-'''Subject One''' is (was) a scientist. Long ago, but after [[Ozmanthus Arelius]] ascended, he delved too deeply into hunger aura and hunger madra. To test his theory, he swallowed his own potion, figuratively, becoming the first test subject, and unintentionally became a beast, hungry, powerful, and nearly immortal. He’s the first [[Dreadgod]], and the progenitor of the other four Dreadgods. Because he’s a monstrously hungry and powerful beast of a man, hard to kill and nearly immortal, he’s kept bound in the [[Labyrinth]] in the power-suppression field covering [[Sacred Valley]]. However, despite his imprisonment, he still has the power to attack anyone who enters his domain, using his powerful hunger madra.

 ===Hunger Madra===
-In the process of studying the corrupting nature of hunger aura, and its horrifying effect on everything, including dreadbeasts, the researchers created a new kind of madra — hunger madra. <b>“They say he virtually brought hunger madra to life.”</b>(Reaper, ch 1). <br><br>Perhaps the research goal was to find a use for all the nasty hunger aura drifting around the planet, to contain it, so it could no longer corrupt the world.

 “The dreadgods will die only when there are no more Monarchs... Monarchs are too much for this world. A great weight. Sages like yourself are only half-ascended, which is within the scope of a world like ours.

 At some point, [[Tiberian Arelius]] came into the possession of Subject One’s hand, cut from his imprisoned but still kicking body. Who cut it off? Possibly Eithan. The mummified white hand can be used as a key to access the [[Labyrinth]]. Tiberian loaned it to Yerin’s master, the [[Sage of the Endless Sword]], because he wanted to find out how to separate [[Yerin]] from her Blood Shadow. When he died, [[Elder Whisper]] kept his void space open and preserved the hand (a key). Eventually he gave it to [[Lindon]]: <blockquote> Eithan swept a bow. “Eithan Arelius, at your service,” he said, though he’d met Elder Whisper before. “I am a humble scion of the ancient House Arelius, which is the symbol I bear. This key that you have shared with Lindon was once the property of my clan’s leader and Monarch, Tiberian.” (Reaper, ch 9)</blockquote>
