He appears to have been well educated and was taught by many of the best professors in the land.

A commonly said quote by John was: "In my opinion, the greatest virtue in the world is not power, but the ability to control power." He fought in the battle of Civox Rue and was given the Lakreh award for "Bravery in the field and purity of the soul."

In the year 687 B.X, John led the SS Halesnede on the first ever expedition to Exelcis. He was 53 at the time and felt that he had to do something the make the rest of his life worth living. John first heard of Exelcis from a local fisherman who had told him about a strange continent that he had sighted on a trading route. Very few people believed the fisherman apart from John and several other people who decided to prove that this tale was true. And so it was that john sailed to Exelcis on the SS Halesnede and founded the village of Herclam.
