He is the second oldest of the ill-fated order of archangels (the sabayoh) created by Rejiksson during The First and Last War against Exaka. He aided his brothers and sister in the attack on Exaka's fortress in Mesaba. After their victory at the end of the war, the sabayoh were to be put on trial to be judged by the remaining deities of the Sosha Genia to decide the fates of all great and powerful, and potentially dangerous, beings. As his trial neared, he saw other servants of war set off to their fates, being either subjugated, re-forged or sealed away as a prisoner for untold millenia to come. He grew fearful and escaped, quickly going into hiding and solitude. Astor, created with free will, felt he had every right to pursue his own freedom and fate.
