+Doctor Oran served as the physician to the court for Emperor [[Cleon XVII]]. When he planned to wed [[Sareth I]] of [[Cloud Dominion]] and end the [[Genetic Dynasty]], Oran was tasked with inspecting Sareth I's reproductive systems in preparation for her producing a royal heir. Oran inspected Sareth, surrounded by a large contingent. During the examination, Oran wanted to begin harvesting her eggs to begin producing an heir, but Sareth refused until she and Cleon XVII are legally wed. [[Demerzel]] says her womb became Imperial property when she agreed to the union but [[Rue Corintha]] counters that the Cloud Dominion has equal interest in the offspring. Oran defers to Demerzel's agreement to not harvest the eggs at the time.<ref name="AND" />
-Cleon XVIII is suspected as being involved in an assassination attempt on [[Cleon XVII]], due to the potential end of the [[Genetic Dynasty]] as Cleon XVII intends to marry and father children. Despite protesting his innocence, Cleon XVII wants him to go through a [[neural audit]] to confirm he wasn't involved. Later, he joins his brothers and [[Demerzel]] as they discover the [[Foundation]] may not have been destroyed and they plan next steps.<ref name="ISS" />
-At dinner with his brothers, Day and Dusk discusses the appointment of [[Bel Riose]] to deal with the Foundation. Day expresses his disdain at the [[Astrid|movement coach]] towards the brothers' lack of synchronization during the meal. He gets up and leaves, saying when he is married, he will not have to do this again. Later, Cleon XVIII joins his brothers, [[Sareth I]] and [[Rue Corintha]] for a meal where they discuss Sareth's family being killed as well as the end of the Genetic Dynasty. Sareth wonders what Cleon XVIII will do since the proposed marriage between herself and day would end his reason for being since he would never become [[Brother Day]].<ref name="AGOD">"[[A Glimpse of Darkness]]"</ref>
-Alongside his brothers, Cleon XVIII meets with [[Bel Riose]] when he arrives on Trantor. However, he and Brother Dusk are dismissed by Day when Riose requests a private audience.<ref name="KAC">"[[King and Commoner]]"</ref>
-Cleon XVIII privately meets with [[Sareth I]] where she wants to know if Brother Day was involved in the death of her family, or indeed if he is aware of his older brother’s involvement. In return, he wants to know if she was involved in Day's [[Assassination attempt on Cleon XVII|assassination attempt]], which she denies. As they continue talking, he doesn't deny his older brother could be capable of something like that, and further wonders if he may be capable as he grows older. Sareth suggests not, and suggests to him that they could get married - instead of her with Cleon XVII - as they are effectively the same person. This gives Cleon XVIII pause for thought.<ref name="WTSAST">"[[Where the Stars are Scattered Thinly]]"</ref>
-Dawn meets with Dusk at the [[Principium]]. They plan to awaken the memory of [[Cleon I]] for advice. Dawn is worried that their genetic drifting might not be enough to activate the memory, but Dusk says if they are not identical, the ceiling will drop on them. A digitized form of Cleon I emerges from the Principium, and Dusk tells him about Day's hoarding of authority. Cleon I's responses are frustrating; saying they must be united and to be envious of Day is to be envious of themselves as they are one man. Cleon I says that Day's actions are not their concern, and that his temperament has been accounted for.<ref name="TSATS">"[[The Sighted and the Seen]]"</ref>
-Still not satisfied, Dawn and Dusk head down to the Memorium and request metadata on their memory files, as well as for all the Cleons before them. As they wait for Keeper [[Yartell]] to retrieve the information, Dusk wonders about his own legacy,  and tells Dawn that maybe Day is doing him a favor by taking away his chair, and releasing him to actually live a life. Yartell arrives with the memory data, and everything appears normal. Dusk has the same average memory data as other Cleons of his age, although one thing stands out; Cleon I's memory size is significantly larger. Dawn says that if makes sense for Cleon I to have more since he presumably had more life experience. Dusk agrees it could, or it could mean the subsequent clones had something removed.<ref name="TSATS" />
