Kufu, the High Priest originating from Murat, rose to command Astria's guerrilla resistance after hostile machines invaded. He sheltered and strategically directed Queen Lilia and Prince Jimsa within desert underground sanctuaries following their flight from the assimilated Cosmoralian Empire. His enduring mission traced back to a clandestine Murat refugee initiative: generations of selective breeding within Astria's royalty to awaken latent superhuman powers in twins Jimsa and Affle. Recognizing that only merging the siblings' distinct energy beams could amplify their destructive force against the mechanical onslaught, Kufu united them. When this fusion proved inadequate to eradicate the threat, he enacted a terminal protocol. Kufu engineered and initiated a planetary-scale explosion, annihilating Astria to purge the invaders while consuming himself and the remaining resistance.
