Nasil’s humble beginnings started when he became the apprentice of magician Monís Cärtëpt. He was taken young because his parents had abandoned him. Nasil was a slow learner and a rash young apprentice. He yearned to be a part of the public Magic Ministry that his Master was involved in. His chance came when Cärtëpt was summoned to the great Wizard’s Convention. Nasil was given the chance to witness history in the making as thousands of magicians, sorcerers, warlocks, and witches assembled to end the Dark Age. He was introduced to the concept of a supreme being called the Superior Spirit during this time. Although his Master did not approve, Nasil grew in spirituality by a young magician who was thoroughly immersed in the Superior Spirit. Nasil met his life-long companions, Hidûd ’Odhs and Jocğ Micoc, who were also in their apprenticeships. He befriended the older Velégnor who had just been deemed a full-ranking warlock. He also met a radical magician named Crazbudar.

During the many years of the Wizard’s Convention, Nasil grew considerably in size and in respect for his magical abilities. When the assassination of Monís Cärtëpt occurred, Nasil was honored to take his Master’s place at the Convention. Nasil continued to work for goodness and agreed with delegates who wanted a democratic universal legislature. When Crazbudar rebelled against the Convention and the War of the Crystals began, Nasil was a large forceful reminder of why the Wizard’s Convention and the mystic and powerful energy crystals were created. Crazbudar and Nasil became arch rivals and constantly engaged in magicians’ duels. When Nasil had finally defeated Crazbudar, he was given the title Nasil the Great. Nasil was also instrumental with the hiding of the final ten energy crystals. He saw to the creation of the Universal Government and was unanimously elected to sit as High Elder of the Universal Committee.

He was awoken one night by the Superior Spirit and given instructions to continue a set of plans that Nasil was not fully aware of. He continued his Master’s work and set up the five teenagers, Amy, Cody, Jennifer, Mark, and Lucas, to go to Modius and “discover” the energy crystals. He assigned a magician from the Committee to watch over the five energy crystals once they were taken back to Earth.

Nasil yearned to help King Neffon and Queen Ursila when the Witch Gratifa cast a spell over their daughter, Princess Kida but he could not because of the politics of the Universal Government. But when Nora, Glorita, and Felfo arrived a second time on Massovi because Gratifa had indeed fulfilled her prophecy, Nasil dispatched his apprentice, Jude Forque, to save the Princess. Nasil secretly observed his apprentice and when Gratifa was “too out of hand”, Nasil showed himself and defeated the evil Witch.

Nasil oversaw the startling trend of Council overseers being assassinated by unknown disgruntled murderers. He witnessed the inauguration of Overseer Arofax and Vice-Overseer Hamor. He was also present at the inauguration of Hamor to the office of Overseer.

When Nasil heard of an attack on Modius, he hurried to the planet to learn that his apprentice was wounded in the battle. He used a healing spell and she regained consciousness. Nasil also congratulated Jude when she defended the Agristan city from the Biosphere’s bewitched gungle.

Nasil visited Velégnor on Nemuson twice within two hundred years. The first time, Nasil spoke to Velégnor about instructions from the Superior Spirit. The two agreed that they had to work together to stop Satantine from returning. Velégnor agreed to use his sense of foresight and physic investigation to learn of the Dark One’s plans. The second time Nasil visited his old friend was two hundred years later. By that time, the warlock had been completely seduced by the Dark Ways. Nasil and Velégnor battled in Velégnor’s palace of Mazä-Ĵeal before Velégnor was defeated and killed when he fell out a window. Nasil vowed never to speak of this incident except with Hidûd ’Odhs and Jocğ Micoc.

When the Robotic Confederation formed a blockade around the planet of Modius, Nasil and the other elders of the Committee sent Forque and Arous to negotiate with Emperor Visus. Nasil later learned that the Confederation attempted to kill his apprentice and killed Arous. He advocated his disapproval of the Confederation’s actions but his comments fell on deaf ears. He later disclosed information about an energy crystal located on Yatuns. He sent Jude Forque and other Modiuns to retrieve it. He later heard of Queen Kida’s actions and how she took back the Modiun throne without Universal Government support. He also learned of the two energy crystals being taken from their owners. He arrived on Modius to learn from Nora, Felfo, and Glorita that two mysterious and young magicians had engaged them in a magical duel. He suspected the servants of Satantine to be behind the takeover of Modius. A few days later, he married Kida Kuuba and Ronvoy Messedu.

Nasil continues to serve as high elder of the Universal Committee of Magicians. His influence in the Debate Room; however, seems to be fading as more and more delegates are turning away from the idea of the possibility of a return by Dark One.
