Saint Peacekeeper" with a simpler, less of royalty outfit but purer with the ethereal colours of light pinks and whites. And that sets him out for the ultimate crusade; To stop this war at once, and prove himself right.
