The most mysterious man who ever lived. In the 18th century he appeared, dazzling the royal courts of Europe, whispering in the ears of kings, and shaping the future of nations. Then he vanished without a trace. Inventor, investor, and hidden architect behind today's relatively peaceful Europe. The locomotive, modern textiles, and the artificial gold and silver that gilded the 19th century, all were shaped by his hand. A master of every art who gave without taking because he already possessed the greatest treasure of all: immortality. For centuries he has lived in legend only. However, that silence is giving way to whispers of his return.
