Afterwards he would turn his sights on reconquering all of the lands that once belonged to the Dze, the subsequent campaigns between 1598 and 1613 would devastate human populations in the south and east, with several kingdoms and polities who opposed him destroyed. The Thuhaq Kingdom fell by 1599, its people displaced and entire cities barren and turned to pastures, and most human resistance in the [[Hammerfell Peninsula]] collapsed by 1602. For the following decade he would instill a defensive policy as he prepared a grand offensive by 1612 in where he, in the span of little more than a year, would reconquer all lands inside the [[Polykariote-Eukariote Limes|Dze's homeland]].

==Personal Life.==
 
James is somewhat reserved. According to close friends, James is relatively easy-going, but would not seek out for others. Whether in intimate relationship or just socialising, it is said that James prefer reading in quiet or travelling to see the nature around him.
 
It is also mentioned that while he is reserved in social. He has a strong presence among others. He make speeches and announcements when required even if he don't want to.
 
James is of relatively short build compared to his peers. Standing at 1.65m tall and only weigh around 70 kg. However, surprisingly. He is known for his abnormal strength.


Ẋṭeḿł̣oq́ was born into the [[Alẋtśaq clan]] to [[T'aan Tłq̇uł̣eew|Tłq̇uł̣eew]] and his wife, [[Tẋeńat]], being his firstborn child. His father and mother would have three more children later and they all lived in the main Alẋtśaqi camp, where they would be for their first years in peace, learning the skills a Dze must acquire before adulthood.
James is a talented artist and writer, however. Due to his academic failure (more likely because of his inability to sit in a classroom which cause him to fall asleep during class.)
He was not able to go to the Federal University of Arts and Literature, hes also a renowned baker and chef. Which he enjoys to do every weekend after his government duties are done. Where he would cook for the public, usually the elders without children or orphans at public facilities throughout New Venezia. According to people within the Government, he has huge dislike toward security details and would often sneak away from them or distract them and flee. How he conduct these public events without the security detail noticing is still a mystery. However, it is known that he never host it at the same place next week.


When he was 12 years old, his father traveled with him to the allied [[Nuł̣ńt'e clan]] in search of a wife to arrange for him where it is said that after arriving, he would meet the T'aan's oldest daughter, [[T'eweł̣q]], and they were betrothed after an "omen from the stars", nowadays interpreted as a meteor shower, from the spirits had declared the marriage to be approven and be set 4 years in the future. With the Nuł̣ńt'e asking for him to stay and work with their tribe as part of the dowry price, he would remain for four years with the Nuł̣ńt'e, his father riding back to his people.
In privacy, it is known that he is quite a loudspeaker. He enjoy alcohol and profanity. However, he does not support excessive drinking. He also dislike smoking, according to Admiral Frederick Edgar about James, he described "If you smoke in front of him, He'll grab the smoke out of your mouth and throw it out of the window. Do not smoke in front of him."
===Adolescence===
The mostly peaceful life of Ẋṭeḿł̣oq́ would be cut short when his father died in a [[Thuhaq-Alẋtśaqi War|skirmish against the Thuhaq]], which coincided with human raids into Alẋtśaqi camps, and he was forced to return to the now very weakened Alẋtśaq clan and become the T'aan of the tribe, taking care of his three siblings as well as taking the leading role in the war effort. He would also, as agreed in his visit to the Nuł̣ńt'e, that he would marry T'eweł̣q. During this period of time, the Thuhaq would not attempt any incursions, having deemed the Alẋtśaqi defeat irreversible and so this granted the young T'aan a few years to prepare and help his people recover from the previous disasters. This would not last for long, as he would be captured five years later by the Thuhaq during a hunt and remain prisoner for many years, which allowed his enemies to further weaken his people.
==Rise to power==
===Early battles===
After a daring escape in where he was badly wounded, he would return to his people in 1540 AR and, now angered after his capture, would resume the war effort his father previously led, beginning with small scale incursions throughout the following decades and, after gaining enough allies, launched a full scale invasion in 1563 AR where he would manage to defeat several Thuhaqan armies. During this time his first child, [[Ńiin]], would be born during the latter days of that campaign.


His success would be halted however when learning of raids into allied tribes, which forced many of them to return to defend their lands, leaving his army significantly reduced and forcing him to retreat back to his lands by 1565 AR; for the following decade a stalemate would take place where he would defeat Thuhaq raiding parties, but he lacked the force to strike back at them. In 1569 AR would be born his second child, [[Alẋtoc]], and in 1582 his last child, [[Ł̣t'tońat]] would be born.
