There is only one true insult you can offer to a Catazzari – 'Unremarkable'

THIS INFORMATION IS VERY OUT OF DATE AND REFERS TO AN EARLIER VERSION OF THE HISTORY BRIEF

Aldones di Catazarri is considered both the founder of the League, and a Paragon of Ambition. Once of the Highborn. Aldones revealed himself to be a reincarnation of one of their cultural heroes, Atuman the Navigator – denying their claims of Atuman attaining Paragonhood. Like Atuman, he departed the land of his origin to carve his own path, ultimately crowning himself the first Merchant Prince of what would become the League.

For many citizens of the League, even those of Temeschwar and Holberg he represents an aspiration to be "all that you can be." Historical reports say he never stopped trying to improve himself, and by doing so inspired those around him to do the same. The list of his many accomplishments appears excessive - he was recognised as a skilled swordsman, general, poet, painter, sculptor, actor, economic theorist, playwright and politican who demonstrated extensive education in history and the arts. He famously said that "talent is no substitute for hard work", and spent most of his "spare time" training his body or studying to improve his mind.

His private life is largely a closed book to later historians, but he is often quoted as saying "surround yourself with exceptional people, and make them love you." His cadre of friends, allies and supporters is seen as the blueprint for the guilds that forms the basis of League society.

Aldones disappeared shortly after his keynote address to the united League. Some maintain that he ascended at this point, the defining moment of his greatest success. Others maintain that he simply stepped back into the shadows, refusing to become a figurehead for his new Nation, and continued to observe the League from behind-the-scenes. Historians and theologians are divided on the matter.
