While his true place and date of birth aren't known, Jedah is resurrected in the desolate outer regions of Makai, the Devil World. His visions of what's to become of the world around him are things upon which he dwells heavily. Under the reign of Berial, the head of the Aenslaed family and true ruler of Makai, Jedah sees nothing but decay in the future of Makai. To him, it's sitting on the cusp of oblivion, and in his mind, he believes the only one that can save it is himself. To do this, Jedah believes every last soul must be united into a single soul so that peace can be brought to all. But for this to work, he needs a container — one that will be strong enough to hold all the souls — and that will enable him to not make the same mistake he feels Berial did in the past. With this in mind, Jedah concocts a plan to gather up the most valuable souls and unite them with himself in the hopes of making a container large enough to safely hold all the other souls.
