Born into the creme de la creme of his beloved Opal City , he was made heir of his family's massive fortunes at his coming of age. Despite deeply loving Opal, he found its upper echelons drab and dull beyond measure. he preferred to console himself by pouring as much as he could into his great love: astronomy. In time, his hard work paid off and he made a great discovery: stars were not only cosmic furnaces, but even radiated immense energy waves into space, energy that had gone unnoticed for aeons.
