Biography[]
Cleon2 was born at the very end of Cleon1's life, who wished to establish a genetic dynasty of clones, instead of taking a wife and fathering an heir. He was the very first Brother Dawn. He was raised by Demerzel, the close confidante of Cleon1.[1]
Cleon2, fearing an alliance between Anacreon and Thespis, arranged for his shadowmaster to frame Thespin King Throy un Thark for the murder of his new Anacreon bride. The assassination set the planets Anacreon and Thespis on a course of mutual animosity that lasted for hundreds of years.[2] After his death, Cleon II would be remembered by the epithet "The Scholar," and his likeness was represented on a pedestal in the Hall of Cleons.[1]
