Ramaz was an ancient Atavus who was the closest thing to a religion icon within the Taelon culture. He was considered as one of their devils with the Companions fear of him being mythic. A close approximation to Humanity would be Satan, Hitler and Genghis Khan rolled into one being.

Thus, came the formation of the Taelons where they extended their lives by a factor of two hundred.
