=== Background ===
Triune Thought's meteoric rise through the ranks of sorcerers began almost immediately. As a mortal, his general aptitude for logic aided him in acquiring a job sorting important sorcery books a the city library. This job he worked for nearly a half a decade without incident.

The proprietor and head librarian had no issue with allowing the young man to read the texts in his offtime, knowing no harm could come of it. Triune Thought held knowledge in too high an esteem to risk damaging the precious books. He happily sorted and read, carefully avoiding stepping on any important Dragon Blood or Deliberator's footsteps. The library was his treasure.

Everything was in a stable equilibrium until Triune Thought was splattered with mud by a passing chariot. Short on time, and on sense he reminisced later, he nevertheless appeared at the library hoping to clean himself before going about his duties. There he encountered the very rider of the chariot who had so skillfully hit the mud puddle.

Disgusted at the appearance of the page, the terrestrial demanded his immediate and permanent vocation termination. At first Triune Thought said and did nothing, wisely avoiding angering the patron further. However, the lack of any noticeable reaction only spurred the haughty man further. Hoping to procure a reason to give a beating, he suggested in no subtle terms that he had the clout to prevent Triune Thought from ever working in a respectable library ever again. When that failed, he even suggested he would have the library deconstructed and built into a new manse designed purely for base and carnal gladiatorial entertainment.

He did indeed provoke a reaction, but before he could understand what was going on he, and everyone in the area, became completely paralyzed by a confounding problem. Immediately engrossed with the koan, "The ultimate answer is 42, the ultimate question; what do you get when you multiply 6 by 9?", no one noticed Triune Thought slip away, avail himself of the library's facilities, and return.

As the terrestrial attempted to resume his tirade, Triune Thought nodded sagely as the man railed on how one should attend to cleanliness in public places, from the lowest page to the highest authority and so on. The raving slowed as the terrestrial slowly noticed first the glowing caste mark upon the page's brow, then the strangely pristine clothes he was wearing, and finally that his own cloak and dress were horribly soiled.

"I must say," remarked the new exalt, "I do find your argument infallible, if hypocritical."

The terrestrial became confounded once more, this time without the use of sorcery.

Triune Thought's exaltation became something of a meme amongst the Dragon Bloods. "Getting Paged" referred to any terrestrial exalt who thoroughly embarrassed themselves for several decades after the incident. Meanwhile, Triune Thought himself had devoured his education, and quickly moved on to what truly interested him, sorcery.

The years spent pouring over books in the library were not wasted upon him. With a mental dexterity and aptitude impressive for even a Solar Exalt, he quickly surpassed expectations.

He was much slower in adjusting to the rigors of Solar social and political life. The Deliberative, while a logical structure, seemed bogged down in unnecessary trifles. Slowly he decoded the framework of politics and high society and added them to his repertoire of skills.

Using them he secured a minor position in the boundless hierarchy of Yu Shan. As Principal Artificer for the Division of Applied Logic, Triune Thought's position and power are minuscule, but he is well attuned to the work, and to those who dwell in power above him.

Triune Thought is a Faithful of the Deliberative. Still relatively young, his voice in the deliberative is seldom heard, but when it is he speaks from a solid base of logic, reason, and reality. Few can argue with the duties assigned by the Unconquered Sun, after all.

=== Appearance ===
Gender: Male <br>
Height: 6' 1"<br>

=== Description ===

While far outshone by many of his celestial peers, Triune Thought is incredibly handsome by mortal standards. His silky white hair drapes loosely down his front and back, parted carefully so as not to obscure his face. Three skin mount amulets form a triangle in the center of his chest, but are in most cases obscured.

Fine and flexible blue robes adorn his tall frame, flowing but unobtrusive. With extensive martial arts training, it can be impossible for even expert eyes to discern his movements. Though his body is dexterous and formed, Triune thought thinks little of his physical characteristics. Again, his peers exceed him by leaps and bounds, and to them he is but a novice.

What distinguishes Triune Thought is his mastery of social, political, and particularly sorcerous matters. Without pause or misstep he dances between these skills, and the masks they require.

With a soft smile and pleasant manner, he easily endears himself to the people and to their courts. With a burning passion, he fathoms the untouched possibilities of sorcery. With grace and poise, he speaks movingly in politics. Yet masks these remain, facets and personas behind which lies the genuine man, unseen.

Triune Thought's true nature is cold, logical, and callous. Mortal problems are their own creation, and solving them is only a worthwhile pursuit insofar as it furthers his goals. Alliances and positions are carefully calculated. Even charitable acts without any apparent reward are planned and considered at length for the effects they have on perception and reputation. His true purpose is delayed by these distractions.

Sorcery is still a vastly unrefined art, or so Triune Thought believes. The special traits exhibited by the masters of various absorption techniques belief a greater realm of sorcery untouched and unnoticed. He seeks that infinity, and to bring it to Creation along with the solutions and advances it provides. That shall be his gift to mortals and exalted alike, and yoking him with petty tasks and burdens beforehand only delays a greater age.

Yet even this secret he uses to his advantage. In combat and adversity, he allows his emotionless, logical nature a leash, hiding a fraction as one mask among many others. Foes are crushed and torn apart in the unmerciful jaws of logic, while he ostensibly fights for a noble virtue or righteous cause.

Beneath it all he awaits his chance, and slowly moves his pieces into place.

=== Contacts ===

'''[[Campaign:Era of Dreams/Kirie|Kirie]], Elei, and Sanko'''<br>
A triplet of skilled but young students of Falling Blossom Style of martial arts. Enamored with the warm, kindling face of Triune thought and his subtle praises, they became his body guards at his behest and the recommendation of their sifu. Though his motives remain a mystery and his methods often perplexing, each believes unfalteringly in the man she is sworn to protect.

'''Kontropian, Modus Operandi of Structured Minds'''<br>
The head of the Bureau of Logic. At one time intimidated by Triune Thought's quick ascension through the ranks, this god has long since ceased seeing his employee as a threat and instead as an irreplaceable asset. So long as Triune Thought is more concerned with furthering his place in sorcery's annals than logic's, the god is content to reap the benefits of his subservient's work.

'''Numeron the Fundamental Order of Counts'''<br>
The head of the Bureau of Mathematics in Yu Shan and thus all matter mathematical. The Bureau of Logic and by extension Triune Thought's own division are subservient to this god. So encompassing is his station that without him, much of Creation's laws would turn astray. While he has many favorites within his vast domain, Triune Thought's relative youth yet profound understanding of his field kindles a soft admiration. Numeron is far above Triune Thought in station, but nevertheless considers him worthy of better, if only he had more experience.

'''Cantankerous Giver of Suns'''<br>
The god governing dispensations pertaining to Solars. Despite seeing potential and having high hopes for Triune Thought's ideals and dreams, the Exalt's position is too low to warrant a higher salary, at least until he finds some way to expand it.

'''Escinvelo, Eater of the Solar Hoard'''<br>
The god governing collection of Ambrosia relating to Solar cults. His interactions with Triune Thought are many, as the exalt entered Yu Shan's service at a considerably earlier age than most. Afraid that such a youth would be easily corrupted by the potential of Ambrosia, Escinvelo came to speak with Triune Thought. Surprised by his calm candor and easy nature, Escinvelo shook off his fears. While he is certain that Triune Thought's amicability and penchant to go abroad will earn him adoration beyond the norm for a Lawgiver, he firmly believes it is an unintended side effect.
