Having been a gifted Cihphist, with his skills focused on combat techniques due to his upbringing, he joined the Combat Cihphist program and quickly honed his skills further on the battlefield. As the years progressed so did his ability, at the age of 150 he became officially certified as a Level 4 Combat Cihphist and entered into the ranks of the Elites. There he served for centuries fighting on the front lines leading whole battlegroups into combat. By the age of 470 he attained the rank of a Level 5 Cihphist. Having obtained high renown from his superior officers he was called upon for the most dangerous and critically important missions. He survived in situations where most did not. At the age of 560 he was retired from active combat and made a General. He served as a general until the age of 690 at which time he was asked to become the official liaison to Etan Rachi for the military and become the Argent General directly responsible for the deployments of the Argents.

Motivation
Ristolte is driven by a desire to be the best he can possibly be, he doesn’t strive to compete with others but instead continually seeks to improve himself. He also seeks the same for all those who serve under him.

Goal
Ristolte has lived a life not many can claim due to his exploits, but he has no desire to fade away into obscurity. He seeks to have an impact on the universe for as long as he can breathe. His desire is to remain within the military until he no longer has the strength to get out of bed in the morning.

Conflict
Ristolte struggles with his Huzien frailty, although his age would put him at the later end of the Huzien lifespan his connection to the Enesmic plane has prevented that. He struggles with the realize that some day he will die. He looks to Soahc as an individual that has overcome that obstacle but has a deep seeded hatred because he knows he will never obtain it. Although not directed at Soahc and more at himself it still sometimes leads to conflicts in their interactions.

Epiphany
He will die one day, and he isn’t Soahc. He understand that reality and comes to accept it. It isn’t a limitation of himself that prevents such a thing. Rather it is nature being nature, it is better sometimes to let nature takes its course instead of trying to fight the inevitability and miss enjoying the life he has left.
