Changes

Mon Lon was born in [[Mantar]] into a family of a wealthy merchant who dealt in salt. Mon Lon began working at his father's enterprise, but then his father went out of favor with the court when the [[Nilma Oordar|Angry King]] came to power. This was due to his father being part of a [[The Coming of Vaona|bizarre cult]] that was gaining ground in Mantar, whereas Nilma was a Xaewoon Blue purist and began religious cleansing which resulted in a number of cults being banned and their followers expelled, most notably [[Foft]].

Mon Lon was not part of the cult, but seeing his father's standing losing ground, he took some of the family money and left for Delavire, where he used his funds to enter into slave trade. He began working the [[Delavire-Gonne slave trade corridor]], but quickly became known for his underhanded tactics, like providing information to the Kippies on his competitors' travel timetables and routes. He was described as arrogant and difficult to work with. Eventually, he made many enemies, but managed to became a relatively successful and important figure at Delavire. He hired a whole unit of personal guards and was unafraid of the Kippies due to establishing a good relationship with a number of tribes. However, in 1603 his slave caravan was attacked by one of the Kippie tribes and he was taken prisoner and then sold as a slave at Delavire to his competitor. It turned out that his competitors sent out word to local Kippie tribes that a reward was set for capturing Mon Lon and bringing him to Delavire alive.

For the next several years Mon Lon was utilized as a slave at his competitors' slave barracks. They sold him to one another in order to humiliate him. According to Mon Lon, he was frequently beaten and tortured. Eventually, however, his captors tired of denigrating their former enemy themselves and decided to move him on and sell him off.

Mon Lon was sent to Gonne, but the caravan was attacked by Kippies and he was again captured by a Kippie tribe, although a different one. He reached out to its chief and told his story: his previous standing, his cooperation with Kippies and his hardships as a slave. The chief was impressed by his life story and agreed to give him a chance to live as a free man in his tribe, as long as he vows complete loyalty and allegiance to the tribe. Mon Lon agreed. Over the next year he earned respect of the tribe, by teaching them about slave traders' routes, ways of working and habits, which allowed the tribe to rob several slave caravans. At some point in 1606 the tribe was attacked by the guards of one of the slave traders that they had robbed and who was able to track them down. Most of the tribe was killed, but some taken into slavery. Thus, a year later, Mon Lon was back on his way to Gonne where he was put on the market and bought by a [[Tref]] merchant named Done Darvis.

His exact whereabouts after the defeat at Gonne are not known in too great a detail, but he seemed to have coasted between Maird in the north and Kippie tribes in the south. Available evidence suggests that he did not attempt to revive his movement, probably realizing that achieving the same momentum would be impossible. He then attempted to join several Kippie tribes, but was reportedly turned down each time. He and several of his companions were killed by an unnamed Kippie tribe in 1615 [[SR]].
