I checked to the best of my ability that the blurb about what he was doing during the tricade war didn't contradict anything.

Early Life

Anwu Ptandr was born in 25 PC to Seyt Ptandr, a lawyer, and Hikwe Ptandr, his secretary, in the Abl-Tethwais neighborhood of Behwallu, Fhauddrho. Anwu was the third of eight children, and the first to have been born while his parents were married. The Ptandr household was troubled, with his parents having married, divorced, and remarried over the course of their first two children, and frequently fighting duriing Anwu's life. Seyt barely made enough money to afford rent and food, forcing Anwu and his siblings to begin working odd jobs around the neighborhood. He would later recount that as a child he had wanted to be a comedian, but felt that persuing a career in the arts would betray his hard-working family.

When he was not working odd jobs, Anwu was working for his father as a clerk, and found himself attracted to a career in law.

I didn't want to fill my old man's shoes. They were tight shoes, he could barely walk in them himself. No, I wanted to do better than he did. My dream in life was that when I'd be his age I could afford to keep the lights on and support a family, and I could turn to him and say "that was easy, what were you complaining about?" I know, pretty rash stuff, but I was a kid.

Ptandr excelled in schooling, earning his legal certification at the age of 19. He spent the following decade as a freelance lawyer, first in the lower Behwallu area then in south Ywl once he could afford to move. Ptandr earned a name for himself as boisterous and eccentric, and had a reputation for managing to bring down high criminal charges to low sentences. His fortunes changed rapidly, as his rising wealth was combated by lavish spending. In 48 PC, he formed a law firm with his father and two of his brothers, entitled Ptandr, Ptandr, Ptandr, and Ptandr; management disagreements and personal fueds led to its disillusion in 49 PC.

Priesthood

In late 52 PC, Anwu had a sudden moment of revelation calling him to the priesthood. Conflicting accounts have been given of this event, with some sources claiming that Ptandr had a vision of Modhes Ywl beckoning him, and other claiming he simply had reached a moral low point in career and felt a calling to do good. It is commonly attested that Ptandr was in severe debt and legal trouble, but this has never been confirmed.

Anwu accellerated through priestly schooling at an unusal speed, becoming ordained in only 7 years. That someone of Ptandr's age, into his 30s, was even accepted into priestly training was also quite unorthodox for the time, and both of these things became causes for skepticism. No investigation has however found any wrongdoing on the part of Anwu or any institution he studied at, outside of the general distrust in priestly schools aimed towards adult converts. Anwu himself has stated that he was simply already well acquanted with logic and rhetoric from his time as a lawyer, and took well to the rapid pace of missionary-priest education.

Immediately following his Ordination, Ptandr joined the Missionary Division and set out for various Uldeysachwot nations. He briefly toured Niueyjar, Utlia, Casea, eee, and Spyron, before coming to T'vaqi. His charismatic and rhetorical style of preaching was popular there, and he quickly became well known among the small circle of lasting missionaries in the region. When High Priest Chuig'al Ebarh departed for Wälstanland, he selected Ptandr as his successor, which was ratified by Modhes Temple despite his freshness as a priest.

During the Tricade War, Ptandr fled T'vaqi, along with the majority of missionary priests. While some have labelled this as an act of cowardice, Ptandr himself has insisted that the survival of the priesthood was more important than the perceived honor of staying under threat of death.

Personal Life

Anwu married fellow Behwallu area lawyer Megna Tsiprani in 47 PC, when he was 22 and she was 26. Their marriage was tumultious, and only lasted a year. The couple would however keep in touch, maintaining an on-and-off relationship that would lead to a second marriage in 52 PC, though this only lasted three months. The end of this second marriage was shortly before Anwu chose to leave law. The couple had one son, Hsate Ptandr, who also became a lawyer.

In 71 PC, Ptandr conceived a child with Chaplainess Sthav'i Qiqala, a native T'vaqii convert. The birth of their daughter, Davralo P'tanda, was briefly the subject of much propaganda, as a symbol of unity between Deysachni and T'vaqii.
