Biography
Goat Kakay was born on 10-12 579 TT.
In 515 TT, his cousin Gotuph, the Ossbosche of Sakraim, died. Goat was elected to replace him later the same year.
Goat Kakay died on 12-7 496 TT. While it was initially thought to have been of old age, it was later found that the drinking water had been contaminated with lead, and upon feeling the effects of lead poisoning, Goat believed (according to his last journal entries) that he had been dieting improperly, and began mostly eating soup to calm his humors. These soups, due to being watery in nature as soups are, dramatically increased his lead intake until he died.
Blindness
Goat had an unknown condition which caused his eyesight to rapidly decay following his adolescence; by the age of 22 he was reported as almost completely blind. Despite this, he was a prolific scribe, writing quickly and precisely off of muscle memory alone. This talent of his was known far and wide, and for over a century after his death the word "Goat" was used as a synonym for skilled or impressive.
