Past
A shaman from Greece, Theodoros, after receiving the oracle of the gods, brought back an ancient black magic, that was otherwise thought to be lost in Greece. However; he still lacked both numerous techniques and knowledge, and so decided to participate in the Shaman Fights to obtain further knowledge.
Shaman Fights First Round
During the first round, Theodoros was set up to fight against Faust VIII, a man who also uses skeletons. Seeing how strong his robust Spartan soldiers were against Faust's simple skeletons, Theodoros thought that Faust had no chance. however, They even had a small chat about life and death and who was most insane one before the fight began.[1]
However, the place where they fought was the Ueno Park, a place where patriots from the end of the Edo Era lay to rest. Faust proceeded to summon them all and easily outnumbered Theodoros and his Spartans, just as the Persians had done with the Spartans at the battle of Thermopylae. In the end, Theodoros would be defeated and even cost his own life.[2]
