Elephande is perhaps the most legendary figure in the history of the Strifes. From his birth of unknown circumstances in 2010 of the Second Strife to his final journey into the realm of the High Elder in the first year or the Fourth Strife, he has been in the forefront of his people. At the age of ten, his second cousin, Matriarch Allyutig, died, naming the young Elephande as her heir.

Elephande was immediatly beset with a problem in the form of Dwindler's War, in which he became allied with the other leaders of the Original Four: His cousin Elephate of Defond, and more distant relations Quien of Suisan and Assiria of Assir. The Cónserver alliance prevailed, although at great loss: Only three herds remained two years after the end of the war: Defond, led by the ailing Elephate, Friendship, led by Elephande, and Elephate, the herd created by his self-glorified brother, Elephade Zambiandë.

Defond alone was left to guard Chilaquand, as the two brothers and their herds went into a long exile. The Zalendaria, or "Carrier of the Past," carried Elephande to Indosyne, where he gained the friendship and alliance of the native Intyde, forming the Indosyne Union.

Elephande faced many miltary challenges in the Dreg, led by Supreme Commander Sulit-Aladan, a brilliant military leader, and the Cladlen, led by the ruthless dictator Askinqua.

Askinqua attacked twice at Chilaquand, the last time marking the end of the Third Strife. Askinqua's strength was unbelievable, and it took the full strength of Indosyne, lead by Elephande's son, Patriarch Afrin and High General Akula, the Dreg, led agian by Supreme Commander Sulit-Aladan, Elidion's Army, led by Elidocan Rachel and the General of Anegon, and Istean led by Patriarch Altoda and General Alinqua just to hold him at bay. The scales were tipped when Elephande and Zambiandë led forth the forgotten monarchs of Frontain, the countless soldiers killed in Dwindler's War. The price was heavy, but Elephande held the upper hand.

The next year, Elephande finally grew tired of his exploits. His final journey occured when he journeyed alone to the Realm of Elder Higenti, where legend says he helped chain Atuitá, the malevolent force behind the agressions agianst him.

He left his command in the hands of very able leaders: Indosyne Union Leader Afrin, his son, military genius High General Akula, the commander of his space force, Patriarch Suligan, and the gentle but wise voice of reason: Zambiandë's daughter Allysuntis, the greatest names of their generation. It is up to them to continue his legacy.
