-PERSON ON INTEREST RECORD SHEET- NAME: XOFA UNDULATUS

NATION OF ORIGIN: FRUCTUM IMPERII

RACE: LIZZARIAN

BRANCH: C.D.N SPECIAL FORCES

RANK: SERGEANT

BIRTH: CALEF 2ND 122AFG STATUS: Deceased as of 189AFG

BIOGRAPHY:

Because of Lizzarian culture, little is known of Xofa’s upbringing. Even though he was raised in Fructum Imperii. We believe his childhood was on par with Lizzarians of the time and area. A relatively poor household (by Fructum standards). Which is why it's so remarkable that Xofa was able to get enough money to attend engineering college. Not only that, but graduate top of his class (Class of ‘46) at the Fructum Imperial engineering Colledge. Xofa was drafted shortly after his graduation into the Fructum Navy, but his degree spared him from a career at sea when the CDN set an order for engineers. Xofa was quickly switched to the CDN where he underwent extensive special forces training. In 148AFG Xofs Unulatus was placed in CDN Squad Bravo. There he served with distinction running routine ops for the CDN such as humanitarian aid to New World nation and ambassador protection. In late 159AFG Xofa, along with the rest of CDN Squad Bravo where tasked with investigating a mysterious bunker found beneath the ruins of Nonmarr City. In their investigation, Bravo discovered the frozen body of Kat Princess Kilda. With the help of Xofa’s engineering expertise, Bravo was able to resuscitate Kilda. Bringing a valuable asset to Herrich. During this time, Xofa was under threat of court marshal by [H]General Jack Aurhtur. From the termination report, Xofa was insubordinate and disrespectful to a superior. While under bunk arrest in early 160AFG. Xofa, along with Bravo took part in the 1st Battle of Nonmarr City. It was during the battle that Xofa with the

rest of Bravo (Except for [H]Co. Pflanzer) went AWOL and kidnapped Princess Kilda according to [H]Co. Michael Zootoca’s statement. During the hunt for Bravo in Motu City, all members except for Xofa where accounted for. (Sgt. James Montgomery and Princess Kilda where also being located for rescue.) The terrorist bombing in Motu City was the last time Xofa was officially seen. Xofa was determined to be a suspect in the attack and a 2nd search warrant by Fructum Imperii was issued. Somehow Xofa and Bravo found CDN Alpha member Co. Edward Hanze who was MIA, and found themselves back in Nonmarr City where they fought Lacertia at the dig site. H.O.I Team Bravo found Xofa and CDN Bravo Squad shortly after a firefight between Bravo and a group of Lacertia abord an Invader Class Starship. Xofa’s body was found slumped in a corner of a Lacertia landing craft with a large stab wound in his chest. According to testimonies by Co. Pflanzer and [H]Pvt.(Ret) Merianae, Xofa was stabbed with an ancient electro staff by a Lacertia soldier. Blood samples found on the staff back up the testimonies. After CDN Squad Bravo’s return to Herrich custody, Xofa was given a full pardon for his crime against the Empire by President Von Houten and a letter addressed to Fructum officials urging them to do the same.

[END OF TRANSCRPIT]

LETTER OF PARDON RECOMMENDATION FROM PRESIDENT VON

HOUTEN:

“Dear Fructum Justice Department. It is with great shame that I write to you in this manner. The crimes of CDN Team Bravo are fabricated. After hearing testimonies myself, I have determined the innocent of the crimes of kidnapping and terrorism. But I can only pardon the former. I write to request a pardon of these brave soldiers, one of which, a Lizzarian named Xofa sacrificed his life in the defense of our planet just hours ago.

Amongst the monumental graves in the centre of the Sudfriedhof of Leipzig stands the impressive Ullstein family grave. The Ullstein’s have a great, historical legacy in Germany, founding the distinguished publishing house Ullstein Verlag:  

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ullstein_Verlag

It is unique in this large, historic cemetary and it is unusual in its pyramidal form.

The shape echoes of pre-Christian religion, it references the pyramids of Egypt and the belief in multiple Gods. The representation is of a greater understanding of the universe, the mystical power of the universe with the influences of the pattern of the stars and the influence on the energy of life.

The inference of a Templar legacy is developed further to know that Ullstein Verlag, founded by Leopold Ullstein, in Berlin, in 1877 built the Ullsteinhaus printing house between 1925 and 1927 at Templehof. 

Originally Templehovewas first mentioned in a 1247 deed issued at the Walkenried Abbey as a Komturhof (commander's court, the smallest holding entity of a military order) of the Knights Templar whose leadership and many fellow knights had been expelled from the Kingdom of Jerusalem on its downfall in 1291. 

The centre of the settlement, consisting of the church and the original estate, was fortified and originally completely surrounded by water. The Templars were joined by fifteen families of landless farmers' sons from the Rhine, who could not inherit any estate from their parents because of over-fragmentation of those estates. Legates of the Templars offered them fertile soil and the protection of Tempelhove's stronghold.

On a previous visit to the völkerschlachtdenkmal I noticed this bridge across the raiway line with an obelisk on each corner. Similar to the pyramid the obelisks are a symbol of pre-Christian religion, it references the beliefs of Egypt and the belief in multiple Gods. The representation is of a greater understanding of the universe, the mystical power of the universe with the influences of the pattern of the stars and the influence on the energy of life.

It was on my next visit that I noticed the symbols designed into the stone pavement on the East side of the bridge. The eight pointed star represents the ancient belief in one God, Anu. It is a symbol of Jupiter, the largest star in our solar system. The circle around the star may reference the planet itself or the unbroken line to contain the power of the knowledge contained within the symbol of Anu.

The wider view reveal that this ancient symbolism is the iris of an eye, representing the all seeing eye of God, the eye of Providence, of God watching over humanity.

The modernism of this pavement work is particularly interesting in the selection of this design and it’s placement at the entry to the bridge bearing the obelisks that leads to the monument of the battle of nations. One of Europe’s most significant battles over one hundred years before.

Consider if this is significant of something greater about this particular location and the meaning of the battlle of nations.

In my research to understand the meaning of this symbolism in this location I identified that this particular piece of road is part of Via Imperii, one of the two most significant trade routes through the Holy Roman Empire.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Via_Imperii

 This road stretched from Rome to the Baltic. It not only passes through Leipzig but Leipzig is the only intersecting location between the Via Imperii and Via Regia, the onther most significant trade route through the empire.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Via_Regia

This certainly explains the symbolism but creates interest in how this influence remains strong enough to influence 20th century street design.

It certainly remains strong enough that a group have created the only street fronted shop selling Templar inspired regalia and featuring a communal meeting table.
