History
The Cinder King before ascending to leadership served as an exectutioner, during this period of his life he developed a keen interest in the nature of power and concluded that it was more powerful to have others follow his commands than merely killing them.[2]
The Cinder King later in life met a Thaylen worldhopper who was attempting to make contact with the natives of Canticle. Fearing that he was a demon the Cinder King killed him and recovered a series of encylopedias on his person that informed the Cinder King of the existence of the wider Cosmere, as well as the people who inhabited it.[2]
Following this the Cinder King began to sieze power throughout all of Canticle, eventually forming the Union. During the height of his power he held considerable influence over every corridor on the planet and all habitable regions.[3] He was known for his violent methods of controlling the natives and killed multiple off-worlders during his reign.[2]
