HISTORICAL INFORMATION
"I have always believed that the true essence of exploration lies not
in the mere discovery of lands or cultures, but in the art of exploiting
their untapped potential. It is through the exploitation of these tribes,
their culture, and their art that I can create a legacy that will solidify my
name in the annals of history."
― Nat
Born into privilege and a legacy of power, Nathaniel Kincaid II was the fifth child of a former Governor and the grandson of a wealthy commercial investor. He grew up amidst the opulence and political machinations of high society, but always felt a pull towards the unknown, a yearning to discover and unravel the secrets of the wider galaxy. However, his privileged upbringing fostered a sense of entitlement and a disregard for the well-being of others. As he matured, Nathaniel's thirst for recognition and status led him to exploit the knowledge and resources available to him, manipulating his connections to secure opportunities for personal gain.
During his expeditions and research endeavors, Nathaniel meticulously documented the Savarian Asmat tribes' cultural practices and created an inventory of their valuable art and artifacts. Rather than respecting their traditions and forming genuine connections, he saw them solely as opportunities to amass wealth and solidify his name within the academic community. The artifacts he collected were not treasured as a testament to a vibrant culture, but as mere trinkets to be sold to the highest bidder.
Nathaniel's actions were marked by a toxic mix of greed and self-interest. He capitalized on the vulnerability of the Asmat tribes, taking advantage of their trust and exploiting their people and their cultural heritage for personal gain. He sought to profit by placing their sacred art in prestigious museums and galleries, all in a calculated effort to enhance his own reputation and secure his place among the elite of academia.
In the wake of his encounters with the Asmat people, Nathaniel's true nature stood revealed, a stark contrast to the scholarly adventurer he may have presented himself to be. Behind closed doors, he relishes in his ill-gotten gains, basking in the glow of his stolen treasures, all while leaving a trail of broken trust and exploited cultures in his wake.
Nathaniel Kincaid, the embodiment of academic villainy, served as a chilling reminder of the dark side of intellectual pursuits. His insidious actions would cast a shadow over the pursuit of knowledge, tarnishing the noble quest for understanding with his own brand of greed and manipulation.
Following his expeditions to Savareen and his exploitative actions towards the Asmat tribes, Nathaniel Kincaid's fate took a sinister turn, shrouded in mystery and dark speculation. It was during one of his subsequent journeys, deep into the heart of the treacherous Asmat lands, that he mysteriously vanished, leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions and unsettling possibilities.
Initially, reports suggested that Nathaniel had met a tragic end, either succumbing to the treacherous terrain, drowning in the unyielding waters that surrounded Savareen, or falling prey to the savage wildlife that inhabited the untamed deserts. The circumstances of his disappearance were riddled with uncertainty, leaving room for speculation and whispered rumors that would haunt the memory of his ill-fated journey.
However, among those who were aware of the dark practices that persisted within some factions of the Asmat tribe, a chilling alternative theory took hold. Headhunting and cannibalism, though greatly diminished, were not entirely eradicated within the region. It was speculated, with an eerie sense of plausibility, that Nathaniel's exploitation of the Asmat people and their culture had incurred a wrath he could not evade.
Whispers echoed through the shadows, tales of a vengeful act perpetrated by the very people he had sought to exploit. The notion that Nathaniel had met his demise at the hands of the Asmat tribespeople, driven by a thirst for retribution and a desire to protect their ancestral heritage, sent a shiver down the spines of those who had encountered him.
As the mystery surrounding Nathaniel's disappearance deepened, so did the murky waters of speculation. The truth became an elusive specter, entwined in the fabric of a narrative tainted by exploitation, greed, and the dark consequences of his actions. Whether his ultimate fate had been sealed by nature's relentless grip or by the vengeful hands of those he had wronged remained an enigma, a haunting reminder of the consequences that awaited those who dared to exploit and betray.
Thus, Nat Kincaid's legacy became forever tarnished, a cautionary tale of a man who succumbed to his own ambitions and fell victim to the intricate web of exploitation he had spun. His disappearance, cloaked in uncertainty and macabre theories, stood as a chilling reminder of the consequences that awaited those who ventured too far into the realm of greed and manipulation.
In the annals of history, Nathaniel became a cautionary tale, a whispered warning among those who sought to understand the balance between scholarly pursuit and the ethical treatment of cultures. His name, forever entangled with the dark shadows of the Asmat tribe, serves as a somber reminder of the price one pays for the sins committed against others in the pursuit of personal gain.
