IN 1353 B.C, the young Amenhotep became Pharaoh when the Egyptian civilization was at its peak. During his 5th year of rule, he had changed his name to Akhenaten, meaning 'Living Spirit of Aten'. This was around the same time when he completely rebooted the religion of the ancient Egyptians from polytheism to monotheism much to the chagrin of his people. Instead of keeping gods like Amen, Horus, and Osiris, he introduced a sun disk known as Aten and taught his people that this disk was above all other gods and gave life. He even went as far as to build new temples and a new city known as Amarna to honor Aten. During his reign, the oddball Pharaoh changed the aspect of art as well.

Thinking it was Aten reaching out to him, the Pharaoh was elated to meet his god until to his horror, he learned otherwise.

Thorarin had honored the former Jarl's request to spare the lives of his family members so Starkad and his remaining family members were safe for now. Several years later when he was brave and strong enough, Starkad had challenged the usurper to combat for the title of Jarl and ended up winning it back for his family. His brother Mord, who wasn't brave enough to do attempt such a feat, was initially jealous, but grew to overcome envy with respect and awe for his younger brother's prowess and courage displayed during the duel. Not long after, Starkad and his oldest son Arnvid would set off for conquests of foreign lands in the West. They would soon establish base in modern day Isle of Man.

These foreigners would then use a foreign weapon that would shoot lightning to stun him and abduct him from his position. Later on, he would learn that this weapon was called a taser and its purpose was to take immobilize an individual and prohibit him from resisting. The Jarl would then begrudgingly accept his fate in the museum, but it pains him each night to know that instead of feasting in Valhalla, he would live out the rest of eternity as a kind of slave for these people.
